If I had an adversary proceeding and settled with 1 creditor to make monthly payments for a period of 5 years, now that they are paid off how can I get proof?

I filed chapter 7 bankruptcy and was granted a discharge. I had an adversary proceeding and settled with 1 creditor to make monthly payments for a period of 5 years. I have finally paid that off in full. I would like proof that it was paid and wanted to see if I could require them to file it as “satisfied” with the bankruptcy court. Is there a form or anything that I can request the creditor to submit?

Upon full performance of a settlement agreement, the parties shall file an “Agreed 
Stipulation of Dismissal” signed by all parties who have appeared in the action.” 
See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(ii).  I am going to give you a link to the Federal Court in Kansas that gives a form but this is federal court so I am sure that you could modify it and use it.  Good luck.
