Yes, if your student loans were Federally Guaranteed, like Stafford, Plus, or Perkins, then the collection agency is permitted to garnish any wages or Social Security income. This is within the Federal Guidelines There are only 2 ways to get out of default on your Federally Guaranteed student loans Contact your collection company or student loan servicer and request to enter the rehabilitation program. Most people qualify, but I have seen some refused when the default is over 10 years old.In the rehabilitation program, you will need to make 9-12 on-time payments in addition to your garnishment.
After the 9-12 on-time payments, they should stop the garnishment, but you will stay in a default status until your Rehabed loans are sold to a new lender. In the past, that was an easy process, but in these turbulent financial times, other lenders are not buying rehabed loans.So, with this option your loans will stay in a Default status for the forseeable future The second way you can get out of default and have your garnishment lifted is to consolidate your loans. These days very few Federal lenders will consolidate defaulted loans and your lender will probably not release the loan for consolidation while in a garnishment stage.
The good news is, there are a few companies out there that will help you get a garnishment lifted and find a Federal lender to consolidate the loans. One good example is Default Management Services, Inc. They are the cheapest I have seen and give a 100% money back guarantee on their services.
You can Google the company name to get the phone #. Ask for Doug.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
