About a week before Christmas, I was approached by General Revenue Corporation (GPC), a debt collecting agency to settle a debt—my student loan debt. I thought I was in forbearance on all three of my loans, turns out the loans had been sold again to another company. GRC was their debt collector attempting to collect the debt and said I was in default. I was shocked. Keep in mind, I am a single mom with two teenagers and most of the time we get our food from the food banks.in other words, we're poor and I am working a small job taking care of an elderly man, and writing job that doesn't pay anything, but it's a great experience.
GRC was really harassing me on the phone, calling me constantly trying to get me set up on a payment plan. I tried to tell them-you can't take money from someone who doesn't have it, but they wouldn't take no for an answer, they just kept on calling and harassing me day and night. [continued below]...
