Negotiation Letters Will NOT work on Student Loans
Friday, November 23rd, 2007Student loan creditors such as Nelnet are required by law to report accurate information to credit agencies. This makes dealing with late or defaulted student loans much different than other accounts.

You can read why student loans cannot be included in a bankruptcy on the ed.gov website for the specific legal mumbo jumbo.
