Not always...a payment plan is established that requires an amount of payments be made for a period of years....any amounts still owing are then generally discharged. The idea being, at least some of your debt is paid...and you may learn to budget and live on what you have to spend rather than just incurring debt to do so.

∙ 14y agoNot dischargeable in Chapter 7 are recent taxes; family support; debts to spouse arising from divorce; student loans ; drunk driving judgments; criminal fines or restitution; or debts incurred by fraud or intentional wrongdoing.

Everything else is dischargeable: loans, credit card debts, judgments, medical bills, old income taxes. More on treatment of different kinds of debt in bankruptcy.
Remember, liens and mortgages survive the bankruptcy: the debtor personally has no further liability for the debt, but the lien (a charge on the asset that is the collateral) survives as an interest in the asset. In appropriate circumstances, liens can be avoided because they impair an exemption or because the lien doesn't really attach to any value in the collateral.
