Student loan servicer Navient (formerly Sallie Mae), accused by several States of steering debtors into forbearance rather than suggesting Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) programs. A settlement was announced this morning (1/13/22) $1.8B Who is YOUR loan servicer?

What can u do about a creditor taking money out of your tax money and the bill was included in your chapter7 that has been discharged for 2 years

So, a creditor has taken your tax refund? Do you know who the creditor was? Is it possibly a student loan?

Often, if a tax refund is garnished, it's due to a student loan

Are any/all your student loans, public (Federal) or private, in or near default?

When thinking about this question, keep in mind that for federal student loans a "default" doesn't happen until 270 days (~9 months) of missed payments.

...and FYI with your Federal loans, if you ARE in default, this is a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to either consolidate or "rehabilitate" your loans bringing them back into good standing, getting the default off your credit record. The best source of info is from the horse's mouth --- the Department of Education: studentaid.gov

1 in 4 student loans was in default BEFORE the pandemic but this is one of the subjects we need to discuss. Have you tried to consolidate, rehab, or refinance through private loans?

Hi Carrie! I didn't quite understand your post other than that you have consolidated your loans. What IDR program are you on?

what is a set off? I'm not sure I totally understand it.

Glad you asked! This article should be able to help explain set-offs in more detail: https://upsolve.org/learn/set-off/
Upsolve Community Member
Generally speaking, a set off is when a bank takes money out of your bank account because you defaulted on your payment obligations on a debt owed to that bank.

Navient ( Sally Mae) used to be mine, but I payed it off

Olesya, congrats on being free from THAT debt! :-)

I have Sallie Mae now about to default but not sure what to do is it better for it to default. I just don't know if getting into more debt to pay them is worth it.
