Bankruptcy
The goal of bankruptcy is simple: to give the filer relief from the burden of debt so they can start over. Although it may not feel like it at the time, bankruptcy can sometimes be the most responsible option. However, the process of deciding what and how to file can be difficult – while bankruptcy affords debtors the opportunity to sort out their financial affairs without having creditors hassle them, there may be negative credit and other ramifications.

Q. What Chapter 7 Bankruptcy debts may be discharged?
A. The policy behind bankruptcy law is to allow an honest debtor to start anew without financial burden. In Chapter 7, most debts are dischargeable including medical bills, loans, credit card purchases and cash advances, and many judgments. However there are some exceptions. An individual contemplating Chapter 7 must know what is dischargeable and what is not; otherwise valuable assets can be lost.
