The announced Friday affects borrowers enrolled in income-driven repayment plans, which allow forgiveness after making a certain number of monthly payments.

But the plans have drawn criticism over the years because of poor communication between the Education Department, loan servicers & borrowers.

The US medical system is unique in the world in that it places millions of people into crippling debt for getting sick.

We just donated to who is a charity that buys at discount and relieves medical debt in the US. Please consider doing so if you can.

Filing for bankruptcy can provide an "automatic stay" to creditors making collection attempts, halting lawsuits, foreclosures, phone calls and letters related to debt. There are limits and exceptions depending on the case and type of bankruptcy filed. moneywiselaw.com/automatic-sta

To debtors on their payment break
The pause in loan payments, a wake
Much student debt beseeches
But could have even bigger reaches
A free education surely at stake
