Section 523(a)(2)(A): False Pretenses

Section 523(a)(2)(A) excepts for discharge any debt for money to the extent obtained by false pretenses. A creditor must show that the debtor’s actions were purposefully deceptive or misleading. Courts infer requirements establishing intent, reliance and materiality.



To provide that a debtor acted by false pretenses, the objecting creditor must show the following: (1) an implied misrepresentation or conduct by the debtor; (2) promoted knowingly and willingly by debtor; (3) to create a contrived and misleading understanding of the transaction on the part of the objecting creditor; and (4) which wrongfully induced plaintiff to advance money, property, or credit to the debtor. The frauds covered by this concept are those which in fact involve moral turpitude or intentional wrong.

  3. Can I speak to ex If I have a non-molestation order?
    If there is a solicitor defending a non molestation order in place, it's unlikely that you will be able to address these issues without legal representation, as the order will prohibit contact between you and your ex.
