30 year old student loan still chasing me
IN 1979 I took out a "Direct Loan" for truck driving school. The school closed without giving notice and I was left with a $5,000 loan. I was neglectful in paying it, and many times could not because of lack of work. Now 30 years later, after I have declared bankruptcy, this loan is still active and chasing me to the tune of $23,000. How can I make a deal with the "Direct loans" to waive the interest (and perhaps penalties) and just pay off the initial principle?
