Steps

  1. Determine if you are eligible to file for bankruptcy. Student loans are only automatically discharged if the student has been out of school for more than 10 years. If your loans are less than 10 years old, bankruptcy is only possible if you have a significant amount of other debts that you want to clear, in order to continue to service your student loan.
  2. Consider a repayment plan. Contact student loans and arrange a payment plan that is more affordable for you. If student loans don?t go for this idea, you could also contact a licensed credit counselor in your area to negotiate on your behalf.
  3. Consider a consumer proposal. Consumer proposals have proven to be a successful alternative for many debtors. If your loans are at least five years old, you should have a good chance of success. Furthermore, the proposal period is generally five years, so at the end of the term your loan will be over 10 years old. To qualify for a consumer proposal you must be working, or have a stable income from some other source.
  4. Contact a Bankruptcy trustee/attorney. A licensed bankruptcy trustee can review your personal situation, and help you determine the best possible alternative for you individual needs.

Tips

  • To find a bankruptcy trustee or attorney in your area. Visit www.bankruptcy-america.com, or www.bankruptcy-canada.ca or
  • visit www.nacba.org/ or your local legal aid society.

Warnings

  • Check first with your physician as you may be eligible to cancel your student loan debt by a declaration of total and permanent disability. This would be less expensive than bankruptcy.
