Are you struggling with student loan debt? Contrary to popular belief, it may be possible to have your student loans discharged in bankruptcy. In light of recent changes, this class will provide you with the foundational knowledge you need, whether you're considering filing for bankruptcy or simply want to understand your rights.

Class covers:

• Overview of how student loans can be discharged through bankruptcy
• The process for requesting student loan discharge and how courts decide if your loans qualify for discharge
• The difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy
• Resources and next steps for borrowers considering this option

Although you can listen to the class from various kinds of devices, you will need video to view the speaker(s) and any presentation materials and the ability to type on your device and use Zoom to ask questions or use the chat features.
