If you are facing serious debt problems, bankruptcy may be a powerful remedy. In most situations, all debts are included in a bankruptcy. Some of the most common debts that can be included in a bankruptcy are:
Tax debt
Car loan debt
Cell phone debt
Credit card debt
Payday loans
Student loans (if you have ceased being a full or part-time student for a minimum of 7 years)
Consolidation debt (if your loans were consolidated through an unsecured loan, these amounts can be included in a bankruptcy)
However, after being discharged from your bankruptcy, there may still be some surviving debts. These debts would include:
Fines or penalties imposed by a court
Award of damages with respect to intentional bodily harm, sexual assault or wrongful death
Alimony and child support
Debts arising from illegal activity such as fraud, embezzlement, etc.
Debts incurred by fraudulent misrepresentation
Dividend for creditors not disclosed to the trustee
