allow private student loans to be discharged in bankruptcy.

Created by M.C. on January 11, 2013

Private student loans are the only form of private lending that is exempt from bankruptcy. There is a direct correlation between the current exempt status and private lenders offering students risky loans, especially before 2009. This petition seeks to change that and allow private student loans to be written off in chapter 7 bankruptcy.
