Get Discharge Of Debt - Freedom School

Your loan can be discharged only under specific circumstances, such as school closure, a school's false certification of your eligibility to receive a loan, a school's failure to pay a required loan refund, or because of total and permanent disability, bankruptcy, or death.

Those who have been on repayment plans, hold federal direct loans or federal family education loans and have completed 20 or 25 years of qualifying months are eligible for forgiveness, depending on when the loans were originated, the type of loan borrowed and the specific type of plan.

You may have your federal student loan discharged in bankruptcy only if you file a separate action, known as an "adversary proceeding," requesting the bankruptcy court find that repayment would impose undue hardship on you and your dependents.

Although this closed school loan discharge is granted automatically after one year has passed since your school's closure, you can always apply for and receive a closed school discharge as soon as your school's official closure date is confirmed by the U.S. Department of Education.

Who is this for? Federal and private student loan borrowers who have declared bankruptcy. Unlike other types of debt, the courts rarely discharge student loans through bankruptcy. But in extreme cases of “undue hardship,” declaring bankruptcy will wipe out some or all of your student debt.

How do I know if my student loans are forgiven? If you qualify for loan forgiveness under PSLF, Teacher Loan Forgiveness or IDR discharge, the loan servicer or Department of Education will send you a notification letter. Depending on your account settings, you may receive the letter electronically or via mail.

you no longer have further obligation to repay the loan, you will receive a reimbursement of payments made voluntarily or through forced collection, and. the discharge will be reported to credit bureaus to delete any adverse credit history associated with the loan.

Cancellation options are available. Borrowers who work at qualifying employers such as non-profits or government agencies may be eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Cancellation is also available for borrowers with total and permanent disabilities.
