In re Stephens (09-40808)
The Court granted the Debtor's three objections to discharge against the same creditor when the creditor could not establish a chain of assignment for its claims. The Court discussed the basic federal rule that in bankruptcy, state law governs the substance of claims; the Court also examined Georgia state law cases illustrating the proper way to assign a claim.
