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.

What happens if the say the financial questionaire is not acceptable:they say you can pay more.  Like eat less or cut the payment of this bill and give that money to us.  Is there a place that the questionaire goes (a person) to resolve the dispute?

 

thanks,

I'd tell them to get stuffed.  As long as you are making payments they can lump it.  They will probably phone you every day to bug you about it, that's when youput the phone down on a soft cloth and don't hang it up untill it beeps.

 Traditionally, the collection ends will always try to make you pay more than you are - regardless of how much or large or small the payment.

 If they tell you to stop paying something else to compensate the student loan, this is something that are really not allowed to do. Now, if your entries on a financial capacity and assessment reflect that you pay $600.00 towards telephone costs, or $500.00 towards clothing, etc.; then they will question this, of course.  

Solve Student Debt specializes in solutions for students and graduates in student loan default, and those at risk of defaulting.

With paying the government, you will get nothing.
