Re: bankruptcy on court fines and costs

The general answer is 'yes', but it still depends on the type of fines they are. Generally, unpaid traffic fines, etc. can be eliminated in bankruptcy. But you must know that you cannot pick and choose the debts you wish to eliminate. Bankruptcy is an all or nothing proceeding. You must list ALL of your debts and ALL of your assets.
