If a bankruptcy case is dismissed, that means that a discharge was not granted and therefore everything is the same as it was before the bankruptcy case was filed, and creditors (those who are owed money by the debtor) can seek to collect pursuant to applicable laws. Whether or not the creditor "disputed" anything during the bankruptcy case is irrelevant if the case is ultimately dismissed.
