So my atty wants to file an AP to reduce my student loan balance. I know they are generally not dischargeable but there have been successful cases in our district, most recently in Sept although no rulings by my Judge. My atty doesn't seem to think my Judge would have any reason to disagree w/the previous rulings.
Of course I have to a new retainer but to get my SL reduced by any amount is SO worth it... But of course it's student loans and they have a stake in the fire to not create precedent and will obviously get involved (my atty's firm had a case where the lender didn't even object!).
My atty is going to call around to see if anyone has dealt w/my specific lenders (more importantly the private lender)...but says b/c my balance is high, higher than when I graduated despite making payments, and I'm using my degree and have pretty much plateaued in my earnings that my case is a good one.
Thanks!
