this is not exactly true by the way. with the new bankruptcy laws in place you may not qualify for a total forgiveness of debt if you make more than your state's median income. you have to take a test first (its on the DOT website) to see if you qualify for the chapter 7 bankruptcy total elimination.

you can thank the Repubs and the credit card companies for that one. Jerks.
