Post subject: student loans discharge |
|
|
It's been more than 7 years since my first payment was due on my
student loan(s), and I am thinking about filing for bankruptcy and
therefore attempting to discharge my student loans also. Will the
7-year eligibility be affect by a deferment and/or consolidation in
the meantime? How will forbearance affect it?

The old 7-year rule was repealed about 6 years ago. Now, student loans can
be discharged only in cases of "undue hardship," a very difficult standard.

My student loan advisor put it this way:
"If you're hit by a car, and rendered into a permament vegitative
state,they'll probably declare "undue hardship" Other than that,
don't bank on it.

It's not quite as bad as that, but not too far off from it.
