Will bankruptcy discharge the entire amount of debt owed?

The answer to this question depends on the type of debt that is being considered. In Utah, bankruptcy generally will discharge the majority of debts, allowing individuals to be released from the obligation of repayment. This includes credit card debt, medical debt, personal loans, and other consumer debts. However, some types of debt may not be discharged in a bankruptcy. These include certain types of taxes, alimony, child support, most student loans, damage awards, and court-ordered payments. In addition, some creditors may attempt to prove that the debt is not dischargeable through the bankruptcy court. In general, filing for bankruptcy in Utah will usually result in a decrease in the overall amount of debt owed by individuals. Depending on the type of debt and the filing status, some or all of the debt may be discharged. Nevertheless, not every type of debt will be eligible for discharge, so it’s important to seek professional legal advice to determine the types of debt affected by bankruptcy.
