Can you file bankruptcy on student loans?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Thomas Corcoran Phipps (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Thomas Corcoran Phipps
When you file a bankruptcy, you have to list all creditors and debts. The student loans are not dischargeable unless continuing to pay them would be a hardship on the debtor. Unless you are unable to work or pay any amount on the student loans, you will most likely still be liable even if you complete a bankruptcy.

What can I do to reach a debt settlement?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Bijal Mahesh Jani (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Bijal Jani
You can contact the creditor and try to enter into a settlement of the debt. However, prior to doing so, you should have a clear idea as to how much and the time frame within which you can pay the judgment. You can also seek the assistance of an attorney for further assistance.

Answered by attorney Andrea Winters Morelos (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Morelos Law Firm
Did he die with or without a will? The will would determine who the executor is to handle the estate, which includes dealing with any debts of the deceased. If no will, then she or someone still needs to go to the court house to open a file and the Clerk will appoint an Administrator (basically the same thing as an Executor just a different name since no will), and it might very well be her since she is the spouse. But in either scenario, if she did not sign the promissory note on the mortgage, then she is not personally liable for it and the Lender cannot legally go after her, though they may try (either because they thought she was on it, don't know the laws, or are intentionally trying to ignore the laws and she would want to get an attorney to help respond if the Lender came after her). That being said, if she were interested in keeping the house, then the mortgage would need to be kept up because the Lender would not expect her to live there for free so they would then likely want her to assume the loan or refinance one in her own name. Is she not going to try to sell it? In which case, the mortgage would just be paid off through the proceeds and then she could keep the remaining money, if any. She should consult with an attorney to discuss her property rights as well as going is going on with handling the estate.
