Student Loans- Hardship Discharge is Hard to Get

When the Code was changed back in the late 1970’s, a debtor could discharge a student loan if there was a hardship situation or if loan payments were due more than 5 years before the filing. Now, a debtor can only get a hardship discharge. I tell all my clients that you have to be in pretty bad shape with little or no prospects for a decent living to get a hardship discharge . Even then, it was iffy.
