I'm being sued by Western Michigan University for the $8,000 my student loans failed to cover, what can I do?

I recommend that you contact an attorney in your area who handles student loan defaults to discuss all the facts of your case that are not posted. An attorney may be able to assist you with loan repayment with your lender.

It sounds as if the lawsuit is for unpaid tuition - not a student loan. If so, bankruptcy may be able to wipe out the obligation. Kurt O'Keefe is a lawyer in the Detroit area who is not only a consumer bankruptcy lawyer but also a graduate of the Student Loan Law Workshop so may be able to help you.
