Can I Discharge Traffic Tickets in Bankruptcy?

Quote:
This is probably one of the common questions I receive from potential bankruptcy clients. And the short-answer is no, you cannot discharge traffic tickets in bankruptcy. This is what you will generally find in the “FAQ” section of many bankruptcy attorneys’ websites. However, there is a little more to it than that.

That short-answer really applies to Chapter 7 bankruptcy in particular. Under Chapter 7, traffic tickets are non-dischargeable under Section 523(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, which specifically states that fines and penalties owed to and for the benefit of governmental units are non-dischargeable. This includes traffic tickets and other criminal (or punitive) fines.
