YOu BE THE JUDGE

BY CLAIRE BERNSTEIN

‘But my default isn’t my fault!

“Oh, Mother, | can't handie my nursing
Studies, It was bad enough last year,.when
my little daughters were sexually assaulted.

= BASED ON
But now, with Daddy's passing away last ACTUAL COURT
week, I've fallen apart...” CASES

Lori couldn’t stop sobbing.

“| can barely take care of the girls, jet
alone study, May | come back home with the
girls?”

Lori's mother wanted to reach out over
the telephone wire and hold her daughter
close. ;

“Of course you can, my darling. We all
need each other right now,”

_ Loti had another difficult question to ask.

“Mother, you're not disappointed that I'm
quitting my nursing studies, are you? || know
how much you and Daddy wanted me to have
@ profession so | wouldn't have to struggle
to support myseif and the girls.”

Lori's mother was firm, :

“Lorl, you must heal your heart now.
Next year you can fill your mind. And you'll go
to a University close tahome,” 3.

Lori let out an enormous sigh of relief,

The university gave her a compassionate
leave from her studies. There was no mark
of failure on her record,

The bank manager was equally helpful.

“Lori, normally you'd have to start repay-
ing your student loans in a few months
because you are no longer at university, But
we will give you an extension. When you'
resume your studies In your home town you
Will be eligible for further student loans."

But that’s not how things worked out.

When Lori applied the next year at the
university In her home town, her application

for student Joans was refused,

“tori, you're In default. You never paid
your old loans. The bank kept writing you
but you never answered. The government
wants Its money.”

Lori was ina state of shack.

“But the bank gave me an extension.
They must've sent. those letters to my ofd
address, because | never got them. | never
thought that | had to leave a forwarding
address."

The government took Lori to court.

The Government showed the foan con-
tract agreement. “Your Honour, Lori bor:
rowed money to go to university. We lend
this money because universily education is
important. Lori only had to follow a few sim:
ple rules to avold default, These rules were
written on the loan form In bald print. She
ignored them. We have the right to immedi-
ate repayment,” :

Lori was In a panlo. “Your Honour, |
explained everything to the bank manager.
No one said that | had to give the bank my
new address. | can't pay back the loan
because | didn't finish my degree and |
can't finish the degree without the money!
Make the government take away my default
Status, so | can finish my education!"

Should the government get immediate
repayment on the loan? You! Be The Judge,
Then look below for the decision.
