11 years ago, graduated from college - fell in love, moved -had a baby, left the guy and did the single mom thing with an autistic child and defaulted on my student loans - Now Im at the end and the collection agency keeps changing the rules.


Hi. I have been behind on my student loans before and had pretty good luck making payment arrangements. You might want to contact them and see if they can defer the past due and let you start out as being current. That's what they did for me and it worked out well. Also, there was no more reporting to the credit bureau.

I have been taking some student loans for college. I am not really concerned about them as of now, because I am planning on studying for at least 6 more years. A lot of things will change until then. I am planning on taking a Master's degree and hopefully that will provide me with a good job, so I can afford to pay off my student loans without too much hesitation :D

Hi,
I absolutely agree with most in the forum that you should try and contact your creditor and try to make payment arrangements. Additionally, you may be able to apply for a hardship deferment. I have had to do that with one of my student loans and I just had to prove that I was not getting the income needed to make the minimum payments. Now that student loan was from the state of Kentucky. i wish you the best of luck!
