What to do with earned interest ? : interest gained on a saving bond received as a gift

السؤال

Assalamu Alaikum I have a question concerning interest. Before I converted to Islam, I took out some government loans to finance my education. I also recently discovered a government savings bond that I received as a gift several years ago. I cashed it in as soon as I found it, but it has already gained $ 250 in interest. Is it permissible for me to use the interest gained by this savings bond to help pay off the interest debt that my student loans have collected ? can two wrong things be used to cancel each other out ?
