Will Bankruptcy
Wipe Out All My Debts?
Yes, with some exceptions. Bankruptcy will not
normally wipe out:
(1) money owed for child support or alimony,
fines, and some taxes;
(2) debts not listed on your bankruptcy petition;
(3) loans you got by knowingly giving false
information to a creditor, who reasonably relied on it in making
you the loan;
(4) debts resulting from "willful and
malicious" harm;
(5) student loans owed to a school or government
body, except if:
-- the court decides that payment would be an undue hardship;
(6) 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).
