It's NOT forgiveness!!! listen carefully....it's a settlement! period. paid and done. No tax liabilty...etc. This has nothing to do with "forgiveness". You are basically threatening them with bankruptcy ok? now follow me before you explode. since these types of "private" loans are considered more like a bank loan...etc right? it can be discharged in most cases...most people dont know this. So after you set yourself up and brace for impact, you default ok? then your lawyer says "were filing bankruptcy". (your not really though). Then your lawyer and their lawyer get together and say hey this guy has a little cash from some recent dead uncle, family inheritance...whatever, ok? he can pay you 15K, they say no, usually....ok we can see if he can pay 23K? (or he has to file chapter whatever). They cave in and take what they can get. your still paying essentially what you borrowed, plus a little interest (which they deserve). end of story. thats how it works. A decent lawyer can get this done for around 2500$. ok? it worked for me. but as i stated above, it's NOT for everybody, unless you have a good liquid cash position.
and what do you mean go ahead and do it? It's done as of last month my man. Debt gone. Now i told you there are ways of using lawyers to bring your credit score back from the dead. sometimes within just 1-2 years. back to 800+. That is whats happening now....expand your mind a little, the system has flaws, you sometimes need to utilize them. Don't blame me, blame the system if you dont like it. Not everything is black and white, learn to live in the grey and life will be easier.
FYI as of now, this CANNOT be done with federal loans.
This fool actually think he is the first one who had thought about this. Like I said...stop wasting your time on an internet forum. Go do it and then tell us how you did it. This guy writes like an 5th grader and he thinks he is smarter than the bank.
