What happened
The Trump administration is planning to utilize private debt collectors to pursue millions of student borrowers who are in default on federal loans. This effort is reportedly scheduled to begin after the midterm elections. Defaults on student loans have reached a record 9.5 million borrowers, or 1 in 5, following the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which eliminated the SAVE program and increased the average annual cost to $2,163 per borrower.
