hi,
I took $20,000 as a federal student loan for my graduate studies, after graduation i got a job and started paying off my loan.
But due to circumstances i had to leave country USA for two years, i fell short on my loan payments.
I have came back now only to know that my student loan is with a collection agency and i had to pay extra $4000 of collection cost. I have setup direct debt from my account and I am paying the monthly installments of $163.
I am willing to pay my original student loan amount but i don't want to pay the additional collection cost. Is there any way to avoid it? should i hire a lawyer for it? plz advise
