My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Michigan (loan originated in Illinois)
My mother lives on social security and pension income. We owe thousands of dollars in private student loans to a private university (lender). The university's financial services tricked my mother into signing an agreement where the school withdraws payments electronically from her bank account monthly. She wants to change her agreement so that she can mail-in her payments. The university refuses to accommodate this change. Can the university legally withdraw money that is 100% social security and pension income? Does my mother have the right to exempt her income from debt collectors?
