I finished school in 98' and my student loan is currently at fault. I started going back to school to continue with the next level in 2002 for  a different major,  but have been working and paying the tuitions for my new studies from my own pocket. The studies is part time and i take courses one a while (I am not sure if student loan is aware of my new studies). So, I cannot prove that I am busy with school and request a time extension.

My question is since i am still student but have not got any student loan since 98' , would the 10 years law about bankrupcy apply from 98' or from the time i finish school in the next few month??

Another words, if i take a course or two here and there would that be counted and  the 10 years will start after those courses?

How would they find out i am student if I apply for bankrupcy when 2008 arrives?

Thanks so much for your Help.

I think it depends if the studies are considered part of a recognized post-secondary education program in their list of legitimate post-secondary institutions. And in your case, it seems they are. 

Now, I don't think getting courses towards private certifications in IT, say, which I've done myself after having quit university, would reset the ten-year period. Because I  doubt that this type of activity shows up in any government database. And I don't believe government-sponsored training programs, those to recycle the work force, if they're dealing with a small private training institution, would apply either. They shouldn't. Or that would amount to entrapment, the state thereby resetting the clock for us as a "favor". 

But not sure about this. And would like to know for sure too. 

But this said, that ten-year rule is not exactly written in stone. There are strong hints that they could change the text of the law, putting either a five (more likely) or a two instead of the ten, thereby potentially relieving thousands, including you and I and many of these other guys around us, whoever qualifies.

Or maybe the fruits of your studies in the meantime will make this a non-issue? Try and stay positive, either way. 

Thanks for your reponse. I'd hope the law changes for the better for all of us.But you are absolutely right; the key is to stay positive.
