Am I responsible for that debt even after the discharge?

Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
When did the fees accrue? It would have helped if you had indicated that vital piece of information to the volunteer lawyers trying to assist you. Once you file bankruptcy, you cannot continue to run up debt afterwards and include it in your bankruptcy. Bankruptcy isn't a free ride on paying debts for the rest of your life. In addition, if the debt was run up before you filed bankruptcy, the HOA may have filed a lien against the property which will allow them to sell the property to repay the debt.

Property rights are affected by filing bankruptcy. In chapter 7 some assets are protected and others are not. In chapter 13 the debtor retains assets. As to jointly held property the rules are complicated and an attorney specializing in bankruptcy should be consulted.

Can you file bankruptcy on student loans?

While you must list student loans on your schedule of debts, the discharge you obtain with your Chapter 7 will not discharge student loans. A debtor must file an adversary proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy Court to determine if you qualify to have part or all of your student loans discharged.
