Should Mom Have to Pay Dead Son's Student Loans?
A Michigan mom wants to be let off the hook for her dead son's student loans and a nationwide petition drive is under way to support her
A nationwide petition drive is under way in support of a 61-year-old Michigan woman who is still on the hook for a student loan she co-signed for her son, who died four years ago, according to an ABC News report. The son had three student loans when he died of natural causes at age 24. Two federal loans were forgiven but a private loan company is still trying to collect its money. The online petition of mom Ella Edwards has garnered more than 200,000 signatures. What do you think about the situation? Tell us in the comments section below.
