Well, first of all, there are in America two main kinds of bankruptcy : the one in chapter 7 and the one in chapter 13.

The first one is the worst as a means of legally cancelling debt. All your non-exempt assets are liquidated and the proceedings go to paying off your debts to the max. extent possible. Also, this kind of bankruptcy will remain in your credit report for the next ten years, which will in fact kill it for a decade.

In this kind of legal debt elimination method, however, all your debts will be eliminated - except for what you owe the IRS -.

Bankruptcy referred to in Chapter 13, on the other hand, is also known as reorganization. In this case of debt elimination, all collection actions are stopped and new ones are prohibited for a 5 year period. The amount you owe remains at current levels and you design a court approved payment plan through which most of the debt is repayed to creditors.
