What can't Bankruptcy do for Me?

There are some debts that bankruptcy will not help you with:

• Generally bankruptcy will not help you against a secured creditor, unless you are willing to relinquish the security interest. This may be a good option for an upside down property or mortgage where the asset is worth substantially less than the amount that is owed on the loan.
• A bankruptcy will not help you eliminate alimony or child support obligations
• Generally you cannot wipe out student loans, unless you have an undue hardship so that would would not be able to use the training you received.
• A bankruptcy will not often let you eliminate tax debt. Although you may be able to reduce it in some situations.
• A bankruptcy will not eliminate debts that are not included in the bankruptcy.
