Student Loan Debt

Unfortunately, student loan debt is considered nondischargeable debt under the law. In rare exceptions, individuals may get rid of their debt if they are injured and the judge rules that their student loan debt is a proven hardship. However, even if your injury is grave, your hardship is subjective.

Handling Student Loan Debt

There are other ways to deal with student loan debt.

  • Chapter 13 bankruptcy: As part of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can reorganize your nondischargeable debt. However, you still have to pay 100 percent of your nondischargeable debt under this option.
  • Various payment options: Student loan lenders offer various loan repayment options. Some are based on income and others extend the life of the loan.
  • Public service loan forgiveness: There are a number of jobs that allow for some public service loan forgiveness. If you work in one of these jobs and pay your loan payment without deferring for 120 consecutive payments, you may be able to have all or part of your debt forgiven.
  • Extreme hardship: If you are able to prove a certain threshold of hardship you may be able to get rid of student loan debt completely.

Testimonials

I couldn't have prayed for a better law firm than Sulaiman Law Group. I found your team to be congenial, professional and consistently available throughout the process. I only wish I had found you sooner. I will highly recommend your firm to any and everyone!

Wow. An honest, ethical attorney who actually cares about people. I know, how can that be. Well, you need to talk to Ahmad Sulaiman to find out.

He has literally saved my life; and, that is not a metaphor. His office has fought for me where few firms in the country could have had any success; and, I am able to look forward with some hope.

You can be certain that, if you are not an attorney, whatever you THINK you know about the law, you are probably GUARANTEED to be completely wrong in your assessment. Consult with an attorney who actually cares, tempered with being brilliant.

I could not be in better hands; and, words do not describe how differently my life would have been had I not met Ahmad Sulaiman. It was literally an answer to a prayer. By Glen S

Ahmad is a real gem in the legal profession. I strongly recommend him.

Mr. Mohammed Badwan is an excellent, sincere and knowledgeable attorney. He is always on top of negotiations with creditors and gets back to you promptly to give you any updates.. He makes you feel very comfortable and stays with you as a good legal advisor through the entire process.

As a healthcare professional and business owner myself, I am very sensitive to the minute details with the quality of overall service- work ethics, professionalism and the team effort put in to achieve client's goals and satisfaction. I will give this group an A+ and wish them success and bright future. Keep up the good work....
