It’s no secret that student loan debt is wrecking the lives of millions of people across America. But did you know there are ways to solve your student loan problems quickly and easily?
The U.S. Department of Education has a number of solutions available to help people struggling under the weight of federal student loan debt.
Federal and state laws protect you from harassing private student loan lenders and collection agencies.
Good thing, too. There’s over $1 trillion in student loan debt out there, and 11% of student loan borrowers are in default on their payments.
The problem is that the laws, regulations and procedures are nearly impossible to understand and follow.
That’s why few people end up getting the help they need.
And it’s why you need a student loan lawyer on your side.
The Danger Of Falling Behind On Your Student Loans
Maybe you’ve thought about ignoring your student loans. Without money to pay them, you figure there’s no sense in taking any action.
Bad move.
The government can garnish your wages without a judgment, seize your tax refund (even an earned income tax credit), seize portions of federal benefits such as Social Security, and deny you eligibility for new education grants or loans. To make matters worse, collectors are allowed to charge fees that create ballooning balances.
Private lenders often hire outside agencies to collect your student loan debts. Sometimes, these companies cross the line and behave illegally. Other times, the private student loan lender will hire a lawyer to sue you.
There Are Ways To Help With Student Loan Debts
Most people don’t know it, but there are lots of options for managing your federal student loans. Some of those options include:
- deferment and forbearance
- income-dependent repayment options
- student loan consolidation
- rehabilitation of defaulted student loans (comes with a major credit score improvement)
- administrative discharge
- student loan forgiveness
When it comes to private student loans, your options include student loan debt settlement and defense of lawsuits brought by student loan collectors.
