Question: I’m an attorney with over $200,000 in federal student loan debt, and I desperately want to file for bankruptcy on these loans. I’m on an income-driven repayment plan and would like my student loans to be forgiven or eliminated, if that option is available to me. Can you please help?

A bit of amusement for people dealing with a very troubled world. Try paying your debts. It would do you good.

Feel free to file bankruptcy, but you’ll still have the Student Loans hanging over you.

No. You ran up the bill, now pay it.

You are an attorney, you know what a contract is. Honor it.

Did you sign your name on the loans and do little to nothing to earn money comparable to the price of tuition as you sought an education? Did you party in college?

Things like that?

Screw you, then. Pay up and shut up.

3. Sell all the crap
4. Get rid of cable & streaming
5. Snowball the debts - smallest first

Must be an attorney from Washington DC. It’s not like lawyers make minimum wage.

A typical free loader. /spit

“would like my student loans to be forgiven or eliminated”

...as my Mom used to say, “people in hell want ice water”. I have a car payment, a house payment and a VISA bill. I pay them on time each month but I would like my loans to be forgiven or eliminated. Thank you.

His response to this would be what? “I’m a lawyer and I help people. Your car payment doesn’t”?! I don’t understand how people can be so clueless.

Gee...wouldn’t everyone like their debt to be eliminated or forgiven? Free money should be a human right.
