Over $50,000 dollars in loans are graduate loans with an interest rate of 8.5%. My credit was in the mid 700’s when the government/ banks issued the loans to me- at...

Why all this debt? Because banksters infiltrated...

After completing my first semester at the University of Michigan in 2001, I was assaulted and suffered a closed head / mild traumatic brain injury.

In my following semesters there, I struggled in my classes. I began to lose...

Citibank - Ruining Lives
A terrorist organization has nothing on Citibank.
I co-signed the private student loans for both of my children with no doubt in my mind at the time that they would be able to re-pay the loans. Then 2008 happened. My daughter graduated in 2010 with a BFA; my son completed his Masters the same year.
The only job my daughter has had since her graduation is in a retail art supply store at $10 an...
