“This could not come at the worst time for millions of Americans,” says Isa Kanchola Banenes, director of the Student Borrower Center, a non -profit group that aims to reduce student debt. These borrowers, she added, “It turns out that they have to navigate such incredible economic uncertainty over the last few months.”
She also points out the fact that the older borrowers tend to encounter the largest struggles in repayment of their loans: nearly 40 percent of federal borrowers over 65 were not fulfilling their student loans, according to their student loans, according to their student loans, according to Report for 2017 from the Consumer Financial Protection BureauS “These are older people who have fixed income,” she says.
When borrowers are lagging behind, bins added, their credit results can take a blow, which makes it difficult for more loans and other loans for things such as homes and other basic needs.
The education department stated in its news that later this summer it will begin the process of paying the salaries – achieving payments will be automatically deducted from the salaries of the borrowers.
