Some Debts Cannot Be Discharged In Bankruptcy
Both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 will help you with credit card debt, medical bills, payday loans and other unsecured debts. Bankruptcy also provides several options for addressing secured debt, which typically includes home mortgages and car loans. Some financial obligations cannot be discharged, including:
- Debts resulting from fraud
- Child support
- Spousal maintenance
- Student loans
- Debts resulting from drunk driving accidents
- Debts incurred after filing bankruptcy
- Debts omitted from the bankruptcy filing intentionally or by mistake
- Debts stemming from willful injuries to another person or property
Even if some of your debts cannot be discharged, bankruptcy may be beneficial. Eliminating your dischargeable debts may improve your ability to repay student loans or make child support payments. We will examine your finances and help you develop a plan.
