      I was gonna mention the last time I think you asked this. I take it you aren’t stateside.

      First it becomes insolvent, then after a while it longer it goes into default. This is when it gets sent to a collection agency(and it will pass from one agency to another because the get sick of sending you letters and calling you 17,458 times a month.) All this time it will still accrue interest at like 9%. After they get sick of trying to collect, the gov can get involved and withhold our tax returns or garnish our wages.

      To put that interest into perspective, I have the ability to pay a monthly amount based on my wages. Before the pandemic, when I was able to pay, the amount was so low and the interest was so high that I wasn’t able to pay more than what I was accruing.
