It depends on which debts are discharged in your bankruptcy. There are several types of debts, such as student loans, which consistently persist through bankruptcy. Moreover, you may be liable even for debts that traditionally are discharged, such as credit card debts, where there is even of bad faith and manipulativeness on your part, i.e. you racked up thousands in credit card debt in the days before filing for bankruptcy.

As a responsible cardholder, you are generally liable for any credit card debt up to the statute of limitations as established within your state.

Debt collectors may still pursue debt collection even beyond the statute of limitations.
