Something called Texas guarntee says I have a student loan for my son who is still in college and in
the Army reseve.

Additional Details:
I was denied the parnet plus loan and he had to get some other loan. Now this TG is saying I owe
them 17,000 + dollars. I have been unemployed for over a year. I never signed anything. He never got
any money from them. He is still in school and in the Reserve. If I declare bankruptcy will it get
rid of this? How much does that cost?
Legal Topic Area: Bankruptcy in TX

Before you file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy I suggest that you run your credit history report to determine if in fact you are on such a loan. Then I would contact the loan company and have them send you a verification of your signature on a loan prior to filing chapter 7 bankruptcy. If you are in fact on the loan you should be able to discharge this in a chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, although your son will still be liable for the amount of the loan.


I have responded to your inquiry according to the laws of Massachusetts, where I practice. Laws can vary significantly from state to state and cases tend to be rather fact-specific, so you are best served by consulting with a knowledgeable attorney in weighing your options.
