On today’s episode of The Student Loan Show, we’re going to talk about strategic default for your private student loans.
Strategic default involves going past due on your loans on purpose. Usually people do it because they can’t make the payments on time, but lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people default because they think it’s a good way to get the lender to settle the student loan for less money than the total balance due.
