Some student loan borrowers encouraged others to default on their loans "en masse" following the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to cancel President Joe Biden's student loan debt forgiveness plan, but one expert told Newsweek why that may not be a good idea.
"Okay, thing I can actually talk about: Mass default on student loan debt would be a really effective message and f*** you to this country from the folks most impacted by our constant slide backwards. Just don't pay it. Hit the bricks. En masse," Twitter user Derek Van Dyke wrote.
On Friday, the Supreme Court reached a 6-3 decision to side with Republican-led states and cancel Biden's student debt forgiveness plan, which sought to cancel up to $10,000 in debt for borrowers with an income of $125,000 or less and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients.
Payments on student loan debt have been paused for several months dating back to former President Donald Trump's administration. However, under the recently signed debt ceiling legislation, payments are set to resume in October and interest on the payments will resume in September.

Sadly true. If I’m not mistaken, upwards of 35% are all in.
Exactly.
If credit scores don’t matter, go for it. Maybe that will be Biden Plan C to get credit scoring companies to ignore student loans.
Gimmedats.
Demanding others pay off their voluntary debts.
And they think they have the moral high ground over the rest of us who did work and pay off our loans.
Amazing they aren’t at all angry at the universities.
s I understand the student loans owned by the feds, thanks to obamacare, are not forgivable .
The again. Democrats don’t five a s even with their own laws.
FYI. Now that I am near 60, I am doing everything in my power to collect every single welfare benefit until I die. I don’t give a crap anymore. I will work just enough to fund my hobbies while at the same time collect every welfare program available I am sick of this crap. I worked 82 hours this week. no more,
can you default on student loans?....I thought you could not...
I bet none of them even considered that “forgiven debt” is actually income in the eyes of the IRS and therefore taxable income.
Banks are truly unforgiving when you try to “punish” them by not paying back what you owe them.
Interest on loans and service fees are banks’ only source of revenue.
Whoever gives advice to default is NOT being your friend.
Is that collusion or insurrection?
“I would tell them to go ahead and default, and good luck repairing your credit afterwards.”
You are delusional.
Student loan debtors are a core Democratic group. They will be protected.
You are assuming they will be treated like a conservative group that deliberately defaults.
Did you not notice the differential treatment of 2020 rioters vs Jan 6 people ?
Gimmedats.
Excuse me....its Givemethats...
They ARE college educated, you know...
:]
Liens against them for life!!
They have 12 months to play the game. Biden put into place a forbidden rule that companies cannot send to collections for 12 months or effect credit scores.
I thought the problem is that they already mass defaulting on their loans.
I do feel a bit bad for people that get loans and expect a job. During classes, they keep saying ‘this can’t be outsourced’ and this and that.
Then when you’re done the same types go ‘JOBS FOR YOU? LMAO’
‘STEM? Indians do that, whatever!!!’
But will defaulting on their student loans effect their “Social Credit Score”?
Only suckers work in this country. And the biggest suckers of all get STEM degrees and end up at starbucks or a home depot cashier. That’s life here. That is reality.
Excellent movie, by the way.
The entitlement crowd at its best. Kill power to their basement hideouts and they’ll self implode.
