FMC Private Loans
Date: Tue, 03/17/2009 - 19:47
I got three loans from TERI in 2006-2007. They were cosigned with my mother. They were also in Deferrment until I filed for Ch. 13 Bankruptcy last august. Now they are in default. (my attorney did not tell me this would happen, and I was stupid and did not do my research) Do I have any options about doing a settlement, etc for these loans? I need to get this taken care of so it stops hurting

Well, they cant try to collect from me or her for the next 5 years, so do you think that will make them more apt to settle?
Actually while you are in BK, they cant negotiate with you perio
Actually while you are in BK, they cant negotiate with you period. So settlement is out of the question until after the bk is discharged. Any discussion would be a violation of the bk stay.
Plus your trustee might not be happy about an account being settled outside the BK.
Also, keep in mind that your interest will be updated after the bk is discharged so your balance will be significantly higher.
