Student Loans

I am considering going the bankruptcy route due to debt accumulated from a divorce and a layoff from my job. I went back to school, but I am struggling financially. I have two questions. First, can I file for bankruptcy to zero all my other debt, but still keep the student loans I already have? […]

I have federal and Nova Scotia student loans in default. I am self-employed in my area of study. I filed for bankruptcy in 2013 to cover an enormous amount of student related debt on a Professional Student line of credit and credit cards but was only out of school for two years so student loans […]

Hi There, I am on a second proposal which was started in Dec of 2014. Prior to that I was on a proposal from Sept 2010. Both proposals included my student loan however it survived the first one, but will not survive the second as I have been out of school for more then 7 […]

When I initially finished my undergrad I didn’t find work right away and took advantage of the repayment assistance program (through OSAP) for my student loan. I am told […]

I received osap for college in 1994(?) and did not graduate in 96 as I gave birth. Since then I haven’t paid anything. I am currently on ODSP for Crohn’s disease and am a volunteer community advocate. I’m wondering if these loans ever ‘go away’; how I inquire about them without getting them after me […]

I graduated from university in April 2013 and was told that my 12 month payment free period would be over in November. I tried arguing many times that I graduated in April and not November as their records indicated and was told to apply for the repayment assistance program, but that they wouldn’t change the […]

Hello I graduated in 2008 and was filling out the Edulinx form b for interest relief every 6 months, then, through a clerical mistake and nightmare in 2011 I was not eligible as they said they did not receive my forms—I have copies of everything being faxed, but finally gave up trying to solve the […]
