Here's a common defense in a debt lawsuit: Plaintiff’s claims are barred in whole or in part because Defendant’s debt was discharged in bankruptcy.

This means the plaintiff should lose because the debt they're suing you for was eliminated when you declared bankruptcy.

This defense is backed up by 11 US Code §524(a)(1).

This is one of the defenses you can make in the SoloSuit Answer.
