Help!!! Perkins loan sold to collection agency!

No it is not dischargeable. How long have your been in default?

I just received word from a previous college that I attended that my Perkins Loan has been in default and has been sold to a collection agency!
I don't have the money to pay it off and this frightens me because I had plans to go back to school, but because this is in default, I can't get any more aid.

Can someone please tell me if this debt is dischargeable because it doesn't seem that way to me and I was going to file anyway.
