Loans haunt NU afterlife By Judi Nycrcn Once graduation day passes, some former UNL students forget tuition, books and housing payments. Others are not so lucky: Graduates who had Guaranteed Student Loans receive month ly payment-due notices. A Lincoln bank official said people begin GSL payments six to nine months after graduation or dropping to part-time status. People may stall payments for as long as a year by get ting an unemployment deferment, the official said. The official declined to identify himself or the bank. Rachelle Herrmann, vice president of claims and collections at the Higher Education Association Foundation in St. Faul, Minn., said people who fail to bein payments or file for an unem- status. When banks fcil to receive pay ments, Herrmann said, a loan is sold to a guarantor like the foundation. The guarantor then tries to collect the money, she said. If the guarantor does not get the money, she said, a collec tion agency will be called in. Joyce Pleines, assistant manager of National Accounts Systems, said once a collection agency gets a default ac count, it sends letters to borrowers, asking for immediate full payment. The agency gives people 10 days to pay or to notify the agency about their financial situations, Pleines said. If borrowers do not contact the agency, she said, they get more letters and phone calls at home and work. When necessary, Pleines said, the agency takes borrowers to court to make them pay. The agency can sue for wages, investments and personal prop erty, she said. People who are taken to court are responsible for court costs and lawyer fees, besides having to repay the loan, Pleines said. While some GSLs go to collection agencies, Pleines said, most former students pay their debts. . . u ; - Herrmann said most Nebraskan stu-, dents pay off GSLs on time. "Nebraska's default rate is low be cause Midwesterhers have a sense of responsibility for their debts," Herr mann said. "They are hard-working and industrious individuals." 1 .
