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."

Kerrey also released a
report on new and expand
