National Debt Relief Differentiates Student Loan Myths From Facts
Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (PRWEB) August 15, 2014 -- National Debt Relief recently shared in an article published last August 13, 2014 some myths and fact about student loans.

The article starts off by claiming that declaring bankruptcy just to discharge student loans is a myth. There are some student loan borrowers who are thinking of filing for bankruptcy just to get rid of college debt but it is close to impossible to do this.

One of which is working at a non-profit organization or taking up a teaching job and practicing in specific locations.
President Obama signing a bill that forgives and erases all student loans is a myth. The article explains that taking out over $1 trillion is almost equivalent to 33% of the federal budget. This means that in enable to get back that amount, there could be tax hikes or budget cuts in other areas of government service.
