Book excerpt: As overall student loan indebtedness in the United States has increased over the years, many borrowers have found themselves unable to repay their student loans. Ordinarily, declaring bankruptcy is a means by which a debtor may discharge-that is, obtain relief from-debts he is unable to repay. However, Congress, based upon its determination that allowing debtors to freely discharge student loans in bankruptcy could threaten the student loan program, has limited the circumstances in which a debtor may discharge a student loan. Under current law, a debtor may not discharge a student loan unless repaying the student loan would impose an "undue hardship" upon the debtor and his dependents. The Bankruptcy Code does not define "undue hardship," and the legislative history of the relevant statutory provision does not precisely specify how courts should determine whether a debtor qualifies for an undue hardship discharge. The task of interpreting this statutory term has consequently fallen to the federal judiciary. Courts, however, have disagreed regarding exactly what a debtor must prove in order to discharge a student loan on undue hardship grounds. The vast majority of courts have interpreted "undue hardship" to require the debtor to prove three things: (1) the debtor cannot maintain, based on current income and expenses, a "minimal" standard of living for himself and his dependents if forced to repay the loans; (2) additional circumstances exist indicating that the debtor's inability to pay is likely to persist for a significant portion of the repayment period of the student loans; and (3) the debtor has made good faith efforts to repay the loans. The debtor must prove each of these elements by a preponderance of the evidence. This standard is commonly called the "Brunner" test, after the case in which the standard originated. The Brunner test is highly fact-intensive, and not all courts apply the Brunner standard the same way. Indeed, each factor has resulted in various subsidiary splits in the courts with respect to a host of issues. Whereas the vast majority of courts apply the Brunner test to determine whether excepting a student loan from discharge would impose an undue hardship upon the debtor, two courts have explicitly declined to adopt the Brunner standard. Instead, these courts apply an alternative standard known as "the totality-of-the-circumstances test," weighing numerous, nonexclusive factors when considering whether student loan debt should be discharged. In response to this split of authority, as well as calls to make student loans less difficult to discharge in bankruptcy, some Members of Congress and commentators have advanced various proposals to amend or repeal the Bankruptcy Code's undue hardship provision. These proposals implicate a variety of legal issues that Congress may consider.

Book excerpt: If you heard you can't bankrupt your Student Loan Debt, it is not entirely true. There is a process called an Adversarial Proceeding. It stems from bankruptcy court decisions of Pena and Brunner to satisfy a 3-prong test. A successful adversarial proceeding discharges those unbearable student loan debts. Many people qualify for this student loan debt relief especially when circumstances change or inadequate assistance is offered by the Department of Education. In this book, I advanced pro se -- without an attorney -- through the court system to a settlement. For more clarification, in case this is a process you're considering, I've included an Adversarial Proceeding template and a couple of court opinions. These court opinions give additional insight on the court's thought process for passing the 3-prong test relating to Pena and Brunner for a successful strategy in winning your Adversarial Proceeding court case. This is an insider's journey through the court process I am sharing in the book.

Download or read book Help Or Hardship written by John P. Hunt and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A drawback of student loans is that a debtor must show “undue hardship” to discharge them in bankruptcy. An advantage of student loans is that most of them may be repaid using income-driven repayment (“IDR”) plans, under which the debtor can satisfy the obligation by paying a share of income over a specified time, even if the payments do not reduce the loan balance to zero.This Article addresses how the availability of IDR should affect the analysis of undue hardship in student-loan bankruptcy. It reviews relevant legislative history and Supreme Court precedent and draws three principal conclusions. First, the policies supporting a fresh start in bankruptcy apply to student loans, even if participating in IDR would result in an affordable payment. Second, when student loans have been in repayment for more than five years, the only policy supporting non discharge ability is that of creditor recovery. Third, IDR should make life easier for student-loan debtors, not to increase their exposure to hardship through denial of discharge. This Article applies these findings to several factual situations common in student-loan bankruptcy. It argues that IDR's availability should not count against discharge if IDR would extend the repayment period and the debtor could not maintain an above-minimal standard of living during the repayment period. In bankruptcies commenced after five years of repayment, the student-loan debtor generally should receive discharge if the creditor cannot show a substantial likelihood of significant repayment, so the availability of a zero-payment IDR plan should not weigh against discharge. The possibilities under IDR of negative amortization and tax liability weigh in favor of discharge, potentially by increasing the level of expected repayment the creditor must demonstrate. The debtor's failure to learn about IDR usually should not count against the debtor.
Download or read book Student Loan Discharge An Empirical Study of the Undue Hardship Provision of 523 A 8 Under Appellate Review written by Ryan Freeman and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to the enactment of the Bankruptcy Code, student-loan debtors could receive automatic discharge of their debts in bankruptcy. Now, they cannot. Since the Code's enactment, Congress pursued progressively harsher standards, continually narrowing the scope of when a student-loan debtor could obtain discharge. Following the enactment of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act in 2005, student-loan debtors now encounter the toughest obstacles to discharge they have ever faced. By extending the protection of the discharge exception of 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(8) to private lenders, Congress effectively placed all students who take out loans to pay for their education at the mercy of a harsh system, whose narrow exceptions for discharge force debtors to prove that they face a “certainty of hopelessness” in their future.The harshness of this system is well documented by empirical studies analyzing the results of bankruptcy courts applying the undue hardship provision in § 523(a)(8). These studies paint a portrait of inconsistency and subjectivity across the many judicial districts. Attempted application of the undefined term “undue hardship” has resulted in multiple judicially created tests, the most predominant of which, the Brunner test, requiring a finding of non-dischargeability if the debtor fails any of the test's three prongs.This Comment presents findings from an empirical study of ten years of bankruptcy appellate decisions dealing with the undue hardship provision, an area yet unexplored. Its findings reveal an enormous inequity in the treatment of debtors and creditors in these cases. These findings suggest a reconsideration of the current approach of the bankruptcy system toward student-loan debt and whether the judicially created tests have narrowed this exception beyond what the Code intended. Furthermore, it recommends careful assessment for practitioners considering an appeal on behalf of a debtor of an unfavorable bankruptcy court decision.
