Just say NO! No To Government Loans!

Student Government Loans & Poor Seeking Assistance: The Government Is Involved In Everything!

Just say no to government loans, unless you want to be repaying back loans you took out through the government for the rest of you life! The interest rates is what gets you...the interest rates are so High! Say no!

Once you graduate from college you have some time before you are required to start a repayment plan! However, When you cannot afford to repay your government loans and you try evading or ignoring the fact payments are due, it can back fire! The government can find you anywhere you go! There's no place to hide!

When they find you...they unexpectedly come with threatening harrassing phone calls and letters to you. It's quite frightening and intimidating! They can recapture or take any refunds you are due! Some refunds they recapture are "Property Refunds, Federal Refunds, State Refunds." Even if you are struggling living below the poverty level the IRS will still comes after you!

Yes, it's an obligation to repay loans you've taken out, especially to get a quality education that you hope will land you a wonderful job but what if: You can't find a regular job, receive public assistance, have a failing business as an entrepreneur, have children and lots of monthly bills just to maintain housing, food and clothing the basic needs...the IRS is ruthless and unforgiving!

You may need or qualify for: unemployment, social services and social service agencies. The social service agencies are overwhelmed and overloaded every day of the week by people from all walks of life, classes, cultures, nationalities seeking relief for: cash assistance, medical assistance and food assistance or even emergency assistance that they only help a individual or family once every twelve months with!

The head office is known as "Century Plaza," located in downtown Minneapolis. Indeed, Century Plaza is a branch of government here in Minnesota. Century Plaza is a place for the needy, seeking help at rock bottom, this doesn't stop the government: state or federal from recouping money you owe them.

If you get help from the social services you must report every Penny coming into your household...actually every $50.00 or more a month from outside sources or you could loose your assistance and be barred off the programs.

Are you at "Rock Bottom?" There's help for you if you can meet certain criteria! Even individuals with degrees are seen at Century Plaza, how unfortunate.

May God Bless You In Your Time Of Need,

Sincerely, Ms. Shelly D. Thomas
