I didn't even know there was a 523(b). I should have known since I was
aware of (c) and (d). Great stuff.

Thank you - that's what I was looking for, even though it's not the answer I wanted. It always helps to actually read the code.

You really have to start with my Golden Rule number 5 - ALL DEBTS ARE DISCHARGED IN CHAPTER 7 UNLESS 523 says the debt is not-discharged - no matter who it is owed to and no matter why.
523(b) deals with debts which survive previous bankruptcy cases.
"523(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a debt that was excepted from discharge under subsection (a)(1), (a)(3), or (a)(8) of this section, under section 17a(1), 17a(3), or 17a(5) of the Bankruptcy Act, under section 439A (!1) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, or under section 733(g) (!1) of the Public Health Service Act in a prior case concerning the debtor under this title, or under the Bankruptcy Act, is dischargeable in a case under this title unless, by the terms of subsection (a) of this section, such debt is not dischargeable in the case under this title."

I always assumed that if something is non dischargeable in a prior
bankruptcy, it serves as issue preclusion in future bk cases. 1328 does not
discharge 523(a)(3) debt so I figure it's not dischargeable.
Remember though, I have no experience in the Ch 13 world and almost none in
7. I may be completely off. My saving grace is I am very lucky!

Would 523a3A actually apply in the chapter 13?
We're not arguing that the $100,000 debt was discharged in the chapter 7; because it's a 523a15 equalization payment, it couldn't have been discharged in that case. I think 523a3A would be another reason that the $100,000 payment wasn't discharged in the chapter 7.

Another relevant fact I forgot to mention: in the chapter 7, PC paid the trustee a sum equivalent to 100 cents on the dollar for the listed debts, in order to avoid a sale of the house. Thus there was a distribution that the ex did not participate in. This is what makes the wariest about discharging the $100,000 in a later chapter 13.

Hello Brain Trust:
PC filed a chapter 7 in 2009. At the time, she owed an equalization payment to her ex in the amount of $100,000, due upon the sale of a house in which she had an interest (though a trust). Her chapter 7 counsel realized neither that the house interest needed to be included on her schedules, nor that the husband needed to be listed as a creditor.
After discharge, the trust sold the house. She now owes the $100,000. As I read the code, this sum is dischargeable in a chapter 13, but not in a chapter 7.
Does the fact that she did not include this debt in her prior chapter 7 present any obstacle to discharge? I do not see it, but I'm wary.
