Are you struggling to make ends meet due to overwhelming student loan debt? You’re not alone. Mishima Hughson faced a similar struggle until she found relief through bankruptcy. In a surprising turn of events, the U.S. Department of Education erased her $158,182 federal student loan debt, giving her a fresh start.
At Extreme Investor Network, we understand the financial burden that student loans can place on individuals and the barriers to discharging them in bankruptcy. Historically, it has been challenging for borrowers to walk away from student debt in court. However, recent changes in policy under the Biden administration have made the process more accessible for those in need.
Thanks to updated bankruptcy guidelines released in fall 2022, student loan borrowers like Hughson can now navigate bankruptcy court with less resistance from the government. This shift in policy treats student loans like other forms of debt, making it easier for borrowers to demonstrate financial need and goodwill efforts to repay their loans.
Bankruptcy attorney Malissa Giles, who represented Hughson, has helped several other borrowers clear their student debt under the new guidelines. As a result, clients have received relief ranging from $6,500 to over $200,000. This change not only benefits individual borrowers but also promotes a fair lending system by encouraging lenders to adopt borrower-friendly policies.
Hughson’s story highlights the financial challenges many face after graduating with student debt. As a former public school teacher, she struggled to make ends meet on a modest salary while raising two children. Despite her best efforts, she fell behind on payments and faced aggressive collection methods from the Department of Education.
