Money Tips for Students

Dealing with debt collectors
If you’re having trouble paying your student loans and other debts, you may be contacted by a debt collection agency.
Don’t try to dodge a collector. It’s in your best interest to work with the agency to work out a payment schedule so you can pay your debts and start to reestablish your credit.
Most collection agencies abide by the law, but you may be contacted by one that doesn’t. In that case, you should know your rights and responsibilities, according to KHEAA.
The agency must tell you the amount requested and the name of the creditor, as well as what to do if you don’t think you owe the money.
An agency trying to collect a debt may not make threats, use tricks to try to get someone to pay or make calls late at night.
If you think a collection agency has violated the law, you can file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at www.consumerfinance.gov.
