This is an automatically-generated Group for MyOC users in GA-7. OpenCongress has built-in Groups for all 50 U.S. states and a total of 438 Congressional districts (encompassing all 435 districts in the House, plus three additional delegates). Only registered MyOC users from this state or Congressional district can view the full list of MyOC members, and only those who have opted-in to make their state & district info publicly viwable. To make your state & district public, visit your MyOC profile's 'about' page, and set the privacy setting there to public for your five-digit ZIP code and plus-4 zip extension. This will allow you to connect with other constituents in your area, make new MyOC Friends, and coordinate your letters to your members of Congress. Questions? writeus@opencongress.org.

    Private education loans are not eligible for consolidation. Federal loans, which are subject to oversight and regulation by the federal government, include:Direct Loans, where the U.S. Department of Education is the lender; Private loans, sometimes referenced as “alternative loans,” are offered by private lenders and do not include the benefits and protections available with federal loans. Unawares of these deceptive loans, unsuspecting, not too knowledgeable college students get loans from Loan Sharks like Sallie Mae. Borrowed $13,000 in 2002 and now owe $33,000 to Sallie Mae for that loan. There is no relief for those caught in the web of these loan predators. Congressmen and Congresswomen, please help pass the Student Loan Forgiveness Bill which will allow for the consolidation or refinancing of Private Student Loans which are not otherwise cancel-able and don't offer any options to students trying to enter into repayment.
