Can Tickets, Fines, Tolls, Child Support, Alimony or Assessed Tax Debts Be Discharged

Even a bankruptcy will not discharge many tickets, tolls, fines, child support, alimony payments, and assessed tax debts. These are considered non-dischargeable debts, meaning they must be repaid. Though it depends on what the tickets or fine was assessed for, if one owes money to a federal, state, or other government entity, the debt is often unable to be eliminated even with Debt Removal Secrets.

NOTE: A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is a good way to manage non-dischargeable tickets, tolls and fines, including helping get one's Driver’s License reinstated if it’s been suspended due to unpaid fines. Even if a criminal fine is not dischargeable during bankruptcy, it can be included in the Chapter 13 plan. The creditor (often the state government) is not allowed to collect from the debtor during the bankruptcy. In some cases this can prevent the debtor from having a license revoked or spending time in jail for non-payment of the fine. At the end of the case a non-dischargeable debt survives and the state can collect from you.
