What Debts Can Be Discharged Through Bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy can help discharge certain types of debts. This includes unsecured debts like credit card balances, medical bills, personal loans, and past-due utility bills. For individuals struggling with these kinds of debts, filing for bankruptcy can provide a fresh financial start by eliminating their obligation to repay these debts.

It's important to know that filing for bankruptcy will not eliminate every debt. Most debts, including student loans, alimony, child support, and most tax obligations, are usually not dischargeable. If you want to preserve the collateral (your house or vehicles), secured debts like mortgages and auto loans might not be completely dismissed. Rather, as part of the bankruptcy procedure, the terms of the debt may be changed or reorganized.

Navigating the complexities of what can and cannot be discharged is one of the critical reasons why individuals considering bankruptcy should consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney in Minnesota. They can provide guidance on how bankruptcy may affect your specific debts based on your financial situation and goals.

Debt Collection Laws in Minnesota

Debtors have many protections under federal law, and those in Minnesota have additional protections under Minn. Stat. §§332.31 to 332.45. These laws protect Minnesota debtors from harassment by collection agencies and the original debt collectors. Debt collectors are also required to be licensed in Minnesota.

If you face harassment from a collector or collection agency, our attorneys can help you with your options to end this harassment, including filing for bankruptcy to implement the automatic stay. We can also help you with more information about how state and federal laws affect bankruptcy.

Commonly Asked Questions

What is bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy is a legal process that allows individuals or businesses to eliminate or repay their debts under the protection of the bankruptcy court.

What are the different types of bankruptcy?

The main types of bankruptcy for individuals are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 involves the liquidation of assets to repay creditors, while Chapter 13 involves creating a repayment plan to pay off debts over a period of time.

How does bankruptcy affect my credit?

Filing for bankruptcy will have a negative impact on your credit score and will remain on your credit report for several years. However, it can also provide a fresh start and an opportunity to rebuild your credit over time.

Will I lose my home if I file for bankruptcy?

Filing for bankruptcy does not automatically mean you will lose your home. There are exemptions and protections in place to help you keep your home, especially if you are current on your mortgage payments.

Can I file for bankruptcy on my own?

While it is possible to file for bankruptcy on your own, it is highly recommended to seek the guidance of a bankruptcy attorney. They can help navigate the complex legal process, ensure your rights are protected, and increase your chances of a successful outcome.

How long does the bankruptcy process take?

The length of the bankruptcy process can vary depending on the type of bankruptcy and individual circumstances. Chapter 7 bankruptcy typically takes a few months to complete, while Chapter 13 bankruptcy can last three to five years.
