One woman could not pay off her loan and this is what she has indicated as the main reason: “I needed to hide money to be able to leave a relationship that had become abusive once we moved in together. Once it crossed the physically abusive line, I slept in my car. This was on 1/4/2019. On 1/12/19 I was laid off. I am working again now and am trying to pay everything back. The money I had saved, instead of paying, got me out of the car and renting a room. I had to do it.”

One woman explained why she wasn’t able to pay off her loan on time

Financial distress is probably the number one reason why women can't get out of abusive relationships. They're held hostage by their abusers emotionally, mentally, financially and sometimes physically. The fact that this woman even had the courage to get out and then admit the reason to a stranger shows her extreme strength of character. It's difficult and somewhat embarrassing to be this vulnerable, IMHO. I hope the woman in the story is doing better now and I applaud the loan counselor for their help and advice. Another case of "not all heroes wear capes."

That was very kind of the loan counselor to help her & offer financial tips. How many teachers don't know they can get their loans absolved?

Lol she very well could have been lieing, why wouldn't she?? If she missed her payments, couldn't afford it, whatever reason, she easily could have been lieing, most people would lie if it will help their situation and get them a bit of time! However...on the flip side, I have also been in an abusive relationship, and it can be hard to leave, so if that really was the case, then fair play to her!!
