The Desert Lamp has a great post explaining exactly what HB 2675 does. Don't believe the hype that it will increase tuition. This bill would not dictate that tuition go up $2,000 per year (though it nearly has before, and few were so indignant). This bill, if passed without amendment, would dictate that at least $2,000 per year of each student’s full tuition came from a source other than the

What can you do with student loans when filing bankruptcy?

2012-01-20T20:25:00.000-07:00

Generally student loans are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. However, there are some exceptions. If you can show "undue hardship" you can get them discharged in the bankruptcy. Most courts follow the test from the NY Brunner case (831 F.2d 395). Brunner is a three-part test where you must prove: 1. That the debtor cannot both repay the student loan and maintain a minimal standard of living; 2.

What should you look for in a bankruptcy attorney?

When selecting a bankruptcy attorney, not all are equal. The costs especially can be very different. Look for an attorney who discloses all of their fees and costs upfront. Some attorneys will not disclose their costs and fees on their website, but when you go in for a consultation you will find out they are much higher than the competition.
