Take Control Of Your Student Loans

Student loans are incredibly common in the United States, including loans so crushingly heavy that their recipients must consider filing bankruptcy. Although the federal government has provided some methods of relief, you may find that you need an attorney’s help to understand your options and protect your rights.

Cunningham, Chernicoff & Warshawsky, P.C., can help you. Since 1978, we have helped people of all backgrounds throughout central Pennsylvania manage, reduce or discharge their debts through bankruptcy and other solutions. Our bankruptcy attorneys care deeply about helping you get your student loans under control so you can thrive financially.

Can I Get Rid Of My Loans Through Bankruptcy?

The Bankruptcy Code only allows you to discharge student loans in limited circumstances. You may qualify if you have federal student loans and repaying them would create undue financial hardship for you and your dependents. If so, you can file a type of legal action called an adversary proceeding. If the bankruptcy court grants your request, it will halt collections and discharge the full amount of your federal student loans. When you get in touch with us and provide more details, our lawyers will determine whether you qualify for bankruptcy.

Exploring All Methods Of Relief

If you are not eligible to discharge your student loans through bankruptcy, we can help you explore other options for managing them. These can include:

Sometimes, student loans force people to go into other kinds of debt just to stay afloat. In some cases, Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 may be the right options for you to discharge other debts so you can focus on repaying your student loans. An experienced, caring bankruptcy attorney can help you.
