I need some advice abuot new Washington State Bankruptcy Law?

Edwards Finance > Bankruptcy

Q. I talked to one of creditors on the phone. He was collecting for a medical debt. He said that under the new Washington Bankruptcy Law passed by congress I could no longer discharge this debt because it was involved needed medical services. He sounded convincing. However I doubt this for several reasons. For one thing what I think he is referring to the new law passed in March. That is not even signed into law yet. Even if it were signed into law most provisions of it would take six months to come into effect. Still I think there is at least a logical possibility that the law has changed. Has it? Is there any change in the way medical expenses can be discharged by bankruptcy in the past few months

A. -1. The new bankruptcy bill has not passed Congress (although it is likely that Senate conferees will be named next week). 2. The bill contains no special provisions regarding medical bills. - This response is for discussion purposes only. It isn't meant to be legal advice and you shouldn't treat it as such. If you want legal advice, speak with a local lawyer familiar with your state's laws who can review *all* of the facts and the law applicable to your situation.
