No, student loan debt, mortgage debt, any lien type debt will not disappear...nor can you get rid of it through bankruptcy.
You CAN get your student loans written off if you become legally disabled...as far as I know that is the only way.
Yeah that was more how i thought it would be
In the UK there was a cut off year and before that year anyone who earned less than £15,000 a year didn't need to pay it off and once they reached the age of 50 (i think it was 50) the debt was written off
That law does not stand anymore
I worked my butt off one year living like a monk and managed to pay off my student loan but they did not make it easy for me. Each time i went to them with the money they would find some new reason to prevent me from paying off the final amount...they were deliberately awkward.....they clearly wanted to keep me in debt
I'd had enough by that point though. I was getting mucked around by the banks, the phone company, the council etc so i took action...i needed to for my sanity.
I got rid off all subscriptions, all direct debits and standing orders, got rid of virtually all the contracts in my life, paid off both banks and closed my accounts with them in protest, and paid off my debts
I realised around that time that the main strands of the web that they use to wrap us into the system with are: contracts and debt
The regulators weren't protecting people from the sharp practices of the phone companies so they would ring up and say do you want a new contract for 18 months (you used to be able to get one for 6 months thereby giving you a greater ability to shop around for deals) and if you said no they would go ahead and do it anyway and you would get a letter through the post; so then you'd have to ring them up to cancel it and you'd go through the options and then be put on hold etc
All the coporations and government bodies do that now....if you ring them up you go through recorded options, then you're put on hold, then you're transferred to another department who say that it has nothing to do with them so they punt you back to the original dept who keep you on hold again before hanging up, or putting you though to another incorrect department etc
It is clearly policy to hamper the efforts of citizens and consumers
I try to limit any sort of involvement with those sorts of groups and if i have to deal with them to try and get face time...its much harder for them to brush you off then
After i got them to correct the descrepancy they had created out of thin air I told my bank manager as i closed my account that i hoped their rotten bank collapsed and it did...unfortunately the government bailed it out with tax payer money (it's funny how their 'computor errors' are never in favour of the customer!)
