This is YOUR community to fight for. One of the tools we have to make change is voting at the local level (because we know allll too well that the feds won’t save us). So get registered to vote in the November 4 election!

⚠️ BIG (and BAD) student debt collection changes started today ⚠️ Read through the post for what you need to do. Thanks to the Denver Channel for covering this important issue!

Graphic of a hand holding an iPhone and the screen shows the Denver Channel 7's story titled "Defaulted student loan collections resume this week: What you need to know."

WTF does that mean? Starting today, Federal Student Aid will send borrowers options if they have student loans in default. Once they start involuntary collections, the government can take money to pay back the loan from wages, tax refunds, portions of Social Security checks, and other benefits.

Am I in default? Loans go into default if borrowers don’t make a payment 270 days after their due date (~9 months). The loan also appears on credit reports as being in default.
