Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Re: Fines

Thank you for your inquiry.

You didn't mention what type of fines these are, but court ordered fines can be held nondischargeable in a chapter 7 proceeding under � 523(a)(7).

If your "fines" are for something else, like private property parking fines, you will be likely able to discharge them.

I hope this answer helps, but please feel free to contact me directly if you feel you need assistance or have additional questions. You can reach me at [email protected], or toll free at 1-877-568-2977. Thanks again, and best of luck.
