Advice About Default on Private Student Loan

Question: If I don't pay a Private School loan that I got through a bank (it has no stafford loan or federal govt associated with it) what can they do? Can they garnish my wages?

Answer: Private student loans are similar to unsecured debts owed with regards to collections. If you do not make repayments on the loan, the creditor/collection agency does have the right to take you to court.If a judgment is won, the creditor/collection agency can ask to have wages garnished and/or liens placed against properties or financial accounts. The only thing that differs a private student loan from an unsecured

debt is the fact that private student loans are currently not dischargeable in a bankruptcy filing. For more information on collection actions for default on student loans, please visit our student

loan information page.
