If you have followed posts by DUmmy rsmithnumbers, you recognize him as being among the DUmbest of all the DUmpmonkeys.
He's so pitifully, comically stupid, it's a real inspiration for him to come up with a tale about having student loans.
What on earth could he have studied?
Anyway, it's not a stretch to believe that he's defaulted on loans, but if he borrowed money for education, he sure was ripped off.

Student Loan Collections Question.
My student loans like many other people are in collections were they are no easier to pay off than before collections.
The past two years I have let the IRS take my return money and apply it towards the debt. I want to get this matter back in to a more positive light on my credit report. It has been hard with no money leftover to pay them down hence the moving them to collection status.
Like those debt consolidation places that can work and reduce your revolving debt are there similar business that operate much the same way.
Thanks in advance for any direction you can point me in.

1. Are You Able To Apply For An Income-Based Repayment Plan?
I know all about this because my student loans were about to default, and when I called my student loan company, they told me about this program. It's a program started by President Obama (the Socialist!!!) It's a really easy application procedure, and you just provide them proof of your income and a few other pieces of information, then they calculate how much you're able to pay per month based on your income. This program took my monthly payments down from $900 a month to just over $100 a month.
Oh, and speaking as an attorney who DOES collections (with a wife who is a collections attorney for the State of Ohio), don't EVER go to one of those "Credit Counselling" services, or anyplace that says they can lower your debt without bankruptcy. They're a major rip-off. They don't do anything you couldn't do yourself AND they charge you a fee to do it.
So, a question: Is DUmmy ChoppinBroccoli a liar, a deadbeat, or both?
Another DUmp deadbeat:

For 3 years, my monthly payment was $0, because my family income was less than 10% above the poverty line for my family size. When my wife went back to work, it naturally changed... I think it was around $100 when I recently deferred them again so I can return to school.
