Bankruptcy and Bills - Know Your Rights!

Bankruptcy and Bills

The underlying policy of the bankruptcy law is that the honest debtor who is in debt beyond his or her ability to repay the debt should be given a fresh start through the discharge of debts in a bankruptcy proceeding.
Not all debts are dischargeable. Generally speaking, the following debts will not be discharged:

  • Taxes
  • Spousal and child support
  • Debts arising out of willful or malicious misconduct
  • Liability from driving while intoxicated
  • Debts from a prior bankruptcy
  • Student loans
  • Criminal fines and penalties

    Those debts which are secured will be discharged, however, expect the creditor to take the necessary legal steps to take back the property. In most cases if the debtor's equity interest in the property is exempt, the debtor may retain the property by redemption or reaffirmation.
