Today (4/20/06), I came home to a an upset mother. My mom had phoned my residence, crying & seemed very unstable... A few years back my step-father passed away, being on a fixed income she has doesn't make that much at her job, since she is just a part-timer.
She explained to me that the Department of Education had turned over the loan she had with them to Van Ru Credit, so my mom called Van Ru Credit to get an exact amount about two months ago, just within the past two weeks she got a letter saying she owed $3,000 dollars for a loan she opened up.
Wondering how she was going to pay for back the loan so she came home early and called Van Ru Credit and spoke with her rep who was very nasty with her, she explained that she was on a fixed income, and she can make a payment of $25.00 a month to pay off the loan. The lady on the phone told her that they werent going to even touch that amount, because her loan was up to $9,000.00 and that they were going to garnish her wages from her job.
And for the next 15 years they were going to take her refund from her income tax away... My mom had explained she is on section 8, and she works part-time for $7.75 for about 10 hours week, she had to pay her rent, and bills, and pay for transportation. This is wrong, for one the bill was $3,000 then in two weeks went up to $9,000.
