It is my understanding that DISCHARGE is payment of an obligation via money or some other valuable thing, OR there is no claim.

If, for instance a person was to lien a court file re: bank claim for a credit card or line of credit... and that person received notice of discharge of that lien, this would be construed as the claim was dropped �that there is no claim from the bank?

It would mean that the court case has been disharged, I don't think the claim from the bank is necesseraly gone :-\

And I don't understand DISCHARGE the same way you understand it.

To me, it's more like dumping something in the garbage :D

Discharge

To liberate or free; to terminate or extinguish. A discharge is the act or instrument by which a contract or agreement is ended. A mortgage is discharged if it has been carried out to the full extent originally contemplated or terminated prior to total execution.

Discharge also means to release, as from legal confinement in prison or the military service, or from some legal obligation such as jury duty, or the payment of debts by a person who is bankrupt. The document that indicates that an individual has been legally released from the military service is called a discharge.
