There is an influencer that has openly talked about how she let her debt go into collections and then it somehow got completely forgiven. I dont understand how that would work..

Well if it was student loans those do not get forgiven. I believe certain debts after 7 or so years will “fall off” of your credit report. However, depending on the situation you can get sued for letting certain things go too long. Just really depends on the company and situation. A lot of different ways it can go.

It’s not how it works. It might get written off but then she would have gotten a 1099 for the amount of the bad debt. It also depends on where she lives because different states and countries have differing statutes of limitation.

And it stays in her bureau for 7 years, impacting heavily for the first two.

I have two offers in hand. KPMG and Deloitte. CTC is almost same whereas variable is more in KPMG. I am inclined towards Deloitte India. But HR in KPMG told me that I won't be able to join KPMG India in future as I accepted their offer. I informed her within 2 weeks and didn't do anything for onboarding. I didn't ask to increase the amount or JB and I strongly believe I informed early so they can look for other candidates. Is this bluff? Any HR here to clarify

I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness.
