Yes, there is no statute of limitations on the repayment of student loans. Federal collection agencies will try to collect on the loans even into retirement. In fact, the Dept. of Ed. will garnish Social Security income for defaulted student loans.

Can a Government official come and collect on a student loan that was filed in bankruptcy over 15 years ago?

Ugh. This question is a loaded minefield. I will say this, that up until 1996, you could discharge a student loan in a bankruptcy if it was over 7 years old. Was your past student loan discharged in the past bankruptcy? It's hard to say. You need to inform them that you filed bankruptcy 15 years ago and plead your filing as an affirmative defense. You may have to re-open your old bankruptcy case and litigate the issue. Do speak to an attorney.


How do you make your first student loan payment?

You make your first student loan payment when you commence work and fill in a form for your taxes.

Depends on your credit rating, how long ago you defaulted, and how much of a down payment you plan to make. A default will stick with the credit score for 7 years.
