I made a $10,000 payment to close out mine a few years ago. Turns out I was right that Biden wouldn’t do anything meaningful on that front, and I was tired of being gouged on the interest.

As someone who has to pay back half of my COVID relief but so many rich people and corporations don’t- I feel this deep in my black soul.
$7000 on top of my student loans👍

You should take a second to look up who is in the way of that happening, because it sure as hell isn’t Biden.

They can’t help everyone, or even the majority, but they’re helping as many people as they can.

One of the other replies mentioned a recent 5 Bn USD forgiveness of Student Debts, but actually the total amount the Biden Admin has forgiven is 132 Bn USD through various means. They also still plan to go through with the full forgiveness that was initially blocked by Conservative State Attorneys and the Supreme Court on June 30th, in total it will forgive 430 Bn USD.

Dude you know they were referring to covid relief and not LOANS. “On what grounds” they said, obviously that’s not referring to paying back a loan and instead on what grounds would you have to pay back RELIEF funds.

Last line they refer to student loans

Because the federal student loan plan is where I got the loan, so now I owe the big G like $15,000 instead of just under $8000.
I never should have had to pay back relief funds.

Quick question? How come you gave to pay half of it back? On what grounds?
TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They “reassessed” my account and that’s all the reason they gave.
