We called them Silks, but they didn't wear silk. They were hunters, emboldened by an old law passed by an old government for an old nation that no longer mattered. They were a company, like every other that now ruled this land.
The DCG Act of the '60s, a hollow attempt to shore up sunken banks' incomes made each and every loan a generational debt. Not that it helped much, except make repossessions professionals more violent. Another drop of acid in the societal sludge.
The Silks were a remnant of the primordial age, where the foundations of today were built. With access to both genealogical data, and the dust covered hard drives holding the initial loan agreements, they became hunters of blood. Ancestors, long forgotten had made choices, and their descendants will pay for it, plus interest. Such is the cost of Further Education.
They are the Student Loans Company, and they shall have their payment.
