If there are no statute of limitations on federal student loans, then would the records of payments I have made to the original loaner and the collections companies still be available? If they can't provide my records, what should I do?

What is the statute of limitation for student loans in Canada?
The statute of limitations in Canada depends on the province. The statute of limitations is 6 years in British Columbia, Manitoba, Nanavut, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, NWT, P.E.I. and Yukon, 2 years in Alberta, Labrador, Newfoundland, Ontario and Saskatchewan, and 3 years in Quebec. The statute of limitations is 6 years at the federal level, which includes most student loans. In some cases the statute of limitations can be increased to 10 years.It is very easy to reset the clock on the statute of limitations in Canada. Acknowledging the debt in writing or making a payment on the debt, even a partial payment, will reset the clock.
What happens if Statute of Limitations runs out on Private Student loans? Does it mean it is cleared?
Yes and no. I know, not a clear answer, but let me explain. Private student loans don’t expire. Strictly speaking, no debt actually expires. However, that doesn’t mean the law (the court) is going to allow someone to sue on a debt that is very very old. That is where the statute of limitations comes into play. In most states, a statute of limitations is simply a bar to suing the debtor to obtain a judgment. That’s it. Expiration of the statute of limitations DOES NOT erase the debt, does not render the debt uncollectable, and does not discharge the debt in any legal sense. The expiration of the statute of limitations simply means the collector cannot sue the debtor, obtain a judgment, and proceed with enforced collection (e.g. wage garnishment).I grant you, it is a narrow distinction, but it is a well-established distinction. Your obligation to pay pursuant to the contract never expires, but the collector's ability to enforce that contract in court does expire. The collector can still call you, can write letters, etc even after the statute of limitations has expired.
What is the statute of limitation for personal loan in Chicago,Illinois?
The SOL for debt is as follows: Open Account (credit card): 5 years Written Contract: 10 years Domestic Judgment: 20 years Foreign Judgment: That in the foreign jurisdiction If you have a written contract or a promisory note,then the SOL is 10 yrs, and if they paid anything in 2007, then the sol was re-set so now the SOL is 10 yrs from last payment made. If you have it in writing, take it to small claims court. If you win and get a judgment you can then request a writ of garnishment to garnish their pay check or seize any funds they may have in a savings account. If you have nothing in writing, you are out of luck.. Hope this answers your question LEGAL DISCLAIMER: The advice contained herein is for informational purposes only.

It will depend if you had a federal student loan that is in default. Go to this website http://www.nslds.ed.gov/nslds_SA/ and see if you still owe money. If you do, all is not lost.

Is there a statue of limitations on being garnished against nonpayment of student loans?
Assuming we are talking about US, there is no statute of limitations, this is why the student loans are given so freely to basically anyone: because it's almost impossible to discharge them.Educational loans are there to enable studies, and if there is a mismatch of the income earned after the graduation/completion of studies (or even if the person dropped out of college without completing a degree), the only way to stop the collections and garnishments is to head to court.In the court, the person would have to prove that the amount of the loan is an actual burden (A LOT of supporting documentation will be required), and once it is proven, the amount can either be reduced or written off completely. There may be tax implications involved, so you will have to consult with a person specializing in this niche (either an attorney or an accountant).
Being sued for a NJclass student loan in default, any options?
So I'm being sued by a lawyer to whom NJclass sold the private student loan debt to (4k). I'm just looking for some advice. Obviously I can call the lawyer and try to negotiate a payment plan but from what I read for the lawyer to get their comission the entire debt has to be paid within 90 days or you can pay 90% of the total debt, neither of which I'm prepared to do. I read in a lot of advice forums that I should dispute the charge to avoid summary judgment. What is the purpose of disputing - hoping the land officer and/or atty doesn't show up on the court date? Having said that, I had 4 credit cards to which I stopped paying due to losing my job about a year ago, all for less than 1k. I planned on just letting them fall off my credit report after the SOL's expire and I still have 5 years left. Is my best option to let them sue me because I'm not going to pay going to agree to the lawyers terms where he/she gets a commission . I work in DE so I doubt a NJ judgement could garnish my wages and I now am claiming exempt at work to ensure they can't touch my federal return albeit I believe they can only garnish state refunds anyway. Are there any real reasons to dispute a student loan debt to avoid summary judgment? If I make the loan officer or lawyer come to court to show proof, will this increase my overall debt for their additional appearance? Is there any possibility they won't show on court date? The debt is for 4k NJclass private student loan.
