Hello, I have about 5 very high interest loans. Rates range from 124% to 179% interest rate. Companies like cashcentral, rise, net credit and acecashexpress. I am not in default as of yet, but am about to be if I do not get help.

I have heard that there are certain tax deduction on some debt payments. Can I get tax deduction if I'm making payments on my student loans? I have recently started paying off my student loans - 6 months back.

After finding this forum, I decided to try some of the tools given. I was able to fight with the Tribal Lenders and WIN!!! It took a LOT of research and a LOT of guts, but it worked. This post is LONG- but it is ALL of the emails back and PLEASE NOTE- I had already paid the principle amount of this loan, plus A LOT!!! I was under the mindset that A. I took the loan so I have to pay it, period B. My fault. But when I realized that it was illegal, I decided to fight. ALSO- the FIRST thing I did was to submit a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Hey all, I'm a freshman attending University of Akron. I just learned that the government is planning to cut the Pell Grant Fund by $1.31 billion and is calling for a freeze on the maximum grant for the next 10 years. This would affect me and many of my good friends who otherwise would not be able to fund their way through college. If such legislation goes into place and my funding is cut, what are some other ways I can fund my way through college? Additionally, I found a petition urging representatives to strike down these proposed cuts and freezes.
