   I presume you are in the US right? I’m in the UK and when i filed for bankruptcy, student debt (what i mean if student loans that are government backed – ie, not just a loan from a bank that was for students) cannot be wiped. This will have to be paid back. You can, however, negotiate new terms at court if these payments are causing unnecessary hardship.

   Hope that helps
