Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy eliminates credit card debt, medical bills and unsecured loans; however, there are some debts that cannot be discharged. Those debts include child support, spousal support obligations, student loans, judgments for damages resulting from drunk driving accidents, and most unpaid taxes.
While it may feel odd to pay fees to tell the courts you don't have enough money, you typically have to pay court fees to file for bankruptcy. The filing fee for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is $338, while the filing fee for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is $313.
What can't be done through Chapter 7? A Chapter 7 bankruptcy cannot: Discharge past-due child support, property taxes, recent IRS debts, and most student loans. Protect you from ?hot check? or other criminal charges, or waive criminal fines, fees, penalties, and restitution.
Examples of nonexempt assets that can be subject to liquidation: Additional home or residential property that is not your primary residence. Investments that are not part of your retirement accounts. An expensive vehicle(s) not covered by bankruptcy exemptions.
You may hear it called a ?liquidation? bankruptcy because your trustee can liquidate, or sell off, an nonexempt property. This might sound scary but rest assured that most Chapter 7 filers do not lose any property because their property is protected by exemptions.
