Can Sallie Mae garnish your new husband's wages or taxes on two student loans that you cosigned with your ex-husband - which are now in default?

I have 7 years experience in Defaulted student loans and can not definitively answer this question. My professional opinion is no, but I suggest you call the Dept. of Ed. at 1-800-4Fed-Aid. If they can't give you a definitive answer, then contact the Dept. of Ed. Ohmbudsman's office. If you want your name off of the defaulted student loans, have your ex-husband consolidate the defaulted loans in only his name. You will then be off the hook. It is tough to get defaulted student loans consolidated through a new federal lender these days. One company that I'm sure can help is Default Management Services, Inc. They are the cheapest I have seen and give a 100% money back guarantee on their services. You can Google the company name to get the phone #. Ask for Doug.

It would be a waste of time and money. The higher education amendment act made student loans non dischargable in Banruptcy Court.

A consolidation loan will allow you to get an income sensitive payment that will fit your budget, or you can file for deferment or forbearance.
