Assuming a discharge is granted and none of the $20,000 deficiency is paid (e.g., due to insufficiency of funds), the $20,000 deficiency—the debtor's personal liability—is discharged (assuming the debt is not non-dischargeable under another Bankruptcy Code provision). The $80,000 portion of the debt is the in rem liability, and it is not discharged by the court's discharge order.

The modern layout for an ejection seat was first proposed by Romanian inventor Anastase Dragomir in the late 1920s. The design featured a parachuted cell (a dischargeable chair from an aircraft or other vehicle). It was successfully tested on 25 August 1929 at the Paris-Orly Airport near Paris and in October 1929 at Băneasa, near Bucharest. Dragomir patented his "catapult-able cockpit" at the French Patent Office.

This liability can presumably be satisfied by the creditor taking the asset itself. An essential concept is that when commentators say that a debt is "dischargeable", they are referring only to the debtor's personal liability on the debt. To the extent that a liability is covered by the value of collateral, the debt is not discharged. This analysis assumes, however, that the collateral does not increase in value after commencement of the case.
|
|
The discharge also does not eliminate certain rights of a creditor to setoff (or "offset") certain mutual debts owed by the creditor to the debtor against certain claims of that creditor against the debtor, where both the debt owed by the creditor and the claim against the debtor arose prior to the commencement of the case.See . Not every debt may be discharged under every chapter of the Code. Certain taxes owed to Federal, state or local government, student loans, and child support obligations are not dischargeable.

If you are in the process of reaffirming a debt and feel it will not be filed before the discharge deadline, notify the clerk's office in writing to delay entry of the discharge until the reaffirmation is filed. Reaffirmations are strictly voluntary. If you wish to reaffirm (agree to pay back) any particular debt, you must enter into a written agreement with the creditor, which legally obligates you to pay all or a portion of a dischargeable (wiped out by the bankruptcy) debt. The form for this is Form 240A Reaffirmation Agreement.

In the United States, student loans are rarely dischargeable in bankruptcy, and typically lenders provide student loans without requiring security. This stands in contrast to lenders requiring borrowers to have an equity stake in a comparably-sized real estate loan, as described above, secured by both a down payment and a mortgage. An explanation for the willingness of creditors to provide unsecured student loans is that, in a practical sense, American student loans are secured by the borrower's future earnings. This is so since creditors may legally garnish wages when a borrower defaults.

This type of locationized gun cannot be fired unless it is located within the range of a signal that enables firing of the gun.US Patent 5068989, John M.

Further complicating matters, the undue hardship standard varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but is generally difficult to meet, making student loans practically non- dischargeable through bankruptcy. In most circuits discharge depends on meeting three prongs in the Brunner test: > As noted by the district court, there is very little appellate authority on > the definition of "undue hardship" in the context of 11 U.S.C. § > 523(a)(8)(B). Based on legislative history and the decisions of other > district and bankruptcy courts, the district court adopted a standard for > "undue hardship" requiring a three-part showing: (1) that the debtor cannot > maintain, based on current income and expenses, a "minimal" standard of > living for herself and her dependents if forced to repay the loans; (2) that > additional circumstances exist indicating that this state of affairs is > likely to persist for a significant portion of the repayment period of the > student loans; and (3) that the debtor has made good faith efforts to repay > the loans. For the reasons set forth in the district court's order, we adopt > this analysis.
