9/17/2024 Interview RequestHey Everyone,
Today’s action:
➡️ If you have a Parent Plus loan and spent any time with anyone at a College Financial Aid office, in person or online, especially if you felt deceived or coerced during the Parent Plus origination process, including being advised that you were required to apply for such a loan to be eligible for other aid, or had financial challenges you disclosed at the time because of substantial debts such as unpaid mortgages, liens, medical bills, bankruptcies or the like, your help is needed to understand the problems with this origination process. Please send an email to Tom Borgers at tborgers98@yahoo.com, a Senior Investigator who is a former Senior Banker and Investigator in Charge for the Federal government. A long-time member of SLJ, Tom has been profiled, Top Story on 60 Minutes for his investigation into the home mortgage crisis, and has done decades worth of other very high profile work. You can see him here. Your participation with Tom will help our cause to eliminate bad Parent Plus Loans. The email above is his personal email. We are lucky to have him! ➡️ ➡️ Also, we just published this: Real talk about Kamala, the Democrats, and student loans. Don't shoot the messenger. We tell the truth about student loans. WE REALLY NEED YOU IN THIS FIGHT RIGHT NOW. Godspeed- Alan 9/16/2024 Emailing Kamala Harris. IMPORTANT!Hey Everyone,
Today’s action is very quick: Send an email like this to Kamala Harris: Dear Vice President Harris- I strongly urge your Administration to immediately return bankruptcy rights to federal student loans, execute the broad cancellation of federally owned student loans by executive order, and call on Congress to immediately return standard bankruptcy rights to all student loans. Your administration promised to both return bankruptcy rights to student loans by ending opposition to borrowers in bankruptcy court, and also cancel federally owned student loans by executive order. Your "New Bankruptcy Process" didn't achieve this, and is proving to be a cruel, expensive undertaking for borrowers. You used the wrong law to cancel loans (you should have used HEA 1082), and it predictably was struck down. In your current Presidential campaign, you make no mention of either of those critically important items. The 40+ million distressed voters in the country (ie those who are either unable to pay, or those who are paying but their loan balances are increasing) demand some very serious leadership from you and the Administration. This is nearly enough voters to elect a President outright, and to this point, you have alienated and ignored them. I hope very much that you will take this note very seriously. We saw Hillary Clinton ignore these voters in 2016. I urge you in the strongest of terms to not make that mistake. Sincerely, 🚨 Donations Needed! 🚨 We need 30 people to donate $20 or more this week. Will you please help us knock this out quick, so we can focus on the fight at hand? Also, we just published this. Don't shoot the messenger. We tell the truth about student loans. Please let us make this week the strongest ever in the nearly-20 year history of this group! Godspeed- Alan 9/15/2024 Sunday. Interview RequestHey Everyone!
Sorry to have to lead with this, but we need 15 people to donate $10 or more this weekend! It is critical, or I wouldn't be asking! Will you PLEASE help make this fundraising easier on us? http://www.studentloanjustice.org/donate.html Also, we just published this: Real talk about Kamala, the Democrats, and student loans. Don't shoot the messenger. We tell the truth about student loans. Interview Request: If you have Parent Plus loans, a famous federal investigator, Tom Borgers, wants to speak with you. His personal email is tborgers58@yahoo.com. You can see him on 60 Minutes here. Please read that article, though. Forewarned is forearmed! -Alan 9/12/2024 Straight Talk about Kamala HarrisHey Everyone-
We just published this. Read it & share it. This is a very hard truth, unfortunately. We really need to push both parties right now, harder than we every have before. We have a month before voting begins in earnest. Less, actually. Also see this really strong article for us, and thanks to everyone who stepped up to be interviewed for it. Today's action:
It gets easier when you help- Alan 9/8/2024 Very Strong PieceLadies and Gentlemen
Very strong piece out this week for us. Thanks to all who stepped up to be interviewed. We critically need 23 people to donate $20 or more at this time. Will you please help? Great Thanks to Donald, Lisa, Jeff, Elena, Chris, Jason, Dwayne, Anne Marie, Jeannie, Selena, Lawanza and Jerome for their recent contributions!
We can do this! Alan 9/4/2024 Interview RequestHey All!
See this interview request. Lot's going on right now. Today's action:
This is your battle. It is heating up. We need you fighting with us. C'mon...the water's fine!! -Alan 9/3/2024 Pushing the Petition Again!Good Morning All-
The election is 2 months away. We've gotten our petition up to 1.2 million signatures. We want to push it again, and get it up to 3 million or even far, far more by election day. I know we can do this. The timing for this is perfect.
-Alan ps. please donate if you can- Everyone-
We finally have a good bankruptcy bill to fight for. With only a month before the election, we need to give this bill our full attention for the next couple of days. Republicans in a House subcommittee are key for this. To that end: Will you please do this critically important action? Start a petition
The two largest groups (besides ours), in fact, are either business partners with the student debt collection industry, who’ve wanted to see a mass default on student loans with bankruptcy rights remaining gone for years, or they are using their group as “hunting grounds” for defaulted and distressed borrowers, who they make money from by selling them into loan rehabilitation, loan consolidation, or other processes (like the “Fresh Start” Program or SAVE Plan), even though they know that the outcomes of these programs for the very large majority of borrowers are horrible. Both of these groups have been tellingly silent on returning bankruptcy rights for many years, and viciously opposed it (both publicly, and behind the scenes) at critical times. They are not what they appear. They are what’s called “Astroturf”, despite all their pleasant sounding words. The LAST thing they want is to actually solve this problem. That would kill their whole deal. They have caused massive damage to you and your livelihood, and I cannot understate that. All their work is now coming to fruition as we plunge forward, defaults soar, bankruptcy rights remain gone, and the collection industry/Department of Education gets back to business as usual. We’ve tried to warn people about them- again and again- over the years, but word obviously didn’t get out enough, and they’ve persisted. I’ve hoped/trusted that their members would spot their corruption, and they would fall of their own weight. Some did, to be sure, but not most. Not enough. People need to wake up to these dark forces. I write this note because both of these groups are poised for massive growth as we go forward. They will surely see greatly increased influxes of funding, and inject even more distractive noise into the student loan space. We’ve never done, and will never do deals with the bad guys. The ONLY way we get the funding we need is through donations from normal people, as you well know. Our group has never been, and will never be corrupted. No matter what the cost, and it has been great to this point. FULL STOP. I hope that you recognize and appreciate the importance and value in this fact. If you care about actually getting your loans solved, integrity is really the only thing that matters. I TRULY HOPE you will stick with us through the dark days ahead and spread the word, both about us, and about the corrupted groups poised to dominate this landscape. We are it, and we all have a lot riding on it. God Speed, Alan |
