How do I wipe a student loan off my record?

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.

Does a confirmed Chapter 13 stop any creditor on the petition from filing a complaint for fraud for the same debt with the Department of Insurance?

Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
You need an attorney, and the correct place for the fraud protest should have been in an adversary action in the bankruptcy, The fact that it was not made in that proceeding would generally be a defense and preclude any other action in any other forum for the debt. I would need the details, however, to render a firm opinion.

When filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy schedule J, if your monthly debt exceeds your monthly income, what happens?

Answered by attorney Sanaz Sarah Bereliani (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Bereliani Law Firm, PC
Nothing that is good. If your monthly income was greater than your monthly expenses you wouldn't qualify for chapter 7 because you would show that you do have enough money to pay your creditors. In chapter 7 you are asking for a discharge, stating that you do not have enough income to cover your monthly expenses and also your debts.
