I agree. More power to them, but I'm way too risk adverse to personally stop paying. I genuinely hope they can induce some change. I guess that makes me a scab.

I hope this debt is forgiven someday, but I don't have enough faith in the powers that be to risk my future on it.

I mentioned to someone else replying at the same time as you did:

Don't beat yourself up - ~~that's the banks job~~.

Like if someone scams you and you follow them to their house, break in and take your money back... you become the assailant at that point - e.g. if someone spots you, maybe not even the owner, and shoots you dead or whatever, then the fact that it's their house is all that police are going to see and care about.

Movies and TV shows about vigilantes are fun to watch but the reality is that it is quite dangerous. Right or wrong, they have the entire weight of society behind them.

Find a way to resist that does not involve the likelihood of losing everything you have.:-)
