Most unsecured debts are dischargeable under Chapter 7, but there are those that remain in both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Income-related taxes, medical bills, loans to friends, and credit card bills could be forgiven, but family support payments, student loans, debts incurred as a result of willful and malicious acts or driving while drunk, as well as criminal fines and penalties and forfeitures remain.
