No, you can not go to jail for nonpayment of student loans. You can have your wages garnished and tax refund check withheld though.

There are only 2 ways to get out of default on your Federally Guaranteed student loans.

  1. Contact your collection company or student loan servicer and request to enter the rehabilitation program. Most people qualify, but I have seen some refused when the default is over 10 years old. In the rehabilitation program, you will need to make 9-12 on-time payments in addition to your garnishment. After the 9-12 on-time payments, they should stop the garnishment, but you will stay in a default status until your Rehabed loans are sold to a new lender. In the past, that was an easy process, but in these turbulent financial times, other lenders are not buying rehabed loans. So, with this option your loans will stay in a Default status for the forseeable future.
  2. The second way you can get out of default and have your garnishment lifted is to consolidate your loans. These days very few Federal lenders will consolidate defaulted loans and your lender will probably not release the loan for consolidation while in a garnishment stage. The good news is, there are a few companies out there that will help you get a garnishment lifted and find a Federal lender to consolidate the loans. One good example 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 #.

If you default on a payday loan in Texas can you go to Jail?

You can't go to jail anywhere simply for defaulting on a payday loan, anymore than you can for defaulting on a mortgage, car loan or credit card. There has to be something more, like using someone else's identity to obtain the loan, for a criminal offense to have occurred.

No, one cannot go to jail by defaulting on any loan. One may go to jail based on one of the two (2) results, however, of defaulting on a loan: * If the court decides that check fraud has been committed during the course of the civil case, after the decision is made in the civil case the judge may pass on the particulars to the prosecutor for criminal prosecution. * If the borrower has a history of defaulting on loans, a similar process may occur which lands the borrower in jail.

What are the consequences of defaulting on a personal loan in Texas?

Defaulting on a personal loan can effect your credit in a negative way. The lower your credit rating, the harder it is to get a loan in the future. Loan default is a civil matter, not criminal, so there is no need to worry about any jail time being served because of it. If you take out a personal loan to purchase a car and then default on the payments, the bank can take the car from you. Which will then leave a repossession on your credit report.

Does a permanent restraining order mean someone will go to jail if they don't pay on a car loan not in their possession but in the possession of their girlfriend and the girlfriend cosigned.?

You can't go to jail for defaulting on a loan. The vehicle will remain in the possession of whoever has their name on the title. If the girlfriend doesn't have her name on the title, then she has to remand the vehicle to you. You both have to satisfy the loan debt, as you are jointly and severally liable for the debt. She can sue you for the amount of the equity she put into the vehicle.


Is it true you can go to jail for hot check for default on loan in texas?

If your purposely wrote a check that was "hot" then they can send it to the DA who may or may not prosecute you. With that being said fraud is very difficult to prove. If you are in default of owing a payday loan, you cannot go to jail. People that purposely commit fraud can be prosecuted and jail time can be imposed by a judge. But owing a debt and defaulting on the debt is considered a civil matter. Most lenders in TX do not report it to the DA they will send it to their in house collections or outside collections, in which you can work with them directly to set up a payment plan. Many clients from TX come to use being delinquent and we are able to set up arrangements to pay back that debt relatively quickly. Anyone telling you that you will go to jail is trying to scare you into paying and violating the fair debt collection act. David - PLDR Eliminatepaydayloandebt.net
