Salt Lake City Bankruptcy Lawyers

Criminal Fines, Restitution & Penalties

If you have any fines, victim restitution or any fees related to a criminal activity or criminal court judgment, these cannot be discharged through bankruptcy. Criminal penalties are classified as non-dischargeable debts and a successfully completed Chapter 7 liquidation or Chapter 13 repayment plan will not result in the discharge of these. The same applies to any judgments against you or debts incurred as a result of personal injury or wrongful death caused to others, due to your negligent or wrongful conduct.

Even if you have serious criminal penalties, fines or restitution you owe, you can still file for bankruptcy. At the very least, filing for bankruptcy can discharge your other debts in order to make it possible for you to pay your criminal penalties.
