There are certain debts that can never be discharged under any type of bankruptcy. This should be a factor in your decision because the debts will not go away and they will continue to collect interest even during your bankruptcy. Some examples of nondischargeable debts include: * All debts not listed in the bankruptcy petition * Student loans - unless undue hardship to repay
* Taxes - Federal, state, and municipal
* Fines for violating the law: including criminal fines and traffic tickets
* Alimony and child support
* Debts for personal injury caused by driving while intoxicated

What does it mean for a bankruptcy to be discharged?
You may be referring to the discharge of debts in bankruptcy. Not all debts can be discharged. Most discharged debts are partially discharged in Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 actions. Debts or the portions thereof that are discharged no longer exist at law and creditors no longer can attempt collection. It is a "fresh start". You attorney can advise you as to which debts are likely to be discharged, which ones reorganized, and which debts will likely not be discharged.
