Re: My Mom owes a Student loan

Your mom would have to file a chapter 13 case and slowly repay her student loan over 5 years. There is a very small chance she could petition the bankruptcy court and try to show that she is never going to be able to pay back this debt. HOWEVER THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT TO WIN. The bankruptcy laws have been changed over several years and now it is very difficult to wipe out a student loan in bankruptcy. If your mom lives in Nebraska I can help her. I am a graduate of the University of Nebraska College of Law. Please feel free to call me to discuss this at (800) 303-0720
