Why can't student loans be taken off in a chapter 7 bankruptcy?
If someone is declaring bankruptcy, they have no money to pay their bills. So how does the system expect the person to payback a massive student loan (ie. $53,000.00)
                     
 




feanor
That's because a bunch of students in the 80's pulled that scam and so they shut that loophole down.

They graduate with a bunch of student loans, declare bankruptcy and then the various lenders including the Federal government was left holding the bag.

Bankruptcy isn't a free-ride! So many people think that.

It isn't a way to scam your way out of debts!!!


You can pay the loans back later, it doesn't matter that you don't have the money now. You will someday.

You took the money, now you have to pay it back!

get a job and work to pay it off. Nobody would give student loans out if they could be erased by bankruptcy.

$53,000 is not massive. They give you a long time to pay them off, and at a subsidized interest rate. I know, I had them when I was younger and I paid them all off on time. They were a great deal and I hope people like you don't screw it up for the next generation by trying to get something for nothing.

I would like to think that $53,000 managed to pay for some sort of degree which could be used to get a decent job with which to pay off the $53,000 loan. Just how MUCH of a free ride do you expect here ?

Would you want everyone else to be able to write off money borrowed from the Federal Government? When federal government money is lost, borrowed, or earned it affects everyone. It is the citizens money. You would be scamming the general population out of that money,not just a credit card company.


HEATHER
Because they are backed by the government and they are not going to take a loss on it. Same thing with IRS debt, that doesn't go into bankruptcy either. Or child support.


Dewey K
Because you borrowed the money from the Feds. It's the same with certain taxes.


Christie
Student loans are never charged off in bankruptcy. This was clearly detailed in the note that you signed at the time you got the loan.

If you're ridding yourself of all other bills, surely you can afford to make good on ONE debt, can't you?


Incognito
Because they are government and government loans cannot be included in bankruptcy. That's just the way it is...


Rick
Years ago, someone wrote a book on just how to do what you are asking. I remember also, the Government closing that loop hole, after it reached epidemic proportions.
