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 Trumpās new rule might yank away their debt relief promise.
