Automatic Stays And Discharges In Bankruptcy Macon GA

Through bankruptcy, most of the debtor's debts are eliminated, thereby providing an honest but unfortunate debtor a fresh start. Although each chapter differs from the others in significant ways, there are important elements that are common to all bankruptcy cases: automatic stays and discharges. Filing for bankruptcy puts into effect an "Order for Relief" -- known informally as the "automatic stay." The automatic stay immediately stops most creditors from trying to collect what you owe them. The second of these common elements is the bankruptcy discharge. The primary objective of bankruptcy is to discharge certain debts to give an honest individual debtor a fresh start. The discharge operates differently in the various chapters. Some debts are not discharged by bankruptcy. These include:

1. Alimony and child maintenance and support obligations,
2. Certain taxes,
3. Debts for certain educational loans made or guaranteed by a governmental unit,
4. Debts for willful and malicious injury inflicted by the debtor,
5. Debts for death or personal injury caused by the debtor's operation of a motor vehicle while the debtor was intoxicated from alcohol or other substances, and
6. Debts for criminal restitution orders.
