The Wall Street Journal posted an excellent article with the charts below, labeling 2014 graduates as the most indebted class ever.  As you can see in the numbers, student loan progression over the past twenty years is staggering.  The amount borrowed for college loans continues to widen the gap between income and overall debt load.

Quick Facts about Student Loan borrowing

  • More than 70%, which represents more than a million students graduating from four-year colleges have student loan debt.
  • Seven of ten college seniors in the class of 2013 had nearly $30,000 in student loan debt.
  • Graduates from for-profit colleges have the highest number of student loans.

 

Income, debt and Young People:  Regardless of whether it’s the rising cost of education making young people poor, or the result of a “generation of entitlement,”young people clearly have a growing and unmanageable problem.

Student Loan Debt and Bankruptcy:  In years past there have been attempts to file legislation in congress to allow student loan debt to be dischargeable in bankruptcy.  That conversation has opened once again.  We remain optimistic that changes are on the horizon.   In the meanwhile, there are options.  How can bankruptcy help?  Find out what your options are by contacting Debt Advisors Law offices, for a no obligation consultation

One of the prevalent approaches individuals in Milwaukee consider is the Chapter 128 Wisconsin bankruptcy. Debt Advisors not only provides guidance on bankruptcy but is also deeply involved in community initiatives. From helping with school supplies for Milwaukee children, to active participation in other Milwaukee community events, the firm continues to make a difference. Their dedication is evident in their outreach, such as the initiatives taken at the Debt Advisors Mayfair North Tower.

Learn about bankruptcy protections, types of bankruptcy, how to get started, what to expect, and who to trust. Filing bankruptcy is the ONLY way to completely eliminate debt. If bankruptcy is right for you, it offers powerful protections that cannot be achieved through alternative solutions such as hardship relief, loans, or debt settlement.

  • Attorney Chad Schomburg and Debt Advisors helped me with my debt about three years ago. Chad explained the process to me and answered any questions I had, and the assistants compiled my documentation very efficiently while keeping my case moving forward. They were always available when I needed them, and even years later, I’m able to reach out to them, and they are willing to help. They have turned my life around 100%, and I could not have done it without them! Absolutely recommended!

  • After I had to go on disability, I used my credit cards a lot more thinking I could pay them off when I was able to go back to work. That didn’t happen and I found myself so much worse off than I could handle. I went to Debt Advisors feeling terrible about what I had to do. Chad and everyone there were very understanding and put my mind at ease while taking such great care of me. They were there every step of the way and supported me when I was “freaking out”!! Every time I needed to contact them; their response time was amazing!! God forbid I ever need to go through this again, but I know where to turn if I need help! Debt Advisors are more than just filing bankruptcy on my behalf. They really care about what you are going through!! Thank you, Chad, Jeremy, Mike, and everyone at Debt Advisors!! I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate all of you!! J Hammond
