Non-Dischargeable Debts in Utah

Non-dischargeable debts in Utah are debts that cannot be discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. If you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you will be responsible for paying your non-dischargeable debts after your dischargeable debts have been discharged. They are also debts that you will have to include in your repayment plan under Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Non-dischargeable debts include the following:

• Debts related to family support, including child support, alimony and other familial debts.
• Debts after you were found guilty of driving while intoxicated.
• Student loan debt that you cannot prove would cause you an undue hardship if you were forced to repay it.
• Fines you received from breaking the law.
• Tax debts from three years ago and other tax debts.
• Debts that your creditors remind the bankruptcy court of after you fail to list them.

Possible Non-Dischargeable Debts

Your judge can also declare that other debts are non-dischargeable if your creditors refuse to allow these debts to be discharged. These include the following:

• Debts that came from a fraud that you committed.
• Credit card purchases in the amount of at least $1,150 made within two months of filing for bankruptcy.
• Loans in the amount of at least $1,150 that you took out within two months before filing for bankruptcy.
• Debts that you owe for intentional injury to another person or someone else’s property.
• Debts that you incurred because you committed breach of trust, larceny or embezzlement.
• Debts that you owe after a divorce unless you cannot afford to pay them after your bankruptcy.
