REALLY? Was this necessary? The father and kids spent six hours confined in a police car while the crack swat team searched the house for the "criminal".

I know a lot about Student Loan program and there are some really draconian provisions to collect unpaid student loans. I don't know of any provisions that raise the unpaid loan to a criminal case.

You really need to go and read the entire article to get the full impact of this raid--including the fact that the person who owed the unpaid loan didn't live at that address according to the father.

So there are well over a million unpaid student loans. Why go all Elliot Ness over this one?

We’re they expecting to find large piles of cash to collect from?

This is a very old article:

That does not make it less alarming.

To those idiot college age students who love Obama and Obamacare this is what you have to look forward to. Because of your support Obamacare nationalized the student loan industry. Don’t get dizzy spinning how that was essential for reforming health insurance.

So now we know why they need all those bullets. Pay up or die. Seems I remember that the law stated that you could not be imprisoned for your debts, but then when has Obama ever obeyed the law?

It would be nice before posting old article to check for updates ....

This was not a simple ‘unpaid student loan’ issue.

Convictions and prison ...

fraud, identity theft

Why in hell do we allow a student loan guarantee agency to have a SWAT team ????????????????????? Who ( other than a dictator ) would even think of such a thing ? Only criminal gangs like the Chicago mafia had such collection methods for overdue loan funds. And they had a code of honor to at least give you warnings before taking “adverse action” against you, too Does your local water department have a SWAT team yet ? Coming soon, SWAT teams for your cable tv, too. ........(....well, At least we won’t need so many courts. Judges. Lawyers. So the “thugification” of collecting overdue accounts does have some positive elements , ha. )
