Wonderful work, Rohan! I love it when tech and charity come together like this.
My questions:
1) Is there any assistance that your service can provide to students who have student loan debt, particularly those from predatory private institutions?
2) Have you had any conversations with the group, RIP Medical Debt? They have a similar goal of helping those in need, they've abolished $120 million in medical debt for about 60,000 Americans(https://www.ripmedicaldebt.org/about/ https://www.ripmedicaldebt.org/about/). I think it would be great for you to connect, even if it's just to be on each other's radar.
- rpavuluri 8y agoThank you :) (1) Sadly, we're not able to assist people who want to discharge their student debt through bankruptcy. If that's the case, we suggest our users seek full-representation. (2) I've spoken to the co-founder of RIP Medical Debt! They're doing awesome work I admire. Thanks for the tip.
- mark212 8y agoIt's exceptionally difficult to discharge student loan debt in bankruptcy. Rare to even have someone try, quite honestly, given the state of the caselaw at this point. Basically have to be fully and permanently disabled to even have a shot at it.
