Absolutely terrible governance by Linda McMahon and Trump to not give warning before resuming the accrual of interest


That’s how a loan works. You have to make payments and pay interest on the principal

Those with loans should be happy they got an illegal subsidy for an extended period of time

Curious how you think RAP is friendlier to higher earners. It has no cap and you can pay more than the standard plan if you make enough money.

The main benefit is interest subsidy for lower earners. Everything else about it kind of sucks.

Isn’t the $40k max SALT deduction only available to people who earn less than $500k anyways?

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.


You still have loans? Damn I figured you were older than me.

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


Nah. He wouldn’t have to pay the interest. After 20 years of payments the balance is adjusted to 0. Moreover, during the forbearance no payments counted towards the 240 payment schedule. There’s a court injunction prohibiting that.

Learn more before you criticize. Some may think you are the ignoramus.

Again, why wouldn’t he abide by the terms of the loan when he borrowed the money? He’s still paying back more than the principal. I’ll go out on a limb and say you’ve never paid a lender more than was required under a loan contract.
