At Walker & Walker, we help Minnesotans escape unmanageable debt — including student loans — through the power of bankruptcy. This week’s #WinWednesday highlights a life-changing victory for one of our clients, and it proves just how effective bankruptcy can be with the right legal strategy.
Thanks to the skill and persistence of Attorney Joshua Peterson, our client was able to discharge $190,000 in total debt, including an incredible $165,000 in student loans.
Yes — it really is possible to eliminate student loan debt through bankruptcy in Minnesota.
You Can Discharge Student Loans in Bankruptcy in Minnesota
There’s a long-standing myth that student loans can’t be discharged in bankruptcy. The truth? It’s hard, but absolutely possible — especially when you have a knowledgeable legal team like Walker & Walker guiding you through the process.
In this case, Attorney Peterson filed an adversary proceeding — a special type of lawsuit within the bankruptcy — to prove that forcing our client to repay their loans would create an undue hardship. After reviewing our client’s financial situation, the court agreed and granted a full discharge of the student debt.
Here’s What We Eliminated:
-
$165,000 in federal student loan debt
-
$25,000 in credit card and personal loan debt
-
All interest, late fees, and ongoing collection actions
That’s $190,000 in total relief — gone. No more harassing calls. No more wage garnishments. No more sleepless nights. Just a fresh start and a clear path forward.
