Debts which cannot be
included for discharge in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy
may include, but not limited to:
Typically an individual who
files for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy has a large
credit card debt which may include multiple credit
cards, various unsecured bills with may be associated
with various assets which the payment status may or may
not be delinquent.
In many Chapter 7
bankruptcy situations you may be able to keep
specific secured debts such as your car, furniture, or
home, as long as you reaffirm your commitment to
continue paying these debts. In order to keep these
items in a successful Chapter 7 bankruptcy you
must voluntary sign a "reaffirmation agreement", which
stipulates that you cannot file bankruptcy to discharge
the debt of these items for 6 years.
The purpose of the
"Reaffirmation Agreement" is to protect "reaffirmed"
debtors, as well as ensuring an individual does not try
to abuse the bankruptcy process.
