Open Letter Environment “What Would You Do” for Presidential Candidates: 5 Fair Questions for Senator Bernie Sanders

Student loan debt crisis is a multi-trillion dollar problem that affects people in all the age groups, and both individual companies and organizations and the entire economy. The debt is also a manifestation of increasing cost and decreasing value of higher education that has been provided to traditional students, adult learners and employers who hire college graduates. If the value of higher education provided would have increased at a faster pace than the cost has, we…

Open Letter to Honorable Thomas Perez, U.S. Secretary of Labor – Please Help to Stop Usage of Involuntary Servitude

It makes sense to me to turn my personal struggle with the U.S. Department of Education into something that can help to create value. I do so first and foremost as a software developer, working on long-term project that can benefit traditional students, adult learners and employers. This software development project is something that interests me. Of course, I have much less time available to me for working on this project, because I also must keep working on the U.S. Department…

What is Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Mission?

What is Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s mission? Is it to protect consumers? If so, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau should take a stand against usage of unvalidated monetary demands by different types of trolls, copyrights abusers and other similar entities. Of course, this should also apply to unvalidated monetary demands made by the Department of Education. That is, the mission should not change when another government institution is involved that is making…

Open Letter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – Do We Want to Operate so that the Law Is Anything that the Department of Education Writes on a Piece of Paper?

At work, my coworkers sometimes ask each other trivia questions. Another day one of them asked, who said the following: “The law is anything I write on a piece of paper.”

It turned out that it was Saddam Hussein.

This reminds me my experiences with the U.S. Department of Education. Of course, the U.S. Department of Education and Saddam Hussein’s government are two very different institutions. Yet, unfortunately, regarding the above…

Follow-Up Open Letter to the Default Resolution Group – If You Continue to Operate the Same Way, Why Do You Expect Different Results?

Let’s say that you consider borrowing some money and fill in an application with a financial institution. For whatever reason the application is denied.

Some time later, the financial institution asks you to start making payments on the loan.

What loan, you ask. The loan was denied, you say, and point out that the demands are unfounded.

Instead of a sensible reaction, the demands continue, and are even accompanied with…

Open Letter to the Default Resolution Group – Is the Current Department of Education Capable of Handling Disputes in an Unbiased Manner?

Does the U.S. Department of Education have the capability to handle student loan related disputes in an impartial manner? Based on my experience I have to say that I do not think so. The reasons, and the problems, are rooted in the ways the current Department of Education is being run. A student loan dispute is prejudged and categorized, and then the current or former student is pushed along the predetermined pathways. The process contains very little, if any, objectivity. This…

Open Letter to Honorable Loretta Lynch, Attorney General – Please Help to Stop Usage of Involuntary Servitude

When you explain to an addict, why his or her addiction related behavior is inappropriate, it is likely that the addict will not listen to you. Addict doesn’t listen to reason, especially when addiction related areas are involved. Addict follows whatever the addiction related needs dictate to him or her.

Outside intervention is often needed in order to modify addiction related behaviors.

The same seems to apply to the U.S. Department of…

How the Department of Education Validates Debt

If you request debt validation in writing from the U.S. Department of Education, you may be in for all sorts of surprises. First, you may have to send lots of request letters before you get any meaningful response. If that’s not surprising, how about this one: the U.S. Department of Education may use the debt validation request letters that you have sent to them as support material that provides evidence that you owe money. Sounds strange? Well, that’s just one of the things…

Open Letter to Office of Government Information Services (OGIS): Are You Sending Messages that You Actually Choose to Support?

Part of my dispute with the U.S. Department of Education involves a curious case of Federal Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) request. Below I present evidence that leads me to conclude, that the U.S. Department of Education FOIA Unit knowingly and purposefully obstructed the FOIA process.

All of this makes me wonder, how many people who live in the free world would actually choose to support government actions which enforce the message, that in a dispute…

The U.S. Department of Education Invoiced for Usage of Involuntary Servitude

My dispute with the U.S. Department of Education has been documented on this website as Case 1. The U.S. Department of Education continues to show no interest in finding a constructive solution to this case. They are too big to care. A tower of indifference. Because nobody apparently oversees their work and they are not accountable to anyone, people at the U.S. Department of Education can do…

Next Level – Open Letter to the U.S. Department of Justice

The U.S. Department of Education continues to make monetary demands without validating them. Therefore, I have to contact other institutions and individuals, so that I can obtain input from a variety of sources.

Obviously, past due student loans need to be collected. However, we cannot function effectively as a society, if everybody can redefine, at their convenience, what constitutes debt and debt obligations, what are legally binding promissory notes,…

A Big Bully – The U.S. Department of Education

I use very little credit. I find debit cards much more convenient to use. Last time I checked my credit score in 2011, and it was around 800, which is a pretty good number. Of course, there weren’t any negative items on my credit report.

In May of this year I opened a store credit card, because I was able to save over $200 on the purchases I made by opening the card. Few weeks later I received a notice stating, that the store was unable to extend me any…
