There is no resolution for student loan. Most universities even hold your transcripts if you fall into default. I've never lived extravagantly and I've always worked multiple jobs. However, when I became laid off I was unable to continue my payments. Now, a year later, as I try to get my life back on track, I can't get transcripts to get a new job before I pay the entire 8,000. So before you blame these people for circumstance "mr. High and mighty". How many years would it take you to pay off 8k, making minimum wage?

Don't organize, don't riot, don't blame the institutions who raised tuition 300 percent in thirty years. Don't recognize it as class warfare. Don't overthrow, don't destroy the system that has made you an indentured servant. Don't stop paying into your loans, even if takes your whole life. Don't realize that you'll never be able to afford a home, a wife or children and most certainly don't recognize the American dream is an outright lie.

Th...Debtor's Revolt is coming soon, indeed. <br /><br />This is no longer a system worth sustaining, nor even "changing" through ineffective political action. We must simply *crush* the predatory lending system by means of a mass walkout. A refusal to play the came any more. <br /><br />Gather up your courage, indebted folks, and join us. REPUDIATE your student debt. Just walk away, and let the unsustainable, predatory system of extraction collapse upon itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481083477379506990.post-7900358948994858482012-05-03T14:13:21.898-04:002012-05-03T14:13:21.898-04:00What a stark reality.
