17    The post-judgment, pre-bankruptcy collection costs might also receive non-dischargeable  treatment for the same reason but for two factors that are specific to this case. The Default  Judgment addresses multiple obligations, but the prior discussion concluded there is no evidence  the contract damages for faulty construction work is non-dischargeable.See supra at Section  IV.D.2.a. Like the damages for attorney fees in the Default Judgment, the Plaintiff’s failure to  break out these legal fees between dischargeable and non-dischargeable debt taints the entire  damages claim.Id.  The Plaintiff also unilaterally directed all collection amounts to debt that this Opinion does  not find non-dischargeable. [Adversary Complaint, ECF No. 1 at ¶ 28.  3] This benefits the  Plaintiff because a higher amount is due on the non-dischargeable debt if no collections are  allocated. If the Plaintiff’s allocation is accepted, the Plaintiff must accept the consequence that  none of the related attorney fees are associated with the non-dischargeable debt. Handling the  allocation in this manner comports with the strict construction of dischargeability exceptions.  For avoidance of doubt, reasonable additional attorney fees incurred to complete this  adversary proceeding from September 21, 2016, are also non-dischargeable.  V.  CONCLUSION  The foregoing constitutes the Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law. In reaching the  conclusions found herein, the Court has considered all of the evidence, exhibits, and arguments  of counsel, regardless of whether or not they are specifically referred to in this decision. A  separate Order shall be entered accordingly.   3 The Defendant’s answer admits and denies parts of paragraph 28 of the Complaint, but does not provide further explanation. [Answer, ECF No. 5.] The Joint Stipulations indicate the Defendant agrees $55,978.02 was collected, but nothing more.
