After you file bankruptcy, you are required to take a debtor education class. This class is necessary to receive a discharge of your debts. Once you complete the course you will receive a debtor education certificate.
The purpose of the debtor education class is to teach you how to budget your income and responsibly manage your finances after you complete the bankruptcy process.
Here is a list of US Trustee approved Illinois debtor education courses:
