eliminate certain types of debt.
Explanation: Bankruptcy (e.g., Chapter 7) can discharge many unsecured debts so the consumer is no longer legally required to pay them. It does impose an automatic stay that halts most collection actions temporarily, but it is not simply a way to "stop paying" debts. Bankruptcy damages credit and does not make it easy to reestablish good credit or obtain emergency credit immediately.
