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.

Short story- nscl put my loan into collections because of an administrative error. I have a letter from them stating they made an "administrative oversight." This oversight wrecked my credit and it has been since 2004. I have paid on my loans but to collection agencies and want to get legal counsel for wrecking my credit and the mental anguish, frustration, and depression, and stress this has caused.

You would have to contact an attorney, consult, and hire if you have a case. Have you approached them and requested that they fix the issue? If not, I would do that first before going to an attorney. If you have solid evidence, as in a written admission that they caused you harm personally and economically and they refuse to remedy the matter by removing all derrogatory remarks and whatnot, then you have a stronger argument.

You have proof that your calls were purposely ignored?   Wow!  There must be some recourse for you?

If it is going to the minister of HRSDC then this is good. That is where it has to go. Then, they will be prompted to contact the third-party service provider (NSLSC) to remedy, if they are at fault. If they refuse then you have to get an attorney after that because it is a legal matter.
