You must amend your creditor matrix. This costs $32 to do each time you do it, so it is important to do it right the first time.

What can I do? I'm a creditor in a bankruptcy and I got a letter saying that the debtor got a Discharge of Debtor. Is there another to get my money?

Your time to object to the discharge of her debt has passed, so there isn't anything you can do at this point.  You could have possibly objected on the basis of fraud (although that is difficult to prove, and would have cost at least $5,000+ to litigate). If she had any unprotected assets, you should have received a notice from the court telling you to file a claim.  If not, then there is nothing to be disbursed, and your debt having been discharged, there isn't anything further you can do.

There are some conflicting opinions on this issue. I assume your plan said you would continue to make payments on the car. However, I would take the position that the debt will be discharged when you receive your chapter 13 discharge and that they cannot now try to collect either because you are in a pending bankruptcy.
