Which Debts Cannot Be Eliminated?

Most debts will be eliminated with bankruptcy, however it normally does not affect:
  • Child support or alimony;
  • Fines and penalties which are owed to government agencies;
  • Most taxes and debts incurred to pay taxes which can not be discharged;
  • Student loans, unless you can prove to the court that repaying them will be an "undue hardship";
  • Debts not listed on your bankruptcy petition;
  • Loans which were given by knowingly giving false information to a creditor, who reasonably relied on it in making you the loan;
  • Debts resulting from "willful and malicious" harm;
  • Debts incurred by driving while intoxicated;
  • Mortgages and other liens which are not paid in the bankruptcy case (but bankruptcy will wipe out your obligation to pay any additional money if the property is sold by the creditor).
