The most common types of debt that cannot be discharged or wiped out in a Chapter 7 are student loans, back taxes under a certain period, child support, maintenance or alimony, credit card debt that was used to pay off back taxes, accident claims where there was a determination of intoxication, debt incurred by the willful and malicious injury to another, court fines and criminal restitution and certain co-signor liability if you want to protect a co-signor on the account.
