When a debt is discharged in bankruptcy, it does not have to be repaid — but not all debts can be discharged.
Dischargeable vs. Non-Dischargeable
The US Bankruptcy Code is clear as to which debts can be discharged and which cannot:
Dischargeable debts
- Medical bills
- Credit card bills
- Business loans
- Personal loans
Non-dischargeable debts
- Taxes
- Alimony
- Child support
- Court ordered fines
