Finance Q&A

I have an Student Loan Question,please help me.

Edwards Finance > Student Loan

Q. Can anyone tell me, or find a link about not paying your student loan...EVER!!! I know that filing bankrupt doesn't cover it anymore, BUT, there must be a way out of a mortgage payment for a 2 family loan situation. For those who are thinking -- PAY IT -- this family is unable to do that at this point. They are wondering if they wait ten years, 15 years 50 yrs will this ever just get written off?? I would like you to support your yes or no answer with a link to where you got your info please, these people are very dear friends of mine and I want to check everything out for them (no internet access at their place) Their loans are about 23,000 and 31,000 (husband & wife), they pay rent, have a child (and one on the way) and total mthly gross income is about 3000.00 (I'm guess-timating)

A. -www.canadastudentdebt.ca should have the info i'm sure somone has asked the same question or is in the same situation. You should find it here, if not ask and you will get an answer. -I hope to God that student loans are never written off. Why the hell should I pay for 11 years and someone else should have theirs forgiven? They can probably arrange to have their payments lowered and extend the amortization period -I certainly hope student loans can't be so easily written off...otherwise every second kid will be going into university looking to jack up $30,000 in debt hoping to write it off. Problem is today's kids see the loans as 'free money' and spend, spend, spend. (I know one 30 year old with a B.A. and $40,000 in debt...and she lived at home....ridiculous!!!) I got my education and did it by working while studying. I graduated without owing a single cent (and living in another province). If I can do it, there's no reason someone should be in so much debt that they can't afford a payment. My tax dollars should not support their lack of foresight. If they're in such dire straits....it's time for backruptcy.
