If you were discharged it means you successfully completed your BK and your debts are no longer owed. A dismissal operates as if you never filed and you still owe the debts except to the extent you paid some in the Chapter 13. If you are being chased by your creditors again, see a BK attorney-most offer free initial consultations

You still owe the debts and the creditors can still come after you for their money.
