There's really no actual student loan forgiveness programs that exist.

The only way you won't have to pay off your student loans is to let it default and go to collections and then within 7 years it will be removed from your credit rating.

Try to pay anything you can. Sell stuff on ebay or have a yard sale. But do everything you can to make payments.

You don't want a bad credit score. A bad credit score will affect you buying a home, renting an apartment, getting a new or used car loan and in some cases can affect you getting hired on a job.
