Absolutely, that is why you are filing a Chapter 7 is to get rid of your debts. Even if the debt has already gone to judgment it is still dischargeable in bankruptcy unless the loan was obtained by fraud. Since you have been served you need to get started with your bankruptcy. Call me!

Under Chapter 7, most credit card, medical and legal debts are discharged, as well as most court judgments and loans. However, some debts are not discharged. The most common loans that are not dischargeable are loans owed to a retirement plan and student loans.

All loans should be included in your bankruptcy schedules when you file any bankruptcy, including, but not limited to, any Chapter 7. It is NOT too late to file for Chapter 7 if you were served with a Court Summons yesterday. Even if there is a judgment entered against you, you can still file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. To see if bankruptcy is right for you, please call me for a free consultation.
