you can request that your loans be deferred. they can usually defer them for one to three years, so you can have time to get your feet under you to be able to make the payments.  you can also ask them if they will work with you on the monthly payment amount.  they may be able to let you pay a smaller amount each month.

if u are approved by the federal government, your schools approval comes next and they usually are the reason for delay because of accounting or other reasons - usually u should get the check before or after the first week of school - some schools will not send the checks until they are sure of student enrollment and attendance

Unfortunately, these processes can be very slow. Call the company with whom you filed the form and ask what the status of your application is and if there's anything else you need to submit to document your circumstances.\n\nIf the loan in question was a Federal loan, you might consider speaking to a Financial Aid administrator at your former school. Schools often have their own contacts at loan companies (special school-only phone numbers, or a designated client services representative). Or ask your Financial Aid Office to do the talking: Lenders will be less willing to jeopardize their relationship with a Financial Aid Administrator (and risk losing the business of an entire campus) than they are to brush you off.  Sad, but true.

First, did you send it to the Nebraska Service Center?  Make sure you sent it to the right place.  All I-730s are processed at the Nebraska Service Center.\n\nSecond, did you follow the instructions on assembling and mailing the application? See http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/fieldoffices/SCNational/index.htm#H\n\nThird, did you pay properly? \nThe Service Center will accept money orders, personal checks, and cashiers checks for payment of fees. The Service Center cannot deposit cash or travelers checks. Be sure checks are signed and correctly dated. Post-dated checks are acceptable as long as the date on the check is no more than 5 days in advance of the date the check is received. http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/fieldoffices/scnational/index.htm#H\n\nYou can call USCIS at 1-800-375-5283 to find out whether they received it and the I-797 got lost.

Yes, check with your lenders. It doesnt matter if your semester started or not as long as your enrolled. However b careful some lenders won't send the money directly to you but instead to the school.

The first thing to do is, in fact, contact your lender.  However, as long as you are enrolled on at least a half time basis (6 credits) each sememster, your loans should be deferred.  Your school should report your enrollment status to the National Clearinghouse, which is then reported to your lender and guaranty agency.  An ideal website for you to check is http://www.nslds.ed.gov/  \nYou can check your loan status and enrollment status.

I am 99% certain that is a special loan program administered by your school.  As such, you won't find much information about it here (or elsewhere online) unless you talk to another student at your school or, better yet, your Financial Aid Office.  The terms and conditions of this loan (including the disbursement schedule, which is what you're asking about) will be established by your school alone.\n\nSee, the "normal" alternative loan process is this:\n1. the student contacts the lender and applies for the loan\n2. the school is sent a loan application to certify and either says "yes" or "no" to it.\n\nBut, in your case, it sounds like your school offered you this loan themselves. The other factor that leads me to believe that this is a school administered program is the generic name of the award and the word "elig" after it (suggesting that your school has established their own eligibility criteria/loan limit for the program).\n\nIf you want to know when your loan will be disbursed, just contact your Financial Aid Office.  It's a fair question.  In fact, if your classes have already started and you haven't gotten your money yet, there may be a processing delay that you need to resolve.

In order to consolidate you have to find out who your lenders are for each loan. You can do this by contacting the school for which the loans were given. If you have the same lender for all loans then you have to consolidate through them. The school's financial aid office can give you The numbers. You may pay the same place, but the lender could be different. If the lenders are different you have the option of choosing who you use. In that case you could ask the school who they recommend. I personally know that Sallie Mae is a good company that offers consolidation. You could try and call them. http://www.salliemae.com/apply/borrowing/smartloan.html \nthat is their website to apply for consolidation on line, and there is a payment calculator. Just keep in mind that if your loans are in their grace period, and you consolidate before the grace period is over you will have to start making payments.

It depends on the state and how you have elected to get your return.  In california a direct deposit return takes 2-4 weeks where as a check being mailed takes 4-8 weeks.

Hi, RecoverySue:\n\nFirst, your credit report is NOT the best indicator.  Don't rely on that.  Sometimes, it takes months or even years (if ever!) before a creditor reports to a credit agency.  If they don't report on a regular basis, you could still owe money and be delinquent, and never know!\n\nHopefully, you still have your loan paperwork.  If so, contact the phone number listed ASAP.  In general, I've had good experiences with student loan companies, however, they have hundreds of thousands (millions?) of accounts so don't rely on them to follow up with you.\n\nIf you don't have your loan paperwork, contact your college for the contact information for the loan company.  They should have it.\n\nIn general, the guideline is this:  If you dropped out of school DURING the allowable time and you were entitled to a refund of your tuition, then that tuition money should've been credited back to the financial aid office.  However, if you dropped out AFTER the deadline and you can't get any refund, then you may be (and probably are) still responsible for 100% of the tuition that was loaned to you.\n\nWhatever you do, don't delay in finding out.  The longer you wait, the harder it is to get copies of medical records and other information that may help strengthen your case.  Also, if you need to be put into a repayment plan, you need to know that ASAP before your loan goes into default (which results in higher interest payments, nasty letters, etc.).\n\nI've attached the link below to the FSA/US DOE Web site, which may help you, if all other attempts to contact the school and reference your loan paperwork fail.\n\nGood luck!

Student loans take time to pay back. Typically you are allowed up to 10 years. Don't think you owe all 18 grand immediately. \n\nSet up a monthly budget and pay your monthly loan payment on time. That way you won't default on the loan. \n\nUsually, you are given 6 months from the date of graduation from college before you owe your first payment on the loan. That way you have time to find a job, get settled into an apartment, etc. before the loan payments start.\n\nOne more bit of advice. Pay extra on the loan every month (towards the principal) if possible. That way it won't take as long to pay it all back, plus you won't pay too much extra for the loan.

As a customer service rep, I am sorry to hear about your frustration regarding your student loans.  Since I am not at work right now, I can speak my mind and give my personal opinion.  You may want to become acquainted with the Better Business Bureau if you have not thought about that before.  Allow me to introduce you (see links below).  You may want to consider filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.  You would have to explain the details in detail (literally), but you would get your problem resolved promptly.  If you have the proof (receipts, invoices, etc.) to show that the bank completed a double transaction, they will request that for resolution purposes.  If the bank is doing this to you, it's highly likely that there are other customers that have experienced similar frustrations.  Sure, there are periods of time when companies get busy and you may not get the immediate answer that you want, but reasonably, something should have happened within two weeks or so.  You had stated that your loan payment was in October.  This is now January...they should be getting a move-on AND I don't blame you for wanting to take your business elsewhere.  Try one of the links below for additional contact information.

You ask for a deference or forbearance. Most student loans are deferred till 6 months after graduation anyway, and if you haven't found a job by then, you just call up the owner of your loan and request an extension. Forbearance is sort of the same, but leans more toward the 'hardship' part of not being able to pay.\n\nSomething you should know though (and it's quite important) is that:\n\nEven if you defer or forebear, interest WILL continue to accrue (unless you have a Federal subsidized loan)... actually, I believe that even if you do have a Federal Subsidized Loan, interest continues to accrue AFTER the 1st deferment term expires.\n\nYou should also maybe look into a 'Sliding Scale Payment Plan", which allows you to make your payments according to what you're making/worth. For instance, if you have a part time job, your first year of payments will be REALLY low, and they increase with time.\n\nThe BEST way to go about this though, is to contact your lender, and find out what your options are. They're usually very helpful with such things.\n\nPS: If you have federal loans, you might want to look into consolidation AS WELL as deferment... Good luck.

I don't understand the sheriff in this. If they told you this then it is probably not true. Just another scare tactic. Get the amount in writing first, on their letter head and signed by someone there. Then and only then give them any money to settle. Get a cashiers check for that amount. Make a copy of that and the letter. Send the Cashiers check to them over night. Then once posted to your account then have your loan officer obtain an update on the account from the credit company they pulled from. This will take about 5 days total to complete. He or she can then re-pull an updated credit report to report the settlement was accepted on this account. Retain all information in a file for any further discussions with the collection company.
