"Once you’ve failed to make a loan payment in 270 days, you will probably enter into default. That means, as of May 5, the government can take your federal tax refund and apply it to your debt. Starting in June, the government can also withhold up to 15 percent of any money you receive from Social Security, including disability payments. And later this summer, officials said, they will start the process of taking a cut of your paycheck, although borrowers have the right to appeal. Going into default can also harm your credit score, which can make it harder to rent an apartment or borrow money for other reasons, like buying a car."

Student loan debt is not typically discharged but personal bankruptcy may make sense to discharge your other debts if the government gets aggressive on collection. Contact the Law Office of Sean E. Underwood if you are having problems paying your debts. www.VABankruptcyHelp.com The Law Office of Sean E. Underwood is a debt relief agency as set forth in the United States Bankruptcy Code.

Fairfax County has announced a new program involving School Bus Stop Sign Cameras on approximately 50 of their school buses. Drivers who pass a stopped school while its stop-arm is deployed will be issued a warning notice until May 12 whereupon a $250 fine will be assessed for a first offense. When a bus comes to a complete stop and the stop-arm is deployed, the camera automatically detects vehicles that pass within the enforcement zone. At that point, the bus will record video of the vehicle and capture images including the vehicle, its license plate and the extended stop-arm. Violation videos and license plate images are reviewed by law enforcement for approval before a warning or Notice of Infraction is issued.

Traffic offenses can carry significant penalties and impact your automobile insurance. If you, or someone you know, requires assistance with a traffic offense in Virginia, please reach out to my office for a free initial consultation at 703-339-3500.

Earlier today, The United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, issued temporary injunctive relief to block President Trump's executive order redefining birthright citizenship. The executive order would seek to redefine a portion of the 14th Amendment. Judge John Coughenour, a Reagan appointee, called the measure "blatantly unconstitutional” during the first hearing in a multi-state effort challenging the order. Some 22 states have filed lawsuits challenging the Mr. Trump's executive order. The United States is currently one of 33 countries where birthright citizenship — the principle of jus soli or “right of the soil” — is applied. In the western hemisphere only one country (Columbia) does not recognize birthright citizenship.
