Question # 5:
Can I get rid of student loans in bankruptcy?
You may have heard that student loans cannot be wiped out
in bankruptcy. That is not always true. You may be able to
wide out student loans under bankruptcy.
If your case involves student
loans it may be very tricky and may be non-dischargeable unless
you can prove hardship. You should talk to an attorney about
whether your student loans might be wiped out in a chapter 7
bankruptcy.
By an act of the United States Congress,
I am a debt relief agent helping people file for bankruptcy and/or
protecting them from collection agency harassment. The determination of the need for legal services, or
debt relief services, and the choice of a lawyer are extremely
important decisions and should not be based solely upon advertisements. Law changes from place to place and time
to time. This website is not and is not intended to be an
advertisement outside the state of California. This website is helpful, but is not meant to be legal advice.
Thus, it is not a substitute for meeting with an attorney and
obtaining specific legal advice. No
attorney client relationship has or will be established with Attorney
Ronald Wilcox unless and until a written retainer agreement has been
executed. Ronald Wilcox is admitted in California.
For the most part, this web site only discusses chapter 7 bankruptcy. When the word
"bankruptcy" is used in this web site, it is only referring to chapter
7 bankruptcy. There are other chapters of bankruptcy. These other
chapters may be better for you depending on your particular
circumstances. The chapter you choose to file has many consequences.
To determine which chapter is best in your situation, you should speak
with a qualified bankruptcy attorney.
