Some former students are worried about the return of student debt payments in October, as the total student loan debt in the country races over $1.7 trillion.
Multiple student loan recipients said that the prospect of returning payments in October was "scary" in an NBC News story headlined, "The ‘terrifying’ trade-offs millions of Americans face as student loan repayments resume."

"Now to have the student loans stacked on top of it, it’s really, really scary. We are going to be living on the brink," one borrower said. "There have been a lot of expenses that we’ve been trying to tear down to try to prepare for this." Story tips can be sent to jeffrey.clark@fox.com.
