SB 87 amends Code Section
44-13-100 by adding a new subsection (d). The subsection states that after a
debtor who has claimed bankruptcy has paid his debt, he or she can file a
motion in civil action to cancel and discharge the judgment on his or her
property. The motion will need a certified copy of the discharge, and can then
be served to the judgment creditor with a consent order for relief. The court
can then decide to cancel or discharge the order, effective the same date of
judgment. |
