Are these federally backed student loans? There is a difference between private and federal SLs. With her being on disability, they would not be able to garnish anything for private SLs, but I'm not positive on federally backed ones.

Her student loans are all 22+ years old yet they are threatening wage garnishments and threatening legal action against her (all this is in the notice, i can type it out if needed) She is also on disablility so her paying it is out of the question.
Is there a SOL for student loans? From what I've read they ALWAYS stay on your credit profile but being student loans I don't know as much as a charge off/collection. Any help is appreciated!
BTW location in Florida.
Federal laws being changed in 1998 and 2005, made collection on federal student loans now have no statute of limitation. There are "forgivness" programs that you'll have to inquire about, and bankruptcy doesn't eliminate the federally backed loans (majority of time).
