The new Department of Education policy changes make student loan discharge more accessible through bankruptcy.    Historically it has been extremely difficult for borrowers to prove that the loans are causing “undue hardship”, largely because the term was previously undefined and left up to an individual court’s interpretation. The Department of Education is rectifying this problem by setting clear standards by which the courts will judge each case.   To learn more about how the policy updates impact the student loan discharge process during a bankruptcy case, read our blog here or give us a call today.
