I have a Michigan judgment against me for what the court called “equitable fraud.” The judgment came from a real-estate transaction in NJ involving allegations that I failed to disclose material information about the property.
I’m considering filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 and I’m trying to figure out whether this judgment could be discharged.
Does the fact that the judgment is specifically based on equitable fraud, rather than common-law/actual fraud, generally make it dischargeable? Or can the bankruptcy court look at the underlying findings and determine that it qualifies as non dischargeable?
Would the answer be different under Chapter 13?
