Understanding What Constitutes Dischargeable Debt

After successfully applying for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, an individual’s unsecured debts may be discharged. In such cases, a copy of the final order of discharge informs all creditors that applicable debts have been released, and no further attempt to collect those debts should be taken. Furthermore, creditors are informed that should they continue to try and collect any debt owed, they may be subject to litigation. With these debts discharged, individuals are granted a fresh start and are able to regain financial control over their lives.
