As part of our unwavering commitment to keeping you well-informed throughout your bankruptcy proceedings, we're here to provide insights into one crucial aspect of the process: the discharging of creditor debt.

What is a Bankruptcy Discharge?

When we discuss the bankruptcy discharge of debts, we are referring to the legal release of the debtor (which is you) from personal liability. This means you are no longer legally obliged to repay these debts. Furthermore, creditors associated with these discharged debts are legally prohibited from contacting you through phone calls, letters, or in person.

Types of Bankruptcy for Debt Discharge

Debt discharge is available under four types of bankruptcy: Chapter 7, 11, 12, and 13. Many individuals often choose Chapter 7, as it can eliminate debt within a relatively short period, typically three to six months from the time of filing.

Which Debts Are Eligible for Discharge?

However, not all debts are eligible for discharge. Debts such as child support, specific student loans, and certain tax obligations may not qualify. On the other hand, debts like credit card debt and medical bills are frequently eligible for discharge.
