New Bill applies only to loans that are taken after the June For most loans the only thing they do is cap your payment to 15% of your income, there is no forgiveness, the government can not force lenders to let you not pay, you must remember that the lender, and not the government. Prices of government, you the loan, but you took it from a lender, so even if it is a federal loan you need the lender if you owe the bank. This means that the bank / lender, not the government, to decide if she will forgive you loan after a certain period of time, you should contact them.
