SACRAMENTO, CA - A Sacramento attorney who hasn't made a payment on her student loan in over a decade is being sued by the federal government for more than $150,000.
According to a civil suit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court, Robbin Michelle Coker consolidated multiple student loans in 1996 with a single federally-guaranteed loan of $60,466. The complaint indicates Coker stopped making payments on the new loan 18 months later.
The U.S. Department of Education reimbursed the lender for the defaulted loan and is trying to collect a total of $138,212.23, which includes the original loan amount plus interest which continues accruing at $17.25 per day.
The U.S. Attorney, which filed the suit, is seeking an additional 10 percent "debt surcharge" authorized by federal law.
Federal court records indicate Coker specializes in personal bankruptcies. With few exceptions, student loans cannot be discharged in a bankruptcy.
According to an online directory of attorneys, Coker was licensed to practice law in 1995 following graduation from McGeorge School of Law.
