I am in default on $24,000 in student loans. With interest and collection costs it's now over $50,000. I want to repay the money. I did it, I'm responsible. But I got a call from allied interstate that said I had to give them checking account drafts for a minimum of $425 a month or I would be would be garnished immediately without benefit of hearing. I'm told that I must sign a faxed note of some kind for them tommorrow or I'll be garnished immediately. I'm afraid of the effect this will have on my employer, and I'm not sure I have to sign anything with Allied Interstate on such notice. I learned they're Allied Interstate when i called them back. They said they were the Dept. of Education. Is there anything I can do?


Call this number: (800)557-7392 they are Federal Direct Consolidation Loan, this is who you contact about consolidating your federal student loans, they will be able to advise you what is best in your situation and who to contact to rehabilitate your loans if you have to do that before consolidating. DO NOT GIVE ALLIED YOUR ACCOUNT INFO. YOU WILL REGRET IT!! THEY ARE CROOKS AND UNDERHANDED. google them on this forum and read the horror stories.

Thanks for your help Steelers1. They already have my information I think. They called me at work. I called the Dept. of Ed tonight and they refered me back to allied interstate. They told me they were Dept. of Education. She said she was faxing me something to sign at work tommorrow. She said that I had to pay them now or be garnished immediately. Can I tell her she must document the amount owed to stall them till I call Federal Direct Consolidation Loan. It's 10:00 pm in NC where I'm at....I feel like I'm about to be in a whole lot of trouble...

I would call that number first before they have a chance to call you first to find out if you can put these into rehabilitation. Or if the lady contacts you first inquire about loan rehablitation and that you want to look into that option. I believe that if this is the first time you defaulted that is an option you have prior to them going straight into garnishment. I had my student loans default and I was about to get my check garnished and I was able to rehabilitate them before that next step. Tell her you want that option.

She said the $425 that I have to pay her immediatley is for Rehabilitation. She said I have no choice on the amount, that it is .076 % of the outstanding amount and if I don't begin paying it immediately it goes to garnishment without hearing. Do I have grounds to ask for validation?

Call that number and see if you can consolidate the loans and with student loans and child support they don't need to have a hearing to garnish. If you qualify for consolidation it will take a couple of months to get everything completed but in the mean time you will be garnished 10% of your take home pay if you don't pay the $425 a month, so I guess it comes down to if the 10% a pay is less than the $425 a month payment.
