"Can I discharge my student loans in bankruptcy?"
Student loans generally are not dischargeable in bankruptcy and cannot be eliminated. They are only dischargeable if you can prove that an "undue hardship" exists that will permanently keep you from paying your student loan debt. To prove an undue hardship, typically a disability that keeps you from working, you must file a separate case before the bankruptcy court and present the facts to a judge, who will then determine whether or not the loans should be discharged.
Even if you cannot discharge your student loans, filing for bankruptcy can relieve your financial burden. Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy can restructure your student loans into a more manageable payment plan, consolidated with the rest of your debts, and give you financial relief that you can afford. Our experienced bankruptcy lawyers can help you explore your debt relief options, to help you discharge the debts you can, and make the others easier to pay down.
