Identifying Dischargeable Debts

Credit card debt and most unsecured debt are dischargeable through Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy law.

Non-dischargeable debts include:

• Child support
• Maintenance
• Taxes
• Fines
• Debts due to fraudulent activity
• Student loans

If you have a secured debt such as your mortgage or car loan, you will lose your house or car if you stop paying.

The good news is that even if your debt is non-dischargeable such as with a student loan, it is possible for you to obtain help through Chapter 13 to restructure your payment plan and also lower the total amount you may pay.

What You Need to Know About the Means Test

To discharge your debts through Chapter 7, you must pass what is called the "means test." This is a test to prevent people with large incomes from avoiding paying their debts.

If you make less than the average median income of the state you pass the means test. If you make more, you may still pass the test if you have large expenses.

Your attorney can help you figure out if you pass the means test. Even if you fail the means test, you may still get bankruptcy help through Chapter 13.
