    A very unusual situation -

    Thank you, first of all, and very sincerely, for taking the time to read and respond to this post.

    Let us say that an individual who has a very large sum of debt attributed to his name (in the form of revolving credits accounts, student loans, an auto loan, personal loans, and federal and state taxes) decides to file bankruptcy, with the intention of never working again. This individual has plans to commit to, for lack of a better term, a "religious life of service," similar to joining a monastery, and intends to extricate himself from the marketplace completely, never dealing directly with money again.

    In such a scenario, is a full discharge of all debts--including those (i.e., student loans, taxes, and personal loans) that are not normally discharged under normal circumstances--ever granted, or even a legal possibility?

    If a full discharge is not granted, meaning that the student loans, taxes, and personal loans are still considered active debts, what happens after the bankruptcy case is closed? If the individual keeps to his word and never does enter the marketplace again, living without any direct contact with money, what happens to those debts?

    Please, serious replies only. This is not an exaggerated, purely hypothetical scenario. If you do not have an answer or a resource to direct me to, please do not respond.

    Many sincere thanks!

    if the person has no assets and makes no money, there's not much the creditors can do, even the student loan debts I believe. Not as sure about the IRS, I know you can go to jail for income tax evasion (as well as for not paying child support) but am not sure if just owing taxes can land you in jail, I think you have to do criminal acts to try to evade paying, but am not 100% sure so don't take my word on that. You didn't mention child support arrears, but that is something you can definitely go to jail for, regardless of why you are earning no money.

      The debts themselves will never go away. You're just execution proof. There is nothing they can get.

        There is no reason for you to file bankruptcy, really.

        Why bother only to have some debts remaining? If you are never going to work or have income or assets, there's nothing anyone can do to collect. Go live your new life and be content. I'm envious of your plan...

          Here! Here! I agree!! The only reason I had to file is to protect what few things I do have; paycheck, automobile, house....otherwise....I am also envious of your plan!!
