Not All Debts Are Dischargeable
Many debts, including credit card and medical bills, are dischargeable. But many debts are not dischargeable through bankruptcy, leaving debtors to repay them as they embark on life after bankruptcy. The most common types of non-dischargeable debts are:
- Certain tax claims and tax-advantaged retirement plans
- Debts not set forth by the debtor on the lists and schedules
- Child support, spousal support or alimony
- Debts for willful and malicious injuries to a person or property
- Debts to governmental units for fines and penalties
- Debts for most government funded or guaranteed educational loans
- Debts for personal injury caused by the debtor's operation of a motor vehicle while intoxicated
- Debts for certain condominium or cooperative housing fees
Also, if you are a business owner, it is important to remember that corporate debt cannot be discharged. For more information about your options, visit our Business and Bankruptcy page.
