Student loans don’t go away after 7 years. There is no program for loan forgiveness or loan cancellation after 7 years.

Why are my student loans still on my credit report?
You’re actually creating a new loan when you consolidate or refinance student loans. The lender pays off the outstanding balances on your original loans and brings that amount into your new loan. Your old loan accounts aren’t removed from your credit report when this happens.
