The Navient settlement today reflects a broad shift in the understanding of higher education debts that can be summarily discharged in bankruptcy.
The case is Homaidan v. Sallie Mae Inc., Bankr. E.D.N.Y., No. 17-01085, motion filed 7/21/23.
If you are considering bankruptcy to fix your finances, make sure to get your student loans taken care of also. We do both, and if you’d like to set up a strategy session to discuss your specific situation (credit card debt, house, student loans, income and assets) and understand your options (and you’re in the Tampa area or its surrounding counties), please see the link below. We freely discuss any options you can take advantage of if bankruptcy is not a good option as well.
