Can I put my student loans on a credit card and then file bankruptcy?

Student Loans

Kiro from Mass. asks: I’m over my head in student loan debt, but have good credit and lots of it. I thought up a plan to put my student loans on my credit cards and then file bankruptcy on the cards. What do you thing? Is this a good idea? It doesn’t bother me a bit that the bankruptcy will be on my credit report for 10 years. I’d rather be out of debt completely and then move to another country and start over. If anyone has ever used this method to get out from under massive credit card and student loan debt, I’d like to hear about it!

Am I Responsible For My Ex Husbands Student Loans?

Student Loans

Penny M. from Oregon asked: I’m an older woman who wants to go to College. I have two kids that are 10 and 13. My problem is that every time I apply for student loans, they decline me because of some outstanding student loans that are my ex-husbands. I’ve been told by more than several of these loan companies that since we were married, I’m responsible for half of these loans. It doesn’t seem fair that I can’t get a Student Loan because my ex-husband didn’t pay off his $30,000 student loans. I can’t afford to pay these loans myself and my ex husband refuses to pay on them. How can I get money to go to College?
