Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 may get rid of unsecured debts, repossessions, garnishments, debt collection activities, and stop foreclosure. However, bankruptcy usually does not erase alimony, taxes, child support, and some student loan obligations. Chapter 13 usually does not allow you to keep property that has a lien on it or unpaid mortgage.
