There is no statute of limitation for collection of defaulted student loans And unless you are totally and permanently disabled, there is no way that you can discharge your student loans in a bankruptcy. Legally, a default occurs the first time you fail to make a payment when it is due. But if you fail to make your student loan payment for 180 days, your loan will enter the official default status and take on a life of its own. This is the point at which the lender will report your student loan as defaulted to the credit bureaus. It is also the point at which a long list of bad things can start to occur. Your tax refund checks can be seized and your wages can be garnished.
