      They will take your house. As someone else said, with student loans there is no collateral. With a mortgage, your home is collateral, so you will forfeit it.

          No, your income isn’t collateral. Garnishment is sought because there is no collateral to claim. Collateral is explicitly put up to guarantee a loan.

      Bad move; the house is collateral. The bank can’t foreclose on an education, they definitely can take the house.

        Nope, but they sure can garnish wages, claiming they’re entitled to it since they paid for the education that lead to the job
