Bankruptcy and Student Loans: What You Need to Know

If you are able to prove that the loan payments cause extreme financial hardship for you and your dependents, the government may forgive the loan. You would be required to prove to the courts that you are unable to pay back the student loan.

  • To prove financial hardship and file for relief, a debtor must:
  • Be physically unable to work
  • Be unable to make an income sufficient to make payments
  • File a lawsuit against the student loan company

If you are unable to prove undue hardship, you can also include some or all of your student loans in your Chapter 13 repayment plan.

Whether you are seeking complete loan forgiveness, loan consolidation, or a student loan grace period, we have the knowledge and resources to help you make the most informed decisions based on your debt and your income potential.

Commonly Asked Questions

How can I prove financial hardship for student loan relief?

You must demonstrate that your current financial situation prevents you from making payments. This typically involves showing that you are unable to work due to physical limitations or that your income is insufficient to cover your living expenses and loan payments. Documentation such as income statements, medical records, and a detailed budget can support your claim.

Can I consolidate my student loans in Cleveland?

Yes, you can consolidate your student loans in Cleveland. Loan consolidation allows you to combine multiple federal student loans into a single loan, which can simplify your payments and potentially lower your monthly payment amount. However, it's important to understand the terms and conditions of consolidation, as it may affect your interest rates and repayment options.
