BankruptcyEffect on Student LoansIn most cases, student loans are not dischargeable debts. You will have to pay this back. If you do not pay them back, they may be able to garnish your wages. This means that a portion of your wages will be deducted before you see your check and will then be applied towards your outstanding student loans. Most student loan organizations will wait until after your bankruptcy is discharged before resuming collection attempts. There is an exception to this general rule. If failure to discharge a loan would cause hardship for the debtor or their family, then the loan may be dischargeable.
