@hculbertson I’m so glad you’re okay, Heidi

FYI - Am physically ok. Devastating damage. No power, etc - Limited or no cell signal so unable to respond to msgs. Thx for thoughts. For those who know@Naples - Naples pier is gone and there is mud everywhere

FFEL lenders have shown their true colors. Instead of working in the interest of student loan borrowers – their customers – these lenders are holding hostage relief from millions in order to keep making a buck off of suffering.

Easy as 1-2-3* *Unless you borrowed pre-2010, then just go fuck yourself. By the way, starting today, ignore the advice we previously gave to wait for further guidance on FFEL loans.

@POTUS Hey @potus, I evacuated from the devastating damage from Hurricane Ian. Somehow missed that you would make a surprise announcement that you were pulling the rug on fuel student debt relief. Would you like to come over and kick me another way while I’m down? #ffel

We are getting help to Florida families as they face Hurricane Ian. I approved the Governor’s request for emergency assistance as soon as I received it. And ahead of the storm, we dispatched FEMA and National Guard to prepare for the storm.

Commercial FFEL lenders are colluding with Republican AGs to thwart student debt relief. I'm still hoping @usedgov figures out a solution, but this is potentially devastating news for borrowers who couldn't, or didn't, consolidate before yesterday. politico.com/news/2022/09/2…

@SecCardona Devastated on behalf of so many FFEL loan holders who are shut out of any relief. They’ve received NO help at all. COME ON!!!!

Shame on @POTUS and @usedgov for kowtowing to the loan servicers. Borrowers had NO say in which FFEL loans were taken over by govt and which were left behind with lenders. Now half of FFEL borrowers don’t get the benefits. Shame! @SecCardona @JamesKvaal

Except you didn’t even have the courage to stand up for FFEL borrowers.

@SecCardona Easy as 1-2-3 as long as you haven’t been paying for your FFEL loans for 20 years that got sent to navient without your consent. Apparently we should have known that the deadline was yesterday by our psychic abilities since it wasn’t announced until it was too late.

So- those who acted responsibly- who secured loans and graduated between 2000-2010 and have seen not 1 but 2 and in some cases 3 economic upheavals are the ones NOT eligible! This is some BS! Especially since the Fed Govt shut down the FFEL program in reaction to FannieMae and co

@SecCardona You literally closed the door for the millions of borrowers with #FFEL loans today. Where is your statement on that?

@DeeDaDeet @NPR That is exactly what they did and it’s criminal.

JUST IN: In a remarkable reversal that will affect the fortunes of millions of student loan borrowers, the U.S. Department of Education quietly changed its rules on who is eligible for President Biden's comprehensive student debt relief program. n.pr/3BRRXgN

@NPR @POTUS when the student debt relief plan was announced, FFEL borrowers were told to wait for guidance. We did. And now you caught us with our pants down. Again. Never eligible for coronavirus relief, never eligible for assistance of any kind. @screwedagain #ffel
