There is dispute as to whether my student loans were discharged in 1986 Federal 9th circuit. My question is: was a special order or motion apart from the regular bankruptcy proceedings required (as it is now) to establish undue hardship in 1986? The judge questioned me about hardship etc. and the front of the discharge papaer state that "It is ordered that...any judgment heretofore or hereafter obtainded in any court other that this court is null and void as adetermination of the personal liability of the debtor with respect to any of the following: (a) debts dischargeable under 11 U.S.C. 523" It reads as though it presume that the loan(s) scheduled meet the dischargeability requirements if any specified in section 523. In other words it reads as though the judge found the loans met one or both conditions for dischargeability in section 523 ((a).
