This website is a testimony to the problems Canadian Student Loan borrowers experienced from approximately 1996 to 2008 and until their loans were paid off.

The privatization of the Student Loans system by the Chretien and Martin Liberal governments broke the system and defaulted thousands of borrowers who were trying to pay their loans. There were even stories of suicide due to the harassment of borrowers.

Read the report that I prepared back in 2007 here. Canada Student Loans-The Need for Change Fortunately the new Conservative government at the time revamped the program and fixed the system for new borrowers, but borrowers under the previous program were left with ruined credit and continued harassment from debt collectors.

I call on the Canadian Government to apologize to the borrowers affected by this fiasco and make amends.

Unfortunately the Liberal government is again clobbering the Education system with their changes to International Student Visas. Yes, there's a problem, but instead of a well thought out plan, they have pulled the emergency brake on the train causing a derailment. This has introduced unprecedented instability for both private and public education institutions who serve both international and local students.

Universities have been forced to cancel programs and layoff hundreds if not thousands of full-time and contract instructors.

Again, the Liberal government has messed up the education environment.

I went to court in Alberta Court of Quuens Bench(June 27, 2006)and won!!! Fight for your rights and petition your discharge if your student loans have not been dismissed with your bankrutcy.

The judge wrote a stongly worded "nasty" letter to the Attorney General and sided with me.

Contact me if you like and will advise you.

hey Kathy
Interesting
especially in Alberta
Has it been posted to the Canadian Legal Information Institute? In all the court cases I have read that have taken place over the last few years yours is a first and would set precedent depending on the surrounding facts.
I mean I have seen judges cut SL's in half, but totally discharge them? Don't mean to rain on your parade but I cannot imagine CSL letting that one go because of the implications for everyone elses SL's.
Sorry,....ever the downer.

Anyway I am glad you have yours sorted out to your satisfaction.

Congratulations! I wonder if this would work in Ontario? I would be definitely interested in how you managed to do this. I was discharged from my proposal last year and thats when CSL started harassing me, calling and asking the same questions over and over again, being totally unreasonable with repayment expectations. I know it would be possible and from reading this site the CSL office and Ontario Student Loans try to keep people ignorant of their rights.

Hi Kathy, could you please let me know more about how you begin this process, I am interested in taking the same type of action with my student loans also.  I still have over $ 40,000 worth of student debt after my proposal, I would be very interested to talk with you more about how to begin the court process so I can put an end to this once and for all.
