The Education Department has a rude awakening for 5.3 million student loan borrowers: giving their info to debt collectors

The Education Department will begin collection next month on student loans that are in default.
The article from Fortune discusses the challenges faced by student loan borrowers as they resume payments after a three-year pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The article highlights the concerns of borrowers like Sarah and Emily, who are struggling with the resumption of payments amidst rising living costs and stagnant wages. It also notes the potential for increased delinquency and default rates, as well as the political and economic implications of the student loan crisis.
