Meet Malissa Williams and Matt Sembach, the public service heroes wrangling six-figure student loans that feel like mythical beasts on 7.9% interest steroids. Williams, a nurse 'just four payments away from PSLF,' is ready to 'sell a kidney' after her monthly bill jumped from $155 to $925 thanks to a blocked repayment plan. Meanwhile, Sembach, a public defender swimming against a 'very strong current' of interest, worries Trump’s new rule might yank away their debt relief promise. The Department of Education admits delays but assures transparency in what sounds like the bureaucratic equivalent of a Dodgeball team huddling in fear.
