Pay Your Student Loans Or Else! SWAT Team Visits Loan Defaulter
enlarge Damn….I think this might be a little overkill in the collections department : The Department of Education isn’t generally seen as the threatening powerhouse that say the Department of Defense or even public safety offices are. Until now…. Last week a father of 3 had his door broken down by a SWAT team looking for the man’s wife who had defaulted on her student loans. They threw him to the ground, handcuffed him, put him in a patrol car for 6 hours, and traumatized his kids. Holy crap…when did we start sending in SWAT teams for loan defaults? You know, I’ll admit that I got behind on my loan payments after I split up with my ex and I had to move and find a new job and start a new life. The loan people were surprisingly understanding, giving me a year’s amnesty to get my life pulled together. I’m going to give the Dept. of Ed. the benefit of doubt that they at least tried to reach the wife via telephone first, but still…is this the best use of taxpayer dollars?
