Student loan borrowers in default begin facing debt collections

Move comes after Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said the Biden administration 'misled borrowers’

By Greg Norman FOXBusiness

Millions of student loan borrowers in default will start receiving notices on Monday that they are being put into collections.

The move comes after the Department of Education said last month that it is trying to protect U.S. taxpayers "from shouldering the cost of federal student loans that borrowers willingly undertook to finance their postsecondary education."

"American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies," Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement. "The Biden Administration misled borrowers: the executive branch does not have the constitutional authority to wipe debt away, nor do the loan balances simply disappear."

The Department of Education said its "Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) will resume collections of its defaulted federal student loan portfolio on Monday, May 5th," after not doing so since March 2020, which was the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Remember when people were posting their letters from the government on X saying their loans were going to be paid off?.....did they ever get the money?
