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.

Hello everyone

I started getting calls from Global Credit at the beginning of March re a loan owed to the BNS re a loan i took when i lived in New Brunswick.  I am being informed that i owe about $21000 and the last time I made a payment was december 19, 2001.  I informed the collector that as per HRSD my loan is PIF because I just finished paying them off.  The loan was with NCO and after dealing with there collectors, I called HRSD to find out that I only had a balance of about 400.00 and paid it off.  They keep telling me that it is a different loan, the Federal Portion.  Now that Global Credit is calling,  I contacted HRSD again and they keep on telling me that I am PIF and sent me proof but the agent did say that there might be a **Risk Portion** and that would be what Global is trying to collect.

 

Global Credit keeps on calling daily re this loan and I have told them constantly that I don’t owe this money and for them to send me proof, a contract…something.  Well today, I received a copy of the contract that I signed dating from 92 till 96 and it’s the Canadian Student Loan Program form and the dates are from 92 till 96.  Now after reading all the information possible on this site, would this loan still be owed of could fall under the Statute of Limitation?

 
I have not acknowledge the loan on the phone or in writing.  The only thing I requested from them was proof that I have that loan to see if it was the loan that I have paid out to HRSD and still I cant clarify this.   Would this loan be considered the Federal Portion of the loan.  I don’t want to sound stupid but when I signed those documents, I hadnt realized that they where going to be split up and for them to contact me 9 years after the last pmt made of dec 19, 2001 and demand payment is crazy.

 

If this is the risk loan, does that mean the debt is unenforceable via court and no judgement can take place?

 

Any clarification would be appreciated. 

Thanks

Kelbra

I just ran into the same problem from CFO to the tune of 12800, 7700 of which is interest.  Any comments on what to do here as they are demanding a payment but if i pay them then i was told the clock starts ticking for 6 years again.
