Summary:
The first section of this Bankruptcy Law Letter examines the questions surrounding the undefined term “educational benefit” in 11 U.S.C. §523(a)(8)(A)(ii), which makes private student loans, which do not meet the IRS definition of being a “qualified educational loan”, nondischargeable. These private loans can include bar review courses, loans for attendance at unacredited schools, loans for school or test preparation and ad hoc borrowing for that somehow relates to education.
