My student loans were on a bankrupcy I filed in 1996. I paid on it faithfully and it was discharged in 2000. The student loan balance was 7950.00 and I paid 2775.00. Now in 2004 the student loan company is saying I owe $13000+ (balance of student loan + interest since 1996) Neither my attorney nor the student loan company told me that there was a problem with the loan or discharge. I understand I owe the bill but what about the interest since it was discharged in 2000? It doesnt seem right I should have to pay it since the student loan company did not inform me I had to start paying it. I was under the impression, erroneously so, that the debt was satisfied. I would have been paying it the entire time if I had known all this. Do I have a legal leg to stand on for getting some of this interest knocked off?
