Dear President Obama, and CFPB : I am writing you to plead for assistance. XXXX individuals like myself are facing a student loan crisis and although we are hardworking people we do n't earn enough to eat. Two and a half months ago I obtained employment after being laid off and unable to find work. Prior to XXXX 2016 I was residing on the streets and utilizing food kitchens to eat. Last month I began receiving calls at work from the Student Loan Collection Company General Revenue Corporation and as a result was put on verbal notice by my employer that any further collection call at work and I would be terminated. I informed General Revenue Corporation that I just began work 2 months ago and did not have the funds to pay them. On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I received notice that my wages are going to be garnished. I was informed by General Revenue Corporation employee XXXX XXXX that they did not need court permission to garnish my wages and it would be going into effect immediately. 
I currently make {$16.00} an hour and after the state takes my retirement, federal, state taxes, and health insurance I take home about {$1600.00}. After being homeless for quite some time I finally obtained an apartment in which I pay {$700.00} a month and {$200.00} in utilities. I am currently on payment plans with the Internal Revenue and State of Arizona for messing up on my taxes while I was homeless. I owe over {$50000.00} in student loans. The loan with XXXX/General Revenue Corporation is XXXX of XXXX student loans. The payment for the first Navient loan is {$320.00} and the second Navient loan is {$110.00}. The {$200.00} I have left does n't cover my food for the month because I use the money to put gas in my vehicle to get me to work. 
I currently do not make enough money to pay living expenses and all my debts. I am an example of the working poor. I have a job but do not have money to buy food. I do not qualify for state assistance anymore because I work and they do not take into consideration that I have many people in the process to garnish my wages or the bills I pay. 
When the garnishment from General Revenue Corporation goes into effect I will have to quit my job. I will not have money left to put gas in my vehicle to go to work or pay for any necessities. I will essentially be working for free at least when I was living on the streets the state was willing to provide me with medical coverage. I know that there are XXXX people like myself who do n't have money to eat because of their student loan debt. We have no options and nowhere to turn. I am requesting assistance. 
Warmly, XXXX XXXX Cc : Presiding Judge over case # XXXX
