Wis. committee votes to slash UW System funding [Published Winona Daily News - 4 hours ago]

A reader writes: "I am one of those people who have a student loan but have not paid it off - and am now living overseas. I have contacted Student Loans repeatedly to arrange repayment but they do not seem interested in discussing payment options with me. What was a student loan of $21,000 has now risen to over $60,000. I cannot afford to meet the payments that Student Loans expect and have tried to compromise somewhere in the middle - surely paying something is better than nothing? They have not accepted this. So we remain at an impasse."

That is unacceptable."
