Lets start with - a thing doesn't file BK...a this or a that...YOU file bankruptcy. It involves EVERYTHING you owe and everything you own. It is not limited to some aspect - like medical debts or credit cards or the secured property debts of your life.
Some certain things may be exempt (or treated specially) from being used to pay a debt, and some debts may not be able to be cleared (like child support, student loans). A secured debt, that is one that has a right to a certain asset, has first call on the funds from the sale of that asset....and if that isn't enough, any additional amounts can be claimed as unsecured debts owed, and provided by other assets.
But the important thing to start is you do not pick and choose what you want to include...because just like your question...you would include the loan (and every debt)...but not the property, or assets!
Under Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, if you qualify, you will pay back the debts under a payment plan and keep the assets, while protected by the court from seizure actions.

When filing bankruptcy which chapter eliminates all debt?
It depends. Most any of the types can, or may not. Some considerations are if your speaking of a business (Corporation) or personal bankruptcy, if the debts are secured or not, and how much of what type of assets there are and if any of them are to be maintained after the bankruptcy as determined by the Court and creditors. There is no personal bankruptcy where secured debts or other obligations such as child support arrearages. A chapter 7 is a total liquidation bankruptcy in which the debtor can discharge all debts that are not secured including judgments, liens that have not been "perfected", stop wage garnishment, etc. The petitioner will however be required to relinquish all non exempted property.

If you own a business that is an LLC can you file bankruptcy for your personal debts hence leaving the business out of it?
Well yes to the degree the business has nothing to do with your personal BK...it makes no difference to it. However, your personal ownership of the business (just like if you invested/owned stock in any company and it had value), may well become something that the creditors would want to pay your personal debts. And they certainly would at least want to see that you didn't hide any personal assets under the name of the business...like the business owns the cars and the boat and the vacation house....and has undistributed earnings...don't laugh - many people try this).

If you file BK and the business is just that - a sole proprietorship...you doing business as "a business name"...they are all your personal debts. If it is incorporated, a Corporation, or several other forms of legal entity - you may not have any obligation for any of the debts in that entities name, unless of course, you were required to sign for them personally too...which in small or newer businesses of any type is common.
