Can you bankrupt an Unsubsidized student loan?
In theory yes- student loans can be discharged. In practice- it is extremely rare. The only examples i have seen where a student loan is discharged is when the borrower is paralyzed, have a severe neurological disorder, or has been diagnosed with an end stage illness and are therefore unable to work. A discharge of student loans is so rare that most attorneys flat out tell potential clients that student loans are not dischargeable. I'm not sure what you mean by "unsubsidized" - I know what it means - I'm not sure you do! A government backed (that doesn't mean subsidized) student loan cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. If it isn't government backed, it is simply a personal loan you used to pay for education and may be discharged like any other. Additionally, you do not bankrupt "a loan"...you go bankrupt - it includes all things you own and owe. Nothing is excluded. Some things may not be discharged.
