How do I wipe a student loan off my record?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jeffrey Pat Heineman (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Heineman Law Office
You must file a bankruptcy, and then file an adversary proceeding, based on that bankruptcy, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Case law on this issue has created a test to evaluate whether your loan can be eliminated or possibly reduced. The test is a little complicated, and it takes into account your current situation, your future income potential, your age, your health, your cost of living, etc.. In short, it evaluates everything. To fight this matter can be expensive. The attorney fees will likely exceed $10,000.00, and very possibly much more. Student loan companies fight these matters to the bitter end, usually. The last one I assisted on had legal fees of over $20,000.

Given your unemployed status you might qualify for the hardship exception to the normal NON-dischargeability of student loans.

My wife co-signed for her mother on a bank credit card. Now married, my mother is filing bankruptcy. Will my wife be paying?

Since your wife co-signed and she is not filing for bankruptcy the answer is yes. She would still be obligated to repay the debt. If your wife's relatives receive a bankruptcy discharge they will no longer be obligated but that does not relieve your wife from her obligations to repay the debt.
