Making educational loans dischargeable in bankruptcy sounds reasonable on the surface but it problematic when you consider that a newly minted college graduate basically has no assets. Allowing the loan to be dischargeable would encourage graduates to immediately declare bankruptcy to get rid of their student loans. Not sure what the solution is there other than not making the risky loan in the first place.
- aperrien 8y agoMaybe make that type of debt dischargeable in 14 years, rather than 7? Or maybe make the clock on bankruptcy start ticking directly after graduation?
- nickthemagicman 8y agoThat's how it used to be actually.
- duxup 8y agoYeah for a college graduate bankruptcy would seem like a pretty quick solution.
