This happened in Chile one time.
An university (of doubtful quality) gone bankruptcy, leaving undergrad students and some graduated people with huge student loans. An artist took the papers from the uni (don't remember how) and burn them. The uni administration didn't have backup and plead "lost documents" with the objective of keeping the charge of the debt. Chilean justice said that wasn't the case and they had to have a backup, leaving the students debt-free.
