The time for appeal of a bankruptcy court order, to the US District Court, is ten days.

I filed chapter 7 in 2019. I included several loans that were owed directly to the institutions (not gov't backed like Navient/Sallie Mae). These accounts were turned over to collections prior to me filing bankruptcy and were sent a bankruptcy notice. Am I still on the hook for the balances?
