Are private student loans dischargeable in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy or is 13 better?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Private student loans cannot be discharged in any form of bankruptcy unless there is a trial in which the student proves that s/he is eligible to discharge the debt because of an "undue hardship." The box that is checked concerning the debt is for statistical purposes only and is otherwise meaningless. If a lawyer is promising that student loan debts can be removed from your credit report, run out of the office as fast as you can!

Hi. I am writing because I am in the process of buying a home and the seller filed for bankruptcy. How long does that normally take?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Howard E. Knispel, P.C.
That depends on the type of bankrupcty. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy, under normal circumstances can take 3-4 months. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy normally can take up to 5 years, but you can purchase the property while it is pending, with permission of the bankruptcy judge.

Is this a good time to file Chapter 7?

Answered by attorney Edward M Olson (Unclaimed Profile)

There is not enough information here to make a recommendation. Bankruptcy is intended to provide the honest but unlucky debtor a "fresh start", financially speaking. You need to speak with a bankruptcy attorney and go over ALL of your finances before you decide to file or wait. Most will provide a half hour free consultation to see if Bankruptcy is appropriate for your situation.
