Instead of forgiving such a paltry amount ($10k iirc) they probably should have forgiven 100% of the debt for each debtor.

It would have been better to know that 100% of the debt forgiveness was being held up by the GOP and the failed court system of the US instead of a fraction of it (I think $30k-$40k is the average for each student, I have $60k)

No email here. My wife didn’t get it either. I feel like it isn’t happening anyway but I’d feel better being approved to slide in quickly if there’s a short window where they are discharging debt somehow.

Which wouldn't really mean anything because the courts are currently the problem, not GOP politicians.

Interesting that they're going out on a Sunday.

It looks like I applied on October 16th; I wonder if application date has any bearing on the order they're getting through them. (I haven't gotten anything yet)

Joe Biden is the reason student debt can’t be discharged. They probably had to trick him in some way just to get him to agree to what he did.

they limited how much they forgave and limited who could get it to avoid lawsuits, might as well go for broke now

Payments resume next month. Wonder if they will extend the freeze?

Gonna make a shirt that sez "I helped push Biden over the finish line in 2020, albeit with strong reservations, and instead of getting my remaining 8k in student loans forgiven all I got was a stupid email and now I have to budget for paying back these stupid loans for a program from which I did not even graduate and all I got was that stupid email (no one gave me this t-shirt I paid for it)."

I said come in!

End of January is when they resume, I believe. So first payments would be the February ones.

I can see it going both ways; he's indicated a lack of will for extending the pause, but I think if something that's ultimately going to be part of his legacy is delayed like this, he might.

The headlines have been saying that the white house is considering extending since payments resuming was based on this forgiveness going through

Exactly the same as the odds of them winning the legal case.

Which is technically 50/50, but actually unknowable.

If they win the case/get the injunction lifted, then the application is supposed to stay up through December 2023.

As much as I'm not a doomer, I honestly didn't expect this.

Unknowable is probably the best answer. Theoretically, the suit shouldn't have standing as far as I know (the two who are suing because they didn't qualify for the program in Texas is definitely some "own the libs" judge overstepping judicial bounds), but McConnel's spent the last few years packing the courts, so....

It's a land of contrasts.

Haven't gotten the Department of Education email yet, but I have gotten 4 email today from SoFi. All of them begging me to use them to use their private loan consolidation (which would, of course, make the loans ineligible for forgiveness). They're clearly trying their hardest to rope in every sucker they can during this time in limbo.

EDIT:

5 emails now. This latest one says I can be entered into a sweepstakes for a chance to win $75k and a trip to Hawaii.

It almost seems like stuff like this should somehow be illegal. Like deliberately misleading people about debt products that are in an endless game of calvinball, when you know better.
