Talk:Private student loan (United States)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There needs to be a section discussing whether private student loans in the US can ever be discharged, and if not why not. I do not believe that they can be discharged for "Total and Permanent Disability," as can federal student loans. I do not believe that they can be discharged in bankruptcy, either. Is this true? If so, there must be horror stories of blind debtors in wheelchairs and debtors on their deathbed being pursued by collection agents: this sort of undue hardship would be very important to note. rumjal 19:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
