When my daughters first left for college, I was told that the school's policy was for the parent/guardian to apply for an education loan. If it was denied, the student would automatically get it. I said then that I couldn't afford to make any additional payments but that didn't seem to matter. When the time arrived to begin payments all I could do was to ignore the notices because I could not afford to pay. This summer I received notice that my stimulus check had been taken & used
toward this debt & I was subject to garnishing of all state/federal taxes owed in the future & possibly my wages until this debt was paid in full. I seem to owe approx. $10- $12,000 for each child!! Is there anything I can do? I am even afraid to call these people but I know that I definitely can't afford for them to take my wages. I am barely making it now. Someone please help!!!
