I am getting ready to pay back my Sallie Mae student loans and they are expecting me to pay approximately $500 per month for my private loan. The only other alternative they gave me for a lower monthly payment was the Interest Only option, which I have heard is a horrible choice. Given today’s economic condition and the difficulty of college graduates finding jobs, I don’t know how they can expect people like myself to pay $500 per month. Are there any private consolidation companies out there right now that can significantly lower my monthly payment?

Thank you!

I need to get a loan to be able to go back to college, however neither of my parents have any credit and I can not find a co-signer. This means I’m on my own and I unfortunately do not have much credit. What is the easiest, personal or student, loan to be approved for without a co-signer? Thanks a lot!

I want to study at the Western Visayas State University in Iloilo, Philippines, but no bank wants to give me a student loan to do that. What would happen if I enrolled at a university or college here in the States and then transferred over to the Philippines? Would I have to start paying off the student loan immediately or would I be allowed to wait until I finished my schooling in the Philippines first?

I should mention I already have the max on all the federal stuff, and this is for a past due balance from last year.

I am currently a graduate student. I have a few unsubsidized student loans that are still in deferment. Should I be able to deduct the interest that is accumulating on the loan now, or am I only able to count that when I am actually makign payments on the student loan?

I understand that it is possible to make a deduction from your taxable income from interest paid on qualifying student loans.

I believe I qualify for this, as I have been paying on my student loans for some time now. However, how do I go about showing this? I don’t recall getting any particular form from my student loan lender. I have statements, but I believe they just show the payments that I’ve made, and not how much has gone towards principal and interest, etc.

Can I request a form, or is there another way to go about doing this?

What is the variable student loan interest rate forecast for the foreseeable future during a depression WITH high inflation?

Currently it is 1%-3%
Hyperinflation could set at the rate the government is printing money.

We are in a depression. It will not end in 2010. It may be the beginning of the end. Trillions in debt will not go away overnight.

42k gross this last year. If I input the student loan interest I paid along with wages/income, my refund is $13.

If I do not include the student loan interest paid, I get $340.

Usually when I add in the student loan interest to my return, then my refund goes from $350 or so to between $700-800. Any reason that this year it takes that much away, but before it doubled it?

The only difference between this year and the last was I got a 2nd job.

I had a student loan 4 years ago that went to collections. I want to start paying on it. I heard that there is a ONE shot chance of restarting my payments status of my loan. It will go out of collections and resume like it never went default. Is this true? Can i make minimum payments on the loan and be able to go back to college?
