Tampa Student Loan and Bankruptcy Lawyer Blog — September 18, 2020
“A lot of people have so many expenses to cover that student loans are often the last thing they can afford,” said Christie Arkovich. She is the founder and attorney at Arkovich Law. “And so, if you have the choice of paying rent or a car payment or food, you’re not going to choose student loans over one of those things.”
Arkovich wants people to know about a few deadlines coming up quickly.
One is for Fresh Start, a temporary program offering benefits for borrowers with defaulted federal student loans. This program ends on September 30. The other is a temporary on-ramp. “All of that ends on September 30 and you’ll have potential garnishments, and things that were put on hold for a very long time.” This recount could be very helpful to you. Consider consolidating your loans if that is the best option.
