Hi All,
It was my understanding that it was a Federal Law that Collection Companies
could not allow a borrower to pay off their student loans using a credit
card (this would be creating debt to pay debt). However I am finding that
Collection Companies are doing this and have been successful obtaining
credit card merchant ID's to run the cards themselves. Do any of you know
whether or not this is illegal?
Any information would be helpful.
Sincerely,
Linda Winslow
