My student loans are in default, and are 6 years old. I make a payment monthly, it is not much, but because it went into collections, I also have half of my income tax taken until paid in full.
Until this year, when they took 100% of my tax refund.
I went asking questions, and it was because of my student loans.
Yey.

I have experienced the similar situation this year. I've always made monthly payments on both my federal and provincial loans, albeit a pittance.

And, in other years, I've recieved up to $2,800 in refunds, with no confisicating.<br/><br/>So what's up with that?<br/><br/>Personally, if this legislation doesn't go through soon, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown. I was told about this in October when I went to see a bankruptcy trustee; she told me this was truly the only option for me ... how sad is that? Yet I'm still paying about $200 per month, when I'm the sole breadwinner for a family of four, with an income of $2,100 per month.<br/><br/>Ugh.<br/><br/>Anyway, I agree with Bob's theory 100%.<br/><br/>cait I think Bob’s right on the nose here.

I’m eligible for approximately $1,800 in refunds, and was informed I’ll be getting nothing. And, in other years, I’ve recieved up to $2,800 in refunds, with no confisicating.

So what’s up with that?

Personally, if this legislation doesn’t go through soon, I’m going to have a nervous breakdown. I was told about this in October when I went to see a bankruptcy trustee; she told me this was truly the only option for me … how sad is that? Yet I’m still paying about $200 per month, when I’m the sole breadwinner for a family of four, with an income of $2,100 per month.

Ugh.

Anyway, I agree with Bob’s theory 100%.
