What Happens To Credit Card And Medical Debt In A Bankruptcy?

In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, unsecured credit card debt and medical debt are completely wiped off your record. In Chapter 13, you pay a portion of your debts back over a three- to five-year period. Most plans require the individual to pay much less than the amount that is actually owed, typically pennies on the dollar. At the end of the plan, the remainder of the debt is discharged.

The only credit card debts that creditors may object to are charges made within 90 days of the discharge. We advise our clients to keep this in mind as they are preparing to file for bankruptcy.

Raising Your Credit

Many people wait too long to file bankruptcy because they are concerned about the effect it may have on their credit. If you are facing significant debt problems and continuously receive calls from creditors, your credit score is probably already low. If that is the case, your credit will likely improve with bankruptcy. Bankruptcy wipes out your unsecured debts, allowing you to get a fresh start.
