Someoen txted me today telling me they were getting a lawyer and charging me for it. and taking me to court.

I can speak from experience-on SSDI, and have about $0.12 after bills. Literally my current balance. My savings is at ZERO.
They can get a judgement on you--yes. BUT, the absolutely
only agency, government or otherwise, and you can check with the Social Security Admin, is the
Department of Education, and I garauntee you, those bloodsuckers will collect-until your doctor signs a "total permanent disability," which really means you will
never work again, at least not for a very long time.
I had to sign a piece of paper agreeing that I would not make more than $14K per YEAR, for the next three years, and clearly I will never be eligible for any kind of student loan again, before they'd stop taking the "minimum" $125 out of each check I get of my Social Security.
But all they can get is a judgement. The attorney can bill you all they want-but they cannot get blood from a turnip. Block their numbers (Comcast will block up to 12, ATT up to 15-ATT wireless, but it's an extra $5.95 on the ATT thing). Don't pick up. But if they sue you, do show up for court, bring bank statements, a copy of your award letter, and tell the judge it is your
only income, and you are sick/disabled, and unable to pay.
What happens happens. But as of now, DOE is the only one able to
legally dock your check. Whew!
