Yes, you can get your credit card debt discharged by filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy. You can also include your credit card debt in your repayment plan if you file Chapter 13. At the conclusion of your repayment period, all penalties and interest that would have otherwise accumulated will be discharged. Once your debt is discharged, under either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, credit card companies will have no further claim for repayment.

Credit card debt is commonly known as revolving, or unsecured debt. It means that the credit card companies are lending you the money to make day-to-day purchases, with no security interest on the items you purchased. When you file for bankruptcy, your creditors may, however, look over your list of purchases, searching for big-ticket items that they feel should be considered an asset to be liquidated for repayment. Typically, however, credit card debt is discharged without consideration by creditors unless it can be shown that you increased your debt amount on one card by more than $550 within the previous 90 days of filing. This is to prevent a debtor from running up additional credit card debt on the eve of filing for bankruptcy.
