How can I get money back from student loans?
While you won’t be able to return your student loan, you can absolutely pay it back. Simply send unused funds to your student loan servicer the same way you would any other student loan payment. However, you will still have to pay fees and any interest that has accumulated up to that point.

If you find yourself with an Administrative Wage Garnishment the best way out is through the U.S. Department of Education loan rehabilitation program.

Do you have to go to court for federal student loans?
When it comes to federal student loans the government does not have to sue you or take you to court to just start taking your wages.
