St. Louis Bankruptcy Attorney-Debt Classification Facts.


By St. Louis Bankruptcy Attorney Frank Ledbetter


 


I've been a St. Louis bankruptcy lawyer since 2003. If you're filing for bankruptcy, then you are likely to come across stuff like secured debts, priority debts, and unsecured debts. It is very important that you understand precisely what the different types of debt classification mean.


 


Secured debts are the debts that allow the lender to repossess personal property or foreclose upon real property if the borrower does not make repayments to the lender in a timely fashion.  Mortgage loans against real property are secured debts if the property has not already been foreclosed upon or deeded back to the lender.  Purchase money vehicle loans, furniture loans, electronics equipment loans, and jewelry loans for which the purchased personal property was agreed in writing to be collateral for the loan are also secured debts.  "Title-loans" are also secured debts even though they will be taken out after the collateral has been purchased.


 


Unsecured, priority debts, or most often referred to as "priority" debts-- include income taxes more than three years old, newer income taxes in certain cases, child support and other types of domestic support obligations.  Student loans even though non-dischargeable aren't classified as priority debts.


 


Unsecured, non-priority debts are typically thought of as "unsecured" debts.  The most common types of unsecured debts in bankruptcy cases are most credit card debts, medical bills, mortgage debts that have been foreclosed on, vehicle loan debts in the cases where the vehicle has been repossessed and sold, and student loans.  Student loans, as stated, are a non-dischargeable unsecured debt.
