BOOK NUMBER 32
SUBJECT MATTER: Student loans
TITLE: The Student Loan Scam. The Most Oppressive Debt in the U.S. and How We Can Fight Back
AUTHOR: Alan Collinge
PUBLISHER: Beacon Press
COPYRIGHT: 2009, 167 pages

Did you know that student loans are afforded none of the protections of every other type of loan? Did you know that some states suspend the licenses of people who have defaulted on their student loans? That is, if you are any sort of professional that needs a license to operate, a defaulted student loan in some states will prevent you from making gainful employment in your chosen profession. Did you know that the private student loan business has taken the place of most government-funded school aid programs?
The bottom line presented in this heart-rending book is that the students best interest is in no way being served by the educational financing part of this society.
The author presents many individual stories of people victimized by the student loan process.
