Rosemarie C asked:


I was worrying that I wouldn’t be able to get private student loans in the future. I am a full time student now and my credit card debt is out of control. My only way out is through debt settlement. I hear it will affect my credit score badly–something that the private loan companies look at. Any advice?

Debt Loan Consolidation

KM Brennan asked:


My husband and I have over $120,000 in student loan debt (mostly private loans with Sallie Mae).
We are looking to join the Peace Corps and I just found out that our loans can not be deferred while serving.

I’m wondering how to deal with this giant debt.
Should I consolidate? Is there anything smart I can do to help get these paid? Are there any other options for us (consolidation, any financial aid options…etc.)? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Consolidating Credit Card Debt

complicatedtallblonde asked:


I have 2 student loans with Sallie Mae that total $25,000 and an ACS loan that is about $20,000. Total I have about $45,000 dollars in PRIVATE student loans. I have about 10 thousand in federal but the Navy is going to pay them.

Currently I am paying $300 a month to Sallie Mae, and beginning next month $200 to ACS. I would like to consolidate these loans to get a smaller monthly payment. I already called Sallie Mae and they no longer consolidate student loans.

Who do you suggest I go through to get a consolidation? I’m almost 23 and have enlisted in the Navy so I will have good job security. I do not know my credit score but I have gotten a credit report and everything was in good standing, nothing ever late or defaulted. I MUST get a consolidation without a co-signer.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

I currently have Sallie Mae loans. As many of you know they will take you to the bank on interest and other fees. Does anyone have any advice on who might be willing to consolidate these god awful private loans. I don’t want to be in debt forever! Any great advice is greatly appreciated!

College Student Credit Card Debt

beejean33 asked:


I have a total of about $27,000 in private student loans through Sallie Mae with a 9% interest rate . Is it possible to find a federal loan to cover the previous amount I’ve borrowed and close my Sallie Mae account? I am still in school (I’m a junior) at the University of Minnesota and will need another year of financial aid..
