Obtaining student loans is not easy, but many websites and organizations are available to assist students in obtaining student loans and other financial aid. What many students find more difficult is paying back the loans once they are out of college.

As of 2018, it is estimated that student loan debt in the United States totals $1.5 trillion. This amount is second only to total mortgage debt. More than 44 million people in the United States have student debt, averaging over$37,000 per person.

As student debt has increased, so has the number of people who have difficulty repaying the debt. A student loan is considered delinquent the first day after the borrower misses a payment. For many loans, if the payment is more than 90 days overdue, the delinquency will be reported to the three major credit bureaus, which will lower the borrower's credit score. Many student loans are considered to be in default if the borrower fails to make a payment for 270 days. The current default rate is almost 11%.

While most kinds of debt can be discharged in bankruptcy, meaning that the debt does not have to be repaid, student debt is rarely discharged. Current law states that in order for the court to discharge student debt in bankruptcy, the borrower must prove that repaying the debt will cause "undue hardship" to the borrower. The law, however, does not clearly define the phrase "undue hardship."

The undue hardship clause makes it very difficult for most borrowers to get relief from student debt through bankruptcy. Therefore, before taking out a loan for college, realize that you will have to pay it back someday.

Use the Internet to answer the following questions:

  1. When a law is unclear, court cases are commonly used to clarify the law. Have recent court cases clearly defined the definition of "undue hardship?"
