Understanding Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and Dischargeable Debts in New York

Are you struggling with overwhelming debt in New York and considering filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy? It's important to understand which debts can be discharged through this process. Many individuals often wonder if their student loans can be discharged as well. At J. Singer Law Group, PLLC, we specialize in assisting the New York public with bankruptcy matters, including understanding what debts can be discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a common form of bankruptcy that allows individuals to eliminate most unsecured debts, such as credit card debt, medical bills, and personal loans. However, there are certain types of debts that cannot be discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy. These include child support payments, alimony obligations, certain tax debts, and student loans.
When it comes to student loans, it is generally very difficult to have them discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In order to have your student loans discharged, you must prove undue hardship. This is a high standard to meet and requires showing that you are unable to maintain a minimal standard of living while repaying your student loans.
