PSA: student loan debt isn't the only non-dischargeable debt

Date: September 6th, 2010 11:42 AM Author: Balding curious jew institution in bankruptcy. This isn't even remotely true even though it's repeated so much it's a truism on this board. For example, secured debt isn't dischargable. I can't stop paying my mortgage if I go into bankruptcy ( or if I do, the bank will take my house).

Date: September 6th, 2010 11:59 AM Author: Balding curious jew institution If the collateral is worth less than the debt there is a secured claim up to the value of the collateral and an unsecured claim on the rest.

Date: September 6th, 2010 11:59 AM Author: Spruce slimy heaven ceo Ch.7, no asset case: fork that shit over. Debt wiped. The security is the collateral. Whatever is owed on the balance, the remaining obligation to pay is now gone. Present value of the collateral is the obligation (not necessarily what was originally owed). You fuck the creditor by devaluing the collateral.
Ch. 13: 5 yr payment plan (assuming no redemption or reaffirmation agreement).

Date: September 6th, 2010 1:18 PM Author: titillating jade messiness keepsake machete So let's foreclose on people degrees if they won't pay their student loans.
This is entirely reasonable. If the laws were changed to allow this, we would see a massive and sudden restructuring of the American education system. |
|
Date: September 6th, 2010 1:22 PM Author: Balding curious jew institution Degrees are valueless to banks. The point of collateral isn't to punish someone, it's to give the bank security that at the very least, they will receive the value of the collateral.
The reason you can't make student loans dischargeable is that NO ONE WILL FUCKING LEND TO STUDENTS IF YOU DO.
Doubt me, try going out onto the market and getting a loan that doesn't have government backing and is non-dischargeable to go to school. The banks simply will no do so. You might be able to pick up some sort of loan from a shady company that will take an all-assets filing against you and get your parents to co-sign and get an all-assets filing against them, and the interest rate will be something north of 12%.
Good luck. |

Date: September 6th, 2010 1:29 PM Author: Balding curious jew institution This is the policy you should be against. Banks make a ton of money on government back loans.
Drop the government backing - make loans MORE DIFFICULT to get. This will put us on the right track.
Forgiving people who knew the rules going in and got themselves in trouble - too fucking bad. |
|
Date: September 6th, 2010 1:31 PM Author: titillating jade messiness keepsake machete This too
government backing needs to end |
|
Date: September 6th, 2010 1:29 PM Author: titillating jade messiness keepsake machete Punishing people deters them from declaring bankruptcy, and taking a degree away accomplishes this goal unless the degree was some worthless snake-oil sold by a cooley huckster.
People will fucking lend to students, they just won't fucking lend to people getting Le Cordon Bleu or Directional State Communications degrees. |
|
Date: September 6th, 2010 1:31 PM Author: Balding curious jew institution You don't understand. Banks don't care about collateral that is worthless to THEM. It doesn't matter if the collateral has value to a student, that's not how a bank evaluates risk.
|
|
Date: September 6th, 2010 1:32 PM Author: Aromatic Pea-brained National Security Agency Nursing Home Again banks lended to students when they were dischargeable in bankruptcy. The justification that there will be no loans if they are dischargeable in bankruptcy isn't true. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1415799&forum_id=2#15978235) |
|
Date: September 6th, 2010 1:35 PM Author: Balding curious jew institution If you want to make loans GOING FORWARD dischargeable in bankruptcy and drop government backing you have my full support.
But everyone knew the rules going into the current loans and those rules shouldn't change now because a bunch of people are now wishing they could be debt free. |
|
Date: September 6th, 2010 1:34 PM Author: titillating jade messiness keepsake machete "It doesn't matter if the collateral has value to a student, that's not how a bank evaluates risk."
Value of the degree to a student would impact the student's decision whether or not to burn the degree to get rid of the debt, you fucking downie. |
|
Date: September 6th, 2010 1:37 PM Author: Balding curious jew institution There will be no debt, because there will be no loan. Banks don't care about, won't take, and would never foreclose on a degree as collateral. It's not worth the time money or expense to do so.

Date: September 6th, 2010 1:31 PM Author: Aromatic Pea-brained National Security Agency Nursing Home Student loans were dischargeable in bankruptcy for the first ten years, and there was no problem. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1415799&forum_id=2#15978225) |
|
Date: September 6th, 2010 1:39 PM Author: Balding curious jew institution Again, if you want to make this change GOING FORWARD - by all means do so.
But taking out loans will be more expensive for everyone and much more difficult to get (neither of which I'm against BTW)
Forgiving, or even retroactively reforming the loan documents is bad public policy. |
