Borrowers who enrolled in the Saving on a Valuable Education income-driven repayment plan introduced by former President Joe Biden have been in an interest-free forbearance for about a year. But interest will resume accruing on those loans on Aug. 1, the Department of Education announced on July 9.


CNBC

This is an extremely abrupt change that will affect millions. I haven't even received a message from my loan servicer. I personally have the money to pay it off and have had it in a savings account for a few months but this will hit a ton of people who are not paying attention.

Absolutely terrible governance by Linda McMahon and Trump to not give warning before resuming the accrual of interest. There is also a major backlog in the system right now if you want to apply for another repayment plan.

I'm glad the Democrat donors in CA and NY got their SALT caps increased to $40k and the carried interest loophole is still in play for the NY hedge fund managers though.

I thought the SAVE plan was done? How can you accrue interest on a plan that no longer exists?

I started paying off my student loan right after I graduated, did not have much money but wanted to pay the debts that I owed. I was very happy when I completed paying it off. I look forward to you experiencing that same happiness.

Loan servicers have not even notified their customers due to this being a giant cluster held up in lawsuits for over a year. It is irresponsible by the administration to not even allow the servicers enough time to give the borrowers a warning.

Interest will resume but payments still won't, they are still in forbearance.

Borrowers on this program have been coasting an entire year with no interest accruing and no payments due. That's after all the interest and payment breaks they got during the Covid bs. If people couldn't figure out how to make a dent in their loans if not fully pay them off over a 5 year grace period, they wasted their money getting a degree anyway.

They have been sending emails for a long time now and it is plastered all over the loan website.

So you had enough money to pay off what you owed, but you didnt...

So you can continue to not pay your debts?

No…. It is irresponsibility by YOU. Pay your fricking debt, the one you agreed too. It isn’t the taxpayer’s responsibility to bail you out, you leach

If you were smart and responsible, you would have taken advantage of the interest-free period to pay down your debt. Instead, you decided to play the system by not paying anything. I hope it cost you more in the end

And in the process, harming American investors.

Aren’t all borrowers going to be accruing interest? I am going to switch to the RAP plan when I can as it is friendlier to higher earners and it contains interest from ballooning.

1. I’ll go out on a limb and say you cashed your COVID Stimulus checks. And you take every tax credit and deduction you lawfully can. Why do you leach off of government programs?

2. No reason to make interest only payments or ‘pay down ‘ the balance when he’s on a 20 year payment program. Pay on time for 20 years and the balance is $0. Those were the terms when he borrowed the money. And he’ll still be paying back more than the principal amount borrowed. No reason he should volunteer to pay more. Do you pay extra taxes for fun?

I got 0 COVID stimulus checks because I make too much money so, no I didn’t cash any government COVID checks. Taking tax deductions and using tax credits, lawfully, isn’t leaching off the government. It’s the government leaching off me, retard

This whole paragraph proves you are both retarded and economically illiterate. He still has a loan but the interest and collection was temporarily suspended. He would have been paying down his principle without accruing interest, which would have saved him money at the end of the loan. Instead, he sat back and hoped the government would forgive his debts. People like you are why credit card companies and banks make so much money off retards
