English term

Discharge (see context, please)

English to Spanish Law/Patents Law (general) Bankruptcy
In bankruptcy, when speaking about the bankrupt, discharge is "rehabilitación". When speaking of debts, it is "saldar", "cancelar" or just "pagar".
The question is, I don't quite understand the meaning of my text. It is quite easy, but makes me doubt.
It says the following:

What is the effect of discharge of a debt in Bankruptcy?
A Creditor, in most cases, cannot attempt to collect a debt that has been discharged by the bankruptcy court. This means the creditor cannot take the property or earnings for those claims that have been discharged. In the case of property that was put up as security for a loan, the creditor may take that property back in exchange for the discharge of the debt.

Is it something like "una deuda que fue declarada saldada por el tribunal de quiebras" or something of the sort?
In the last sentence, the meaning is quite clear, in that case I think it just means "saldar". They take the property back as payment of the amount owed.
¡Creo que mi neurona se trabó!
Thanks!!

Ver explicación

"discharge" también se refiere a "absolver", "liberar de una obligación", a "extinción de una obligación" (diccionario bilingüe de terminología jurídica McGraw Hill)
En el caso del primer párrafo al que te refeieres creo que este es el contexto; deudas que han sido "levantadas", que "quedan absueltas o libres de la obligación de pago", a veces con ciertas condiciones, en caso de quiebra.
