Discharge

A bankruptcy court order which eliminates the legal obligation to repay an obligation.  A person who has received a bankruptcy discharge of debt is shielded from any attempt to collect it from him or her but may choose to voluntarily repay a debt.

What debts may or may not be discharged depends on your situation and the type of bankruptcy relief you pursue.
