What would you like to do?
Yes. Medical bills, credit cards, mortgages and car loans on surrendered or lost collateral, personal loans, bank fees, utility bills, etc. can all be discharged in bankruptcy assuming the court doesn't deem any of the debts to have been acquired by fraud.

Can you declare bankruptcy on credit cards and doctors bills only?
No. Bankruptcy involves everything you owe and everything you own. No exceptions. YOU DO NOT PICK AND CHOOSE. Basically, your assets are used to pay your debts. Ob…viously, it is unfair, and not the intention of BK to let you keep the assets of value you want, and escape paying for the things you don't want to pay for. After all things are listed, they are given different legal priorities. Somethings of each are excluded (like your personal furniture can't be taken, nor can child support be discharged). They must be listed to be given the proper handling by the court. not doing so has severl very bad implications: First, you swear to the court that you are doing so and not doing is a criminal act, prosecuted as fraud. Anything not listed isn't protected...and the entire case can be dismissed.
