An Illinois Order of Discharge is a legal document issued by the court system in the state of Illinois that releases an individual from their legal responsibilities to a creditor or other party. This document legally releases an individual from any debts or other liabilities that they owe. There are two main types of Illinois Order of Discharge: Voluntary (or Chapter 7) and Involuntary (or Chapter 13). A Voluntary Order of Discharge is issued when an individual has completed their repayment plan or bankruptcy proceedings and is released from their debts. An Involuntary Order of Discharge is issued when a creditor has taken legal action against the individual and a court has determined that the individual has no ability to pay the debt. In both cases, the Order of Discharge relieves the individual of their debts and liabilities.
