Dawn,

Unlike other types of consumer loans, there is no statute of limitations for most student loans. In addition, these loans are very hard to discharge in bankruptcy.If your student loan is in default, you may be sued, your tax refund may be intercepted,or your wages could be garnished.

You may want to check out the National Consumer Law Center's student loan borrower assistance website for more information about your options for dealing with this loan:

Please keep in mind debt collectors must still by the federal Fair Collection Practices Act one collecting student loan debt.

My friend just filed bankruptcy and his lawyer advised him to charge as much as possible of the student loan on credit cards, then file the bankruptcy on the credit cards. Perfectly legal.
