How do I wipe a student loan off my record?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
The bankruptcy law doesn't allow you to discharge a debt because you don't think that the debt is fair. To discharge a student loan typically requires that you show that you are unable to work to ever be able to pay for this loan. Unless you are seriously disabled, it will be difficult to meet that criteria. I would suggest meeting with a bankruptcy attorney that specializes in this field, as this is a difficult and expensive task to accomplish.

Is this a good time to file Chapter 7?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Debt Relief Law Center
This could be a very good time to file Chapter 7, usually better to file while unemployed if possible. Hopefully you do not have too much equity in your home.

If it legal for the bank to make my co-signer cover our loan after I filed bankruptcy and why?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kathryn Ursula Tokarska (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Kathryn Tokarska
Yes it is legal. When a person agrees to co-sign on a debt, they agree to be responsible for re-payment of that debt. If the loan is not paid by one party, the creditor can seek payment from the other. If you received a discharge in BK but the co-signor hasn't joined you as a spouse in your BK or filed their own BK and received a discharge, the co-signor's obligation remains post your BK. In other words, your BK protection doesn't extent do other people who agreed by contract to be responsible for repayment.
