Memorize FAT WED (Fraud, Alimony, Taxes, Willful injury, Educational loans, Debts undisclosed). Credit cards are dischargeable unless incurred fraudulently or very recently for luxuries.

Full Answer

C.Credit card debt incurred 2 years ago for luxury goods.✓ Correct

Credit card debt incurred 2 years ago for luxury goods.

Credit card debt is general unsecured debt and is dischargeable unless it falls under the specific exception for luxury goods purchased shortly before filing (presumption of fraud). 2 years ago is well outside that window.

Common mistakes

Assuming 'luxury goods' makes it automatically non-dischargeable regardless of timing.
