Private loans, which are not made or backed by the government, are more difficult to deal with, but there are solutions for those, too.
To be clear, it is extremely difficult to almost impossible to get student loan debt wiped out without paying anything at all or without entering a payment program. However, you can reduce your student loan payments to make them affordable.
For example:
- Bankruptcy will not discharge this debt without a showing of severe hardship;
- In order to get a hardship discharge, you must be in an extremely bad financial situation; and
- You must show that that condition is likely to continue indefinitely.
