Your student loans must be repaid. I suggest talking to your lender and looking into an income contingent repayment option. You may be able to settle your other debt for less than the amount owed. Typically debt collectors will offer settlements after a period of nonpayment. An attorney can negotiate a settlement for you. I typically have good results in such cases, but you do run a risk of being sued for nonpayment.
