Best Answer

The effect of a discharge in bankruptcy is to release the debtor from personal liability for most types of debts. This means that the debtor is no longer legally obligated to repay the discharged debts and creditors are prohibited from taking any further collection actions against the debtor. However, certain types of debts, such as student loans and child support obligations, may not be dischargeable.
