Student Loan Collection Efforts

If you default on your student loans, the Department of Education or the guaranty agency holding your loans can:

  • Send you a letter demanding payment
  • Track you down using government or bank records
  • Report your default to the major credit bureaus
  • Assess collection fees
  • Garnish your wages
  • Intercept your tax refund
  • Sue you
