    NPR received dozens of comments from aggrieved borrowers responding to news that, over the past year, 99 percent of applications for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program were denied.https://n.pr/2pXKbxc

        I wept and felt as if I had to put my life plans further on hold. Ten years of faithful payments to an unqualified loan program that I didn't know was unqualified. A misleading promise is actually a hurtful lie.

        When you take a loan, then want to avoid repayment, you aren’t the aggrieved party. The lender is.

        If you arrange debt forgiveness in exchange for work of a type, take the work, and refuse the contract forgiveness, you are not the aggrieved party.

        Betsy DeVos would agree with you. However, if there is a breach of contract, and in these instances there may, then the student loan debts are void.

        I did not take on the debt. And if you try to make me pay, I will confiscate your caps lock key.

        I'm in the 99%. Was shocked to find out after 16 years of continuous gov employment and missing no loan payments I was denied because they were deemed "non-qualifying" payments. Lol, ripoff program and misleading.

        Not a shock given current administration. Need a student loan revolution or overhaul next decade or economy is doomed. How the hell will any of us be able to afford a home? Keep cutting those corporation taxes and allow private jet deductions though

        My wife is enrolled in this program. It started to become clear last year that, given its mismanagement, making financial and career decisions based on the loan forgiveness would be a mistake. Imagine if this happened with the G.I. bill.

        I’m 8 years in on my public service and found out 2 years ago that my payment plan wasn’t one of the qualified plans...even though the payment was higher than the qualified plan I was changed to. I wasted 6 years, but it could’ve been much worse

        Nurses should not have a problem paying off their loans. But teachers, on the other hand, might be struggling. But of course, the government needs nurses for government run programs. This debt forgiveness was a false incentive to work for the government.

        In this matter, Betsy DeVos is a loan industry stooge.

        This isn't about a free ride when some governmental institutions are destitute of workers. As such, they offer "debt forgiveness" programs as an incentive to work for them. Otherwise, who the would work for below average wage in rural areas?
