Yes there are consolidation loans for private loans....however they are very difficult to get if you do no have perfect credit.

Bankruptcy...basically no. There are very limited circumstances that you can file bankruptcy on student loans, like undue hardship. However the most the courts are using the Brunner test

Hello wonderful Soaplady and congrats on your HOF.

I went through alot of old records today on trying to find old student loan info. I found so much. Reasons why things happend, even reciepts of payments, to whom, etc. I also found who has my loan, etc at the moment.

My question to you Soaplady is what is the difference between a Lender and a Guanteer? I have copied/pasted my info. here from the Federal Student aid website. Sorry, its jumbled up here, not sure how to seperate it. I also found a document of a Chapter 7 that included this student loan in 1991. At this moment I am not sure what to do and I turn to you for direction. Please help Soaplady.

For FFELP loans, the lender is generally a bank or credit union or even Sallie Mae in some cases. Some service their own loans, others sell them to Sallie Mae or other servicers to maintain.

Your guarantor is one of the following state or regional guarantors....if you default, they pay the default claim and then come after you.

Thank you Soaplady, as always. Yes, it is the Illinois Student Assistant Commision (Guaranty))

With this infomation that I posted here, do you think that I may qualify for a payment plan with the DOE? It is a Subsidized Stafford Loan. One more question, as I stated above, ..back in 1991 I filed chapter 7 and I believe this document I found today proofs that I included $1,900 of which was left of my student loan in that Chapter 7. Would not that be the end of this in 1991?

In order for your loan to be have been included in a BK prior to 1998, there had to be 7 year between when the loan became due and the filing of the BK. What year did you borrow these in?

So you would have not met the seven year rule so it would have been nondischargeable.

I wished I could show you this Bankrupcie "Assignment" document from my Chapter 7. It clearly shows IDAPP/CSX in Florida as listed and the date is 1-7-1991. Wished I could scan it and send it to you in a private message just to see what you think about it. I realize that you may or may not be an attorney, but you are the best here.

It is a requirement when you file BK that you list all debts.....however listing them doesnt mean they are included in in your BK. When your BK is discharged, the wording of the discharge is "all dischargable debts are discharged." Student loans are nondischargeableunder the BK code .

I was an attorney in Canada....many many years ago.....

I knew it, you are the best. Im not sure what this document is, I am glad I kept it. It has my BK number on it, dated 1/7/1991, IDAPP/CSX 6420 Southpoint PKWY Jacksonville, FL. It is signed by Iillinois Student Assistance Commision and my student loan debt at that time of $1,967.52.

Wished I knew what this was.

Default debt

Isn't a Student Loan, on of those 'Governement -Type' loans that they can take from your Tax Refund, until it's paid off? I have a student loan and I ahd it in 'default' for a while. It took a LONG time to get it out of 'default' to a 'current' status. I have mine through AES.
