The Surprising Possibility of Student Loan Discharges (Dec 2020)
Discuss Judge Mullin’s recent decision in Trejo v. Navient and the United States Department of Education in which the borrower met her burden of showing undue hardship under Section 523(a)(8) as well as general changes in the way bankruptcy courts in the Fifth Circuit are understanding the requirements of Brunner and Gerhardt. Such recent changes might provide debtors with an improved likelihood of discharging their student loans.
