Debts that Cannot Be Discharged
One of the biggest benefits of a bankruptcy filing is that it allows the filer to discharge certain debts. When debts are discharged, they are no longer the responsibility of the bankruptcy filer. While the various chapters of bankruptcy determine what debts are discharged, there are some debts which cannot be discharged under any chapter. Knowing which debts cannot be discharged can be important in determining whether or not filing for bankruptcy can help you.
