Is it possible to file bankruptcy on defaulted student loans?

Not unless you can prove that repaying the loan creates an “undue hardship” for yourself and/or your family. Even then, a court has held that “bankrupts can’t erase student loans just by showing they can’t make the payments, but must also prove their financial outlook is so hopeless that repayment is impossible in the future.” See “sources” section for some links.

I’ve read many articles about student loans and bankruptcy. It is always said that student loans is not dischargeable in bankruptcy.
