    Huge gift to student borrowers. Just default on your loans and take the hit to your credit.

        They could if they weren’t selling the debt to collection agencies. That’s the hack. Take the hit to your credit, maybe a civil suit to get a little out of you, but don’t bother paying the collection agency. Just refuse to talk to them.

              With the amount of fucking stupid going on you never know anymore lol. I mean only 38% of people are current on their federal loans apparently so it’ll be fine…….
