    People are suffering. For many of us there is no retirement hope and live in poverty. Education is a lie. I did what I thought I was suppose to do and have never made a decent wage. Between females making less money and the lack of respect and compensation for female centered careers, I have never had enough money to pay student loans and also eat.

    If we can grant banks and make nonbanks banks in order to make them part of the TARP rescue, we can rescue the students who through no fault of their own from predatory default practices where more money is gained in default than in repayment. Furthermore with interest rates being so low, student lows since 2008 should have dropped accordingly to 1% or lower. The first cohort experiencing this decrease would have graduated in 2012 and 4 more cohorts following.

    Not only young people are having their lives ruined by student loan debt. Check out seniorsandstudentloans.com to read about effects of the terrible laws on older Americans.

    Pass this for the economic improvement of the Nation, not just former students.

    This is long overdue. There are so many thing wrong about the way student loan debt is curre handled including the skyrocketing price of college tuition. Please do the responsible thing , and restore the protection to this sometimes crippling debt. Stop the abuse and corruption by servicers. nring back the checks and balances to the out of control system.

    Please sponsor this bill. We cannot contribute to our U.S. economy. This means no new cars, no credit, no housing purchases, nothing. Sadly, it is our very own government that put us here. We need consumer protection restored to all student loan holders. Thank you, Lorrie Hedges

    The student loan debt I am in makes it impossible for me to buy a home. I also makes it impossible for me to things for myself. I am a caregiver for my 64 year old dad and 400 of my income goes to support him. Since it is not more than 50% of my income, I can't claim him. Yet they keep telling me I can give them 64a month for loans....yeah right~

    Student loans without standard consumer protections including bankruptcy are institutionalized slavery.

    So many people I know are staggering under the burden of their student loans. These debts are impossible to pay off unless you landed a GREAT JOB. Not too many of those around any more.

    I have paid on this loan for 30 years and it never seemed to get lower. I was sick last year and got a little relief with a forbearance. I will die before paid off

    Fairly sure it's illegal to single out one group of people to be denied debt relief when all others are given the same relief. The student loan debt game has become a criminal operation.
