You will not qualify to receive any type of federal student aid, including federal student loans, while you are currently in default status on a prior federal student loan. You must clear the default first. You can clear the default by paying in full, consolidating after 6 consecutive, voluntary payments or qualifying for loan rehabilitation. You need to contact your lender for more information about these options. Once the default is cleared, you will regain eligibility for federal student aid.

You normally have to settle the default loan before you can get assistance again. I thought I had paid entire loan off and there was still a small balance I had to pay before I got accepted into school again.

Not only is paying it off required first, but it would behoove you to also make sure it is taken off of your credit report. Your reciept (copy) of payment in full, along with an explanation to the credit bureaus, can remove it. (probably quicker than the student loan company will do it.)

Question: Who should I contact about a student loan that I am being billed for but never applied for?
I have tried disputing it through a credit reporting agency but it didnt do anything, ive spoken with collection agencies that call home, all they tell me is I better pay it before they garnish wages. When I attended an online school, I never applied for student loans... I applied for financial aid on www.fafsa.gov or something like that but was told because of income and household size that I wouldnt have to pay for anything, the only thing I had to pay for was an admission fee into the school and that was to the school... academic advisor that assisted me with enrolling into the school told me this, she REALLY wanted me to join this school, I mean she lied about a lot just to get me enrolled. I never sent her a copy of h.s. transcript but she told me not to worry about it and marked it off as though I did. I think she signed for a loan for me so I could get in because I told her I wouldnt sign it I didnt want one.. now the bank says I submitted it online?? I didnt! what should I do.. I honestly believe this woman applied me online for a student loan so she would get commission for me joining this school! I have no one that can help, no one will explain who I can call.. all these people I speak with at the school and bank wont help.. the bank just wants the money! I do not want wages garnished and I am not working I cannot pay for this.. I am on medical leave from work.. I have no income and when I do go back I need income! I also need tax rebates and refunds! anyone know what to do? Does anyone have the number I can contact to report this fraud??

I hate to say this but I think you should get a lawyer. Lawyers are pricey but often your fees can be wrapped up with the thing you're suing for and the person you sue has to pay those, too. (If you win- and I think you will.) Also, some lawyers will do a free consultation. Good luck.

http://fafsa.ed.gov This is the application for federal student loans. They have the best interest rates and the best terms.

Hey there, it sounds like you need information more than anything. Here's a site with some good general information on student loans, including a financial glossary: http://www.tuitionbids.com/student-loan-tools-and-advice/student-loan-resources.aspx http://www.Tuitionbids.com, the company I represent, could also be an option for you. They have you fill out one loan application on their website, which is then reviewed by up to 6 different lenders (all legitimate and accredited). The idea is that if a bunch of banks compete for your business, you're more likely to end up with a lower rate. Good luck!

Question: What's the difference between a student loan and a loan taken out by the parent?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a student take out a loan for college, vs. having the parent take out a loan, or a second mortgage for the child's college?

Answer: The difference would be who is responsible for paying it. If ...
The difference would be who is responsible for paying it. If a student was to get a loan they may get a higher rate since they don't have any established credit. But it would be a great way to start to establish their credit. Also the student may have the option to defer payments till after college. If the parents took out a second mortgage they wouldn't have that option.

Answer: If the student was offered a federal loan, the interest ...
If the student was offered a federal loan, the interest might be lower. Also, a student loan doesn't have to be paid on until after you are done with college. Some student loans don't have interest that you have to pay until you start paying the loan, others the interest gets added in until you pay. Parent loans are just that, loans the parent takes out and pays back. A second mortage is always risky. You are putting up a house. I would never do that.
