Creditors: You Have Rights
When you are looking to collect money that is owed to you, you need to know what your rights are, what you can legally do to recover what is rightfully yours, and what debts are beyond your reach because your debtors have declared bankruptcy.
You need a law firm with experience and skill to help you recover your debts. We have been working in a wide variety of bankruptcy practice areas for 15 years, and We are a certified specialist in both consumer and business bankruptcy law. If you are a creditor in Eastern Georgia, either call our office in Augusta or Evans, or contact us online to exercise your creditor's rights.
Non-Dischargeable Debts
Some debts cannot be discharged, so you can still collect even when the debtor has declared Chapter 7, Chapter 11 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy:
- Most debts arising from a divorce decree
- Debts incurred by fraud
- Most school debts
- Debts arising from willful or malicious injury to another person
Collecting Divorce-Related Debts
Often many of the debts that arise from divorce decrees or settlements cannot be discharged, so they are collectible even after your ex-spouse declares bankruptcy. Usually a bankruptcy judge is needed to determine whether or not each of the debts are dischargeable.
Debts that are commonly found to be non-dischargeable include:
- Spousal support and alimony
- Child support
- Various insurance and medical debts and other obligations under a divorce agreement
