Since the debt is on your mother's credit card, it's her debt not yours. You can't have another person's debts discharged in your bankruptcy.

If you used your mother's credit card to pay a bill, she is responsible for the debt. You can discharge the obligation you have to her, but you cannot discharge her obligation to pay the creditor.

You don't owe a debt on your mother's credit card, she does. You can file a bankruptcy and not owe you mom, but that might cause some strain in your relationship. Your mom can file a bankruptcy on her own credit car if she otherwise qualifies for bankruptcy.

Only the people on the credit card can file BK.
