This bi-partisan, White House-backed deal is great for political talking points, and mostly terrible for students. Check out Adam Minsky’s latest article to find out why. http://ow.ly/nuBL8

New Report Describes the Booming Student Loan “Debt Relief” Industry |...:

The National Consumer Law Center is out with a sobering new report about the perils of the booming student loan “debt relief" industry. It’s upsetting, but not really surprising, right? Check out Adam Minsky’s latest article for a summary and link to the report. http://bit.ly/12m5bhZ






via Tumblr http://kylemccarthyism.tumblr.com/post/56424418709

For those who may be wondering, Student Debt Crisis does NOT support the most recent Senate deal on Stafford Loan interest rates. We haven't made much noise about this latest bill because it was a backroom deal and the fix was in - there wasn't much we could do to stop it. We're much more interested in focusing on Comprehensive Student Debt Reform - real reforms that would help everyone here and the nearly 40 million student loan borrowers struggling in America. We moved on from the debate over interest rate hikes because, frankly, 99% of the people here won't be affected by this rate hike issue. We'd much rather focus our time and energies on something that would have a meaningful affect on the people who are actually experiencing the squeeze from their already-accumulated student loan debt.
