  4. I have a wild idea. Let's take all the private student loan lenders, liquidate them, and jail the C-suites? If I have to read one more desperate post by an 18 year old thinking their life is over because they signed a predatory Sallie Mae loan, I'll scream. #EduSky #AcademicSky #StudentLoans

  9. CW: Student Loans in the US

    Updated student loan repayment plans in the US are such trash. So cranky!
    Submitted paper work since we are being forced off the SAVE plan and had to select another one that would qualify for PSLF.
    The income-based plan is still more than I want to pay, but then after a year the estimated monthly payment due TRIPLES. I assure you that my income will not triple in a year. What is this nonsense? Hoping it adjusts with annual application. #studentloans #PSLF #AcademicChatter

  14. The #studentloans situation under Biden was a near impenetrable wall. The Trump administration has removed the "near".

  15. This is a step in the right direction, but the interest rate should be limited to RPI across all income brackets, for Plan 2 and Plan 3 loans. #StudentLoans #HigherEducation bbc.com/news/articles/crr1e5zq

  19. @digyoursoul No doubt this includes government workers in TSA, FEMA, and Coast Guard struggling again with no paychecks. And those with predatory student loans hounding us to the grave while gas and grocery prices soar.

  20. A fatted lamb to the slaughter really. After all what bar steward though that getting her to ‘debate’ the matter with someone who can count and understands compound interest would be a fair fight?

  27. The 9% additional tax on graduate earnings is steep, but the 6%+ rates of interest of many still pay is even worse. The whole rotten system needs to be replaced with direct funding from government. #HigherEducation #StudentLoans #TuitionFees

  29. TLDR News breaks down why the UK student loan system is starting to look less like help, and more like a decades-long graduate tax. Plan 5 kicks in at £25k, repayments are 9% over the threshold, and many could be paying for up to 40 years.

  39. Trump Admin to Begin Garnishing Wages for Defaulted Student Loans in January

    Wages could be garnished as early as 30 days after borrowers receive notice.

  40. @DemocracyMattersALot More of MAGA’s war on low and middle income Americans. Many w/ student loans are seniors whose Social Security checks get garnished. We make payments for decades while loans increase due to high compounding interest and only tiny fractions of payments applied to principal. A cruel racket in a country where only the rich can afford education. #StudentDebt #StudentLoans #education #college

  41. The government had signaled earlier this year that it would send notices that would lead to a portion of a borrower’s paycheck being garnished. Being in collections & in default can damage #credit scores.

  42. That move signaled the end of pandemic-era relief that began with pauses on payments in March 2020.

    After several extensions by the #Biden admin, payments resumed in October 2023, but borrowers weren’t penalized for defaulting until last year. About 5 million borrowers are in default, & millions more are expected to be close to missing payments.
