I’m sorry but I saw this coming when repayment was paused and then a ton of people said “I’m just never going to pay, what are they going to do?”
Obviously they will garnish wages. It’s like saying the sky is blue. No shit Sherlock.
Keep paying until you have a note in hand saying there is no debt (either until you’ve paid or the government has said the debt is 100% forgiven) . Just because one administration says we are working to take care of your debt means nothing. The next administration might reverse that. So keep paying until you have a legal document in hand saying the debt is forgiven/has fully been payed.
So you’re saying it’s better to not pay then find out the document is going back on what they said they’d do and now your wages are garnished?
No it’s better to pay or at a minimum put the money into a bank account and at least have the money ready to pay if the the shit hits the fan , at least you can pay if needed.
just pay the absolute legal minimun (like…50-100$/month, iirc?), then when/if a sane government comes in wanting an easy W they’ll write off all those not completely ignoring payment.
That’s another option. But it a bare minimum at least put the money away into a bank account they should be paying. That way if you get an insane government coming in and saying pay it all at least you can. But straight not paying and also not put the money away is insane.

“Just do what you’re told” is seldom the solution to a major problem.
