I’d Like to Get Rid of My Student Loan Payments With Bankruptcy. – Nancy

by

“Dear Steve,

I will never be able to pay my sallie mae student loan because of hardship. I am a single mother of two living check to check. I want to see how I can have my student loan discharged? Can I file bankruptcy myself?

Nancy”

Dear Nancy,

It is very difficult to get student loans discharged with bankruptcy. Generally consumers file either a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy but discharging student loans in bankruptcy due to hardship requires a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Not for the faint of heart or inexperienced.

So the answer is that it might be possible to eliminate your student loans with a special bankruptcy but it will require special and experienced assistance if you’ve got a shot at it.

Please read this previous question about discharging your student loans with bankruptcy – “I Can’t Pay Sallie Mae – Carlos.”

  2. That’s not true. If you open a Delaware LLC and appoint a few close friends or relatives to work with you, from my understanding you can have a checking account. If that’s too difficult, or risky, you can also get a pre-paid debit card, which is like a checking account. You get a routing number to pay your bills online. I hope that helps.

    You should look into getting an LLC established and structured properly as I am certain there are people who do this to protect their assets. With knowledge comes power!

  3. Ha! The sharks have jacked my student loans from $104,000 to $1.75 million +. Go figure that out!

    At 64, leaving the US or staying and having them garnish 25% of my Social Security are my choices. I can never own anything, not even a checking account..they will snatch it.

    This is what I went to school for? I am barred from my profession because I am behind on the loans.

    What a country! Freedom and liberty for all!
