Originally appearing in AP News on June 14, 2023, Cora Lewis and Adriana Morga quote Abby Shafroth in a piece about the consequences of nonpayment upon the resumption of student loan payments.
“Forbearance allows you to postpone payments without it being held against you, but interest does accrue. So you’re going to see your balance increase every month.”
Abby Shafroth, senior attorney and director of the Student Loan Borrower Assistance Project at the National Consumer Law Center
