My wife has a Perkins loan reporting that she doesn't remember taking out. Consequently, she has never sent in a payment (as notated on one of her reports - "First payment never received"). The loan was opened in 1999 and is still open, but despite being almost ten years late with that first payment, they are only reporting as 120 days late.
Is this loan in default if is ten years behind, but not actually reporting as defaulted, or is it merely delinquent?
Oh she is definately in default....perkins default after 270 days. She should have made her payments to the school as they are the ones who administer it....so if she didnt leave a correct mailing with the Perkins collections department, she would never have received notice.
Who is collecting it now?
