Student Loan from 1985
What should I do? I have a student loan that started out as $10,000 but has accumulated interest and fees bringing it to over $33,000. I was not able to make any payments following graduation in 1985 being a single mom and working min. wage jobs. I did make payments when I had extra income. I am now an unemployed, 61 yr old woman and I would like to know my options – bankruptcy or loan forgiveness (if possible) Thanks

I would recommend you sit down with a local trustee as most loan forgiveness programs require that you have been acting in good faith and making some payments on the debt. But contact a local trustee and they will advise you directly.
