If someone were to ask me what could be done legislatively to help student loan borrowers manage or reduce their student loan debt, I’d suggest and have suggested: 1) simplification of the IDR programs- President Trump has included this in the two most recent budget proposals – one plan that fits all paying 12.5% of discretionary income for 15 yrs – but it should based upon the borrower’s income, not including their spouse; [ 538 more words ] https://www.tampabankruptcylawyerblog.com/why-not-ask-a-st…/
Student debt is no longer just a young persons’ issue. As of December 2018, approximately 8.4 million Americans aged 50 and older owe $289.5 billion in student loans, approximately 20% of total student loan debt. This represents a 512% increase from the $47.3 billion owed by that cohort in 2004, making the growth of student loan debt among older borrowers the greatest among any age group.

In an effort to ensure debtors receive a “fresh start” and not a “false start”, the Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida has implemented a Student Loan Management Program which utilizes a transparent portal to obtain relief from federal and private student loans. The SLMP is an attempt to tackle the $1.5 trillion student loan debt that is currently owed by 44 million Americans. [ 992 more words ] https://www.tampabankruptcylawyerblog.com/new-program-to-a…/
On Friday, August 23, 2019 President Trump signed H.R. 2938, the “Honoring American Veterans in Extreme Need Act of 2019” or the “HAVEN Act,” into law. HAVEN Act excludes from the calculation of monthly income, for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code’s means test, certain benefits paid by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense. The law takes effect immediately. [ 120 more words ] https://www.tampabankruptcylawyerblog.com/any-vets-out-the…/
If you happen to have Ocwen as a mortgage servicer (or former servicer), you may have an excellent reason to challenge their books. Check out this quote from an Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals case out this week in University of Puerto Rico Retirement System et al v. Ocwen et al. “Unfortunately for Ocwen, REALServicing didn’t really work—the software, as it turned out, was incapable of properly tracking borrowers’ accounts and payments, and it recorded inaccurate information about interest, late fees, escrow accounts, or c... read more
While I don't generally post our client reviews, there are times where I simply can't help myself. This one in particular shows the difference between having an advocate on your side versus getting your information from the student loan servicer -- who by the way represents the creditor only. They do NOT represent the borrower. Nothing short of FANTASTIC!! 5.0 stars… [ 153 more words ] https://www.tampabankruptcylawyerblog.com/how-can-a-studen…/
I thought I'd take a minute to share common defenses faced by consumer lawyers such as myself -- and help arm consumers with just how and what they should say to stop the calls. First, a debt collector will always deny that you ever revoked consent to call. They will argue that you did not provide enough personal identifying information for them to verify and therefore they could not process the DO NOT CALL request.

Who are all these people? People who want to put an end to the student loan crisis. Most are Bankruptcy Judges from the Middle, Southern and Northern Districts. The rest are us committee members who helped to put in place a new Student Loan Modification Program which goes into effect September 1, 2019 for the Middle District of Florida. As I like to put it, the idea behind the Student Loan Modification program is to: 1) increase communication between bankruptcy debtors and student loan servicers; 2) increase awareness of var... read more
How many of us no longer answer our cell phone? With all the caller ID spoofing/disguising nowadays, most people I know don't answer, opting instead for the caller to leave a voice message. This ensures they want to talk to the caller, and then they call back. The caller may do the same. I'm no different. Until someone is added into my address book, they don't exist.
