Can you file bankruptcy on private student loans?

how to file for bankruptcy
Justus Alexander has arrived! asked:


My husband and I have a large amount of debt due to student loans. However, only a couple of thousand are through the government. The rest are through private companies. If we were to file bankruptcy I know that the federal student loans would still have to be repaid. But what about the private student loans? Would those be charged off or would we still have to repay those as well?
