Apparently some people are REALLY desperate

<p>How</a> can I avoid paying back my student loan? - Yahoo! Answers</p>

<p>I was pretty surprised by that. I think she should just take the honest route. What do you think?</p>

<p>I guess the only positive thing to take out of this is that she’s Canadian, so my tax dollars won’t be involved. I love how she says “I think it is unjust for people to even have to pay for education if they graduate…” She probably also thinks it’s unjust for people to have to pay for food if they digest it.</p>

<p>She’s going to be in for a rude surprise unless the Canadian laws are completely different than US. In the US, student loans are almost never forgiven in bankruptcy and judges don’t look kindly to people who run up their credit cards just before filing.<br>
What will happen to her autistic son when she gets caught and thrown in jail for fraud?</p>

<p>This is where that OP got the seven years from: [Canada</a> Student Loan Bankruptcy Legislation](<a href=“http://student-loan-bankruptcy.ca/]Canada”>http://student-loan-bankruptcy.ca/)</p>

<p>She’s thinking that she’ll qualify for bankruptcy with a $60-70K/year job plus the son’s disability income and no mortgage/car loans? I think she’s ridiculous and clearly lacks moral standards…hopefully either the gov’t will oppose her bankruptcy petition or her brother will come to his senses and refuse to hide assets for her.</p>

<p>The brother may also be in for a rude surprise if criminal charges are brought against both him & her. There are many trying their darndest to “game” the system. From the post, it’s not clear that the woman has even started ANY of the college & how any of that will play out. Additionally, my understanding of autism is that it is most helpful to get patients treated as YOUNG as possible. Her S will be much older by the time she’s done with all her schooling & what stimulation will he be given in the interim.</p>
