Their page adresses it specifically, saying there is no secondary market for student loan. Given the way student loans are guaranteed, and the way you cant even get out from under them in a bankruptcy, the lenders have no incentive to sell them at a lower price. If they just wait, they will eventually get that money, even if it has to come from your social security when you get there.
