I can definitely assist you with this. Your parents do have a section that they need to fill out on the form.


Ok, thanks. What will they need to fill out on it?


Unfortunately, no relevant information is found.


Also, I need to know if I have to have both parents fill it out. My parents are divorced and I live with my dad and won't see my mom in person until the summer.

Hi, What are the eligibility requirements for a discharge of my student loan if my school closes?


If your school closes while you are enrolled with them or soon after you withdraw you may be eligible for discharge of your federal student loan.


I have loans with the same school or different programs.  Before I could complete any of the programs my school closed. What happens in a case like this?


In a case like yours only loans you received for a program that you were unable to complete because of the school's closure are eligible for discharge.


I'm a parent who used a Direct PLUS Loan to fund my child's education. Is it possible for my loan to be discharged due to false certification of the school of my child?


Do you know if the school that your child attended falsely certified that your child would benefit from its training?


No this is not so.


Did your child have a disqualifying status at the time the school certified your eligibility to receive the parent PLUS loan?


Yes she had a disqualifying status.


Okay


I believe that someone forged my signature on a loan document and I wish to apply for a loan discharge. How do I go about applying for a discharge?


In this case you should contact your loan servicer and they will be able to help you.


What can I do with my loan if a withdraw from my school?


You can opt for an unpaid refund discharge if your case is eligible for it.


Did you withdraw from school after receiving your federal student loan?


No, but I'm thinking about it.


If you do then do you think your school could fail to return the loan funds to your loan servicer?


I think it could happen, yes.


In that case, you can be eligible for a discharge of your loan, but only the portion that the school fails to return.


If your school closes while you are enrolled or shortly after you withdraw, you may be eligible for your federal student loan forgiveness, What would I need from this school if I plan to complete my education elsewhere?


You will need to obtain your academic and financial records if you plan to attend another school.


Do you know about loan transfers . What if my federal student loan was transferred from one servicer to a different one?


The transfer just means that a new servicer will provide the support you need to repay your loans; but is still owned by ED.


I want to know if you withdrew from school and the school did not make a required return of loan funds to the loan servicer would you might be eligible for a discharge of your federal student loans? And is it possible for parents with a Direct PLUS Loan to get their loan discharged as well?


The same applies to parents with a Direct PLUS loan. If their child withdraws from school and the school fails to return the parent PLUS loan funds then the portion that it's failed to be returned would be withdrawn from the loan.


Are you a parent of a student in that situation?


Well, not me but my parents, yes.


Then you now know that the amount of the loan that the school fails to return will be discharged.
