No. Under the old Bankruptcy Code, you could dismiss student loans if they were not government backed or if they were not issued by an entity that receives state money. However, the new Bankruptcy Code does not make this distinction, so under the new Code no student loans are dischargeable, not even private ones. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts and law, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person. Speak to a lawyer for specific advice. If you have any questions, please refer to a lawyer in your jurisdiction. Thanks!
