No reprieve from N.J. student loan program even after death

Only on "CBS This Morning," the woman in charge of New Jersey's student loan program defends her agency against accusations it's out of control. The Higher Education Student Assistance Authority, also known as HESAA, is being accused of driving families into financial ruin when borrowers become sick, lose their jobs, or even die. Michelle Miller speaks with one mother being forced to pay back her son's student loans, more than a year after he was murdered.

It’s absolutely disgusting how that woman can sit there with a straight face. Justifying her company still sending payment requests to a mother, who’s son was murdered!

To sit there and think you’re still entitled to any repayments under those circumstances is entirely selfish and unethical. That mother should absolutely stop paying those ghouls, and tell them off for being so cowardly towards her family.

Clearly the son isn’t in a student anymore, for tragic reasons. This company is a multi billion dollar organization. It would not hurt them to forgive this one persons loans. Let it go, you jackals.

Absolutely despicable behavior from a woman who probably gives out math quizzes on Halloween.

Massive SL debt will ruin your life. You will never own a home, never have children, and suitable marriage mates will reject you bc of your massive debt. Better to have done a stint in prison. You will pay your whole life for a mistake you made when you were 16 yo to 24 yo.
For many, sui cide will be the only way out.
I'm a 52 yo Gen Xer, I know from experience, I graduated with my masters in 1996 and was immediately in the hole $70K. It's now, due to interest, ballooned to $130K.

You co-sign a loan you're responsible. However will you can do if you can get insurance that if somebody dies the loan will be paid off.
