No, if a debt has been discharged in bankruptcy you will not have to pay that debt even if you get credit from the same creditor. Basically if you have a credit card with a company in discharge of that in bankruptcy and after you receive your discharge get another credit card with the same company, you will not have to pay them for the debt that was discharged in your bankruptcy.
