Expert Opinion

Never ignore a call that claims you owe student loans you don’t recognize. First, verify the caller’s identity by asking for a name, company, and a callback number, then hang up and call the official number on your loan statement. Never share Social Security, banking, or credit‑card details over the phone, especially if the caller pressures you to pay immediately. Ask for a written notice and check it against your records; legitimate debt collectors must provide proof within 30 days. If the call feels like a scam, block the number, report it to the FTC, and consider a call‑blocking app. Stay informed and protect your personal data.

The proposed program will only forgive a portion of the loan, not the entire amount. It's uncertain whether the program will pass or not. Advising people to default on their loans could lead to severe consequences, regardless of the program's outcome. It's crucial to stay informed about the news and avoid spreading misinformation.
