Unfortunately I am not acquainted with the issues concerning the military. there could be at least a chapter 13 to stop harassment and collections with a repayment plan if not a chapter 7 which could wipe out debts.

I see no reason why any of these debts couldn't be discharged, unless you stole the equipment. See a bankruptcy lawyer. Most charge nothing for a consultation. Good luck.

All of these debts are dischargeable in bankruptcy.

Yes, it can help with both. The Star Card lien is a little bit tricky, but the bankruptcy can definitely help.

You must provide more and detailed information before an opinion can be formed. Depending on your circumstances and present income, and the amount you owe, bankruptcy my not be your preferred option, and may only cause you to have an installment payment which will pay off all of the debts while you live on a budget determined by the trustee and court of the next five years. Look long and hard before you leap.
