“Discharge and dischargeability "refer to distinct concepts and cannot be used interchangeably" because they "are based on separate policies and are governed by distinct procedural rules." In re Billings , 146 B.R. 431 , 435 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 1992). Denial of discharge under 11 U.S.C. § 727 is a remedy that "punishes debtors for misconduct in the bankruptcy process ." Latman v. Burdette , 366 F.3d 774 , 782 (9th Cir. 2004) (emphasis added) (citing 11 U.S.C. § 727 (a) ). ... In contrast, the rationale for § 523(c) -which allows a creditor to have a specific debt declared nondischargeable-"is that the debtor acted in an improper manner at the time [that] he or she incurred the specific debt." Billings , 146 B.R. at 434 .”
