Kansas City bankruptcy attorneys Neil S. Sader and Michael J. Wambolt have written an article for the Spring 2017 edition of Primerus Paradigm magazine. The article, titled “For Federal Student Loan Debt, What You Owe Is Less Important Than What You Know”, discusses helpful debt relief options available to borrowers with federal student loans. The premise of this article is that if you are struggling with student loans, knowledge is power. It is important to know which options are available for lowering payments or seeking loan forgiveness.
Neil Sader and Michael Wambolt discuss several helpful options for borrowers who are struggling to pay back federal student loans. These options include:
- Income-driven repayment plans: Borrowers with federal student loans have one or more options to enroll into income-driven repayment programs. These programs limit monthly payments to a percentage of discretionary income.
- Loan forgiveness: Some borrowers may be eligible for loan forgiveness or administrative discharges. The article discusses the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program (PSLF) and special cases where borrowers can discharge their loans. In addition, the article discusses how loan forgiveness works with income-driven repayment plans.
- Loan rehabilitation: In the article, Neil Sader and Michael Wambolt discuss how borrowers can rehabilitate loans in default. Loan rehabilitation enables some borrowers who are in default to enter into more affordable income-driven repayment plans.
