Although bankruptcy is a genuine path to get out of debt, it leaves a long lasting scar, and comes at a high price financially and emotionally. The financial impact is severe; a bankruptcy will stay on your credit report for 7-10 years. You shouldn't consider bankruptcy as a simple "quick fix" to all of your financial difficulties, but rather as one of the many available solutions you may have given your individual situation. In October 2005, new congressional legislation made filing for bankruptcy more difficult and burdensome. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy could result in higher monthly payments and may last longer than an alternative debt resolution program. If you have questions about bankruptcy or are considering it as an option, we advise you to speak directly to an experienced bankruptcy attorney licensed in your state.

Can you file bankruptcy on Sally Mae student loan?

No. Under no bankruptcy scheme will student loan obligations be dischargeable. Rather, they will remain with you until they are paid off and just because you have filed for bankruptcy does not mean that the loan interest rates will stop either. This is a debt you should attend to as soon as you can and if it is a major reason for your filing for bankruptcy then I urge you to reconsider and speak with an attorney first.
