Cooper v. ECMC Case No. 02-21129

Court finds student loan debt non-dischargeable pursuant to § 523(a)(8) where Debtor has maintained the same employment for 13 years, experienced regular pay increases and has a gross monthly income that exceeds her monthly expenses such that making a student loan debt payment is feasible under the ICRP. Debtor testified as to having medical problems and house repair issues but the Court was not convinced her issues limited her ability to generate income sufficient to repay her student loans.
