student loans

 
 

Posted on Wednesday, December 06, 2006


I am a single mother of two. I have over 40k in student loans (both provincial and federal), have a car loan for approx. 10k. If I go bankrupt, will I be cleared of my student loans and will I be able to keep my car?

    The Section of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act that deals with student loans is 178(1)(g). It sets two conditions under which a student loan may not be discharged by bankruptcy.
    The first condition is that the bankrupt is still a student when they file.
    The second is that it has been less than 10 years since the bankrupt ceased to be a full-time or part-time student.
    So your student loan meets the above criteria than it is a debt you will be released from if you file for bankruptcy.

    As for the vehicle, in most instances you can keep the vehicle, but you are best to contact a licensed trustee to confirm details surrounding this.
