In principle, anyone can sue anyone if they don't keep up with original contract agreement and don't have something formal, preferably in writing, concerning an arrangement for reduced payments. But I doubt that your fiance will get sued; maybe she'll get her income tax return held.

As you can see from links like the above, there's a bit a collection crisis going on.

You might also want to read the blogs on John Leblanc's "canadian financial wellness" student loan forum. Comparing your experience to others will give you an idea of what's happening. Only try to ignore the annoying infomercial testimonials if you do.

My Fiance has a canadian student loan that she stopped paying for a while but in the last 6 months have been paying monthly payments as per requested. But now this is not enough anymore and they keep calling and threating to sue her if she don't pay the balance in full. Can they really do this even though they are receiving money from me?????? Is there anyway of getting them to stop harrasing me. Also she stays at home and baysites our son and others making this her place of employment can they call her numerous amounts of times during the day to harrass her? Any help would be great Thanks
