Can fraud be discharged from bankruptcy court if there was no intent to commit fraud?

Giovanni Orantes
Answered by attorney Giovanni Orantes (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Orantes Law Firm
If a Court already adjudged that a debt was incurred through fraud, a creditor can come into bankruptcy court and ask the Court to rule that such debt is nondischargeable and will likely prevail. However, if no Court has decreed that fraud was committed, the creditor would have to come into bankruptcy court to get a ruling from the Bankruptcy court and intent is the biggest factor as to whether the debt is dischargeable. If the creditor cannot prove intent, the Court should rule that it's dischargeable.

What chapter of bankruptcy should I file to avoid a deficiency judgment?

Answered by attorney Spencer Thomas Hale (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at San Tan Family Law
Either chapter will protect you from a deficiency judgment. What you should consider is whether the state's anti-deficiency statutes protect you even outside of a bankruptcy.

If I do bankruptcy, does this wipe the slate clean, or will I still have massive bills to pay?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Bankruptcy can eliminate most kinds of debts, but it doesn't eliminate all kinds of debts, so I cannot offer you an iron clad guarantee that you won't have massive debts to pay without knowing more about the types of debts you have.
