so when the department of education takes my money in the tax return, is the dept. of education paying themselves off or paying that random collection agency off?

if you default on your loans, the entire loan will be sold to a collection agency who will charge you interest and a substantial collection fee every month until you start paying them back, and you will not be able to move the loan out of the agency unless you pay it off in full with all charges or pay ~12 month 'restitution' payments at which point your loan payments will show up on your credit history

if you don't pay the collection fee, they will take you to court and garnish your wages for years

well it comes off in 7 years, you guys probably won't remember this when you wake up though.

quote:

Federal law requires the lender to report the original delinquency date of the account that led to charge off and any subsequent collection efforts. The original delinquency date is the date from which the seven year period is measured.

The original account and any subsequent collection accounts are deleted seven years from the original delinquency date. Because each account must include the original delinquency date, none should return to your credit history.

Collection agencies may continue to try to collect the debt, however, even after it has been removed from your credit report.

The reason this is happening to you is because collection agencies have figured out if you don't answer your collector phone calls, they can just rack up the charges and interest for years, as they have completed a service in trying to collect your money, which you have ignored... they make more money this way when you eventually get sued as all your poo poo has racked up to thousands of dollars profit for them.

I periodically take a week or two off if I feel like I've been having too much but if I'm not trying not to drink I just sorta do so naturally, I would say a typical day after work is 3-6 beers, weekends if I have plans and stuff to do are similar but if it's just a saturday where my only objective is sitting around I might nurse stuff all day. I'm less of a binge drinker and more of a consistent drinker, the kind of person you hit a bar with and wonder why they seem normal when you're starting to regret that last drink.

quote:

Since he left college in the late 1970s, Mr. Chaskin has largely ignored his student loans — until June, when a federal judge ordered him to turn over $8,200.

Mr. Chaskin had borrowed $3,500 in federally guaranteed student loans to attend Northwestern Michigan College, a community college. He did not graduate. The federal government sued him in 1997, but over the next 15 years he made only five payments.

Last January, a lawyer in Michigan working on contract for the government was alerted to a credit check for Mr. Chaskin. The lawyer filed a garnishment order and discovered a brokerage account with nearly $20,000 that Mr. Chaskin said he had opened with disability checks.

By the time the government caught up with him, Mr. Chaskin owed more than $19,000 in accumulated interest and penalties, but the judge reduced the amount to $8,200 after Mr. Chaskin pleaded for a break.

“If you wait long enough, you catch people when their guard’s down,” said the lawyer, Charles J. Holzman, who was rewarded with more than 25 percent of Mr. Chaskin’s payment.

whatever, i will only pay my student loans if forced to by the state. i want to waste a lot of people's time for it, including state and judicial workers. if they are going to collect too much money at the end after i contest the lawsuit and determine they will make more cash than they spent on the lawsuit ill just shoot myself and tell my parents not to sign anything

How do you even pull that off? That'd be like 3 beers an hour for 10 hours. I can go through a decent amount of alcohol but at some point if it's beer I slow down because it's too much volume.

The most I've had is 18 over the course of an afternoon and most of an evening. That resulted in the worst hangover ever, and the only time I've missed work due to alcohol. I'm guessing hes extremely fat?

No I mean like if you pushed me I could probably drink a bottle and a half of whiskey/vodka in a day, I'd certainly feel it the next day and it's not something I normally do but tbh I know my tolerance is high enough that if I spread it out over a day I could handle that. But 30 beers? That's over 10.5 liters of fluid. I'd have trouble going through that much water.

I thought about inventing a swallowable tasteless shot of alcohol with a dissolvable packaging. You swallow it like a vitamin. I think I should proceed with that due to resent developments.

Granted I bought a 24 pack to drink tonight, it's going to take to long to drink the last 1/3rd of it though and my gf is going to beat me so I wish it was in pill form.

i stopped drinking for like 2 weeks last month and i found the following facts:

every morning getting up is still stringing expletives and hate and just loving dreading everything i have to do at work. i still time my sleep to "wake up" at the last moment possible to be on time for work and not really eat breakfast even though in reality im just anxiously falling in and out of consciousness in a half-nightmare/dream about work
i am still manic and at my best at like 8pm-1am at night. that is the only time my mind feels clear and productive
i still dont have a single thought during the day that is unique or useful, i literally cant think during the day

i honestly think i need some kind of night job because i cannot loving deal with this 8-5 poo poo
