As you know, if I am not an expert on some of the subjects I cover, I will let you know. For example, I do not help people in foreclosure. Here is another subject I know little about, but found an excellent free website covering student loans.
This site is owned and operated by NCLC. As you probably know, I read their books cover to cover. They make the best consumer law books to the best of my knowledge.
They have a site on student loans that looks helpful. Here is the link: http://www.studentloanborrowerassistance.org/
NCLC’s new student loan site is free. If you use the site and have feedback, please post it as it may help others.

Very helpful article, Boiler! If readers have Student Loans in default, this is a very good site: https://www.myeddebt.com/borrower/ I’ve referred a lot of our clients and several friends to this site so that they can discuss rehabilitating student loans.
