This website is a testimony to the problems Canadian Student Loan borrowers experienced from approximately 1996 to 2008 and until their loans were paid off.

The privatization of the Student Loans system by the Chretien and Martin Liberal governments broke the system and defaulted thousands of borrowers who were trying to pay their loans. There were even stories of suicide due to the harassment of borrowers.

Read the report that I prepared back in 2007 here. Canada Student Loans-The Need for Change Fortunately the new Conservative government at the time revamped the program and fixed the system for new borrowers, but borrowers under the previous program were left with ruined credit and continued harassment from debt collectors.

I call on the Canadian Government to apologize to the borrowers affected by this fiasco and make amends.

Unfortunately the Liberal government is again clobbering the Education system with their changes to International Student Visas. Yes, there's a problem, but instead of a well thought out plan, they have pulled the emergency brake on the train causing a derailment. This has introduced unprecedented instability for both private and public education institutions who serve both international and local students.

Universities have been forced to cancel programs and layoff hundreds if not thousands of full-time and contract instructors.

Again, the Liberal government has messed up the education environment.

i currently owe about $4000 some on my student loan. today some rude
RUDE woman phoned me to 'update' my profile. she asked if i had a job (i
dont right now), if i was on welfare, if i was planning to get a job etc. i
didnt really disclose any information other than i'm a single mother living
with my parents right now.

she said i should ask my parents for the money. when i said i couldnt do
that she then went into "you dont seem happy. you seem like you're
ready to kill yourself. is there anything i can help you with?" in a VERY
condescending tone. when i told her that's none of her business, she
said 'well i'm going to register this with the courts. good luck"

was she just threatening me or is she really going to do this? if i had the
money i'd pay but right now is just NOT a good time.

hoping someone can give me some insight please.

thanks!

Wow. Even without hearing the tone of her voice and just reading what you quote her, I think she is lower than low. She actually said: "You don't seem happy. You seem like you're ready to kill yourself..." Any CA who says, you seem like you're ready to kill yourself, when they are after you for money has GOT to have committed SOME kind of chargeable offence. For someone to say that to a single mother, to ANYONE? Anymore, I don't think CAs are any different than loan sharks, and I think we all would have some idea how the police would react to a loan shark saying "You don't seem happy. You seem like you're ready to kill yourself..."

Many people's stories have disturbed me about their experiences with CAs, but this is the most disgusting.
