Posting on behalf of my roommate. She started a new job that was a contract and the VA hospital is government owned. Never had her previous service industry job checks garnished. She made about $900 for two weeks (untaxed, I guess she doesn’t pay taxes on her wages until end of year?) and got a letter from treasury stating her entire paycheck was applied to her balance.
She recently consolidated her loans and next Monday would have been her third payment that would take her out of default.
Even though she is in default, why would they have taken all of her paycheck? Is that legal?
Can’t find anything online about this happening to anyone else, and I’ve tried to get as much information as possible from my roommate but I can’t seem to see where she went wrong (aside from letting loans go to default in the first place).
Any advice is appreciated.
