Student Debt and Bankruptcy
A San Francisco Bankruptcy attorney on Student Debt and Bankruptcy
Most assume that student loans are not dischargeable in Bankruptcy. There are, however, exceptional circumstances where student loan debt may be discharged. Consequently, while difficult, bankruptcy can be an avenue to eliminate student loan debt!
Specifically, federal bankruptcy courts have established a three part test. A debtor must show: 1) based on current income and expenses the debtor cannot maintain a minimal standard of living for the debtor and debtor’s dependent(s) if forced to repay the loan; and 2) additional circumstances exist indicating that this state of affairs is likely to persist for a significant portion of the repayment period; and 3) the debtor has made a good faith effort to repay the student loan.
Do you fall into this category? Do you have exceptional circumstances? Than you may possibly qualify to discharge your student loan debt!
