Current bankruptcy law specifies particular types of debts that can and cannot be discharged. When you hire Kingcade & Garcia, our attorneys will provide a complete evaluation and give you an honest assessment of your financial circumstances. We will let you know which debts can be discharged and if filing for bankruptcy may be an effective debt relief option for you. Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy allow borrowers to eliminate their unsecured debts. Secured debt is backed by some form of collateral, like a house, while unsecured debt, such as credit card debt, is not tied to any tangible object.
Dischargeable Debt

- Credit card debt
