I used VSAC (from Vermont) for loan.I consolidated and got 24.15% interest which doubled my school debt.Wrong?

This debt is both from unsecured and secured Stafford loan VSAC obtained for me. Can I reverse the consolidation back to my old rate (near 7%) ? My debt jumped from 25,000 to 50,000 (unless I pay back fast).

if a student consolidates educ loans,starts repayment, then returns to school, can repayments be suspended?

My daughter is starting nursing school in January, ‘07. Her grace period for loan consolidation ends in Nov. 06. She plans to start repayment in Nov/Dec as required, but wants to suspend when she begins her nursing course in January. Thus, the question, can repayments be suspended? If so, when she begins payments again, at what rate will she be paying—when she left off or at the new rate when she restarts?

Help needed quickly! Are there any groups that will help with school loans and debts?

My younger sister graduated from college a few years ago but is not able to pay back school loans especially now that she has a child. Myself and our family isn’t in the position to help financially so we’re at a lost.

Are there any consolidation groups (like there is for credit card debt) that can help lower her payments and work with her to figure out a budget? Thank you very much!

I’m 21 & need help with my debt ASAP to get back into school. Any suggestions for the best debt consolidation?

I can’t get a loan without a co-signer and unfortunately I don’t have access to one for miles. I’m trying to get back into a SUNY school who screwed me over on a medical leave so now I owe over 6 grand of unpaid balances to the NYS attorney general where the school sent the bill to be collected legally. I’ve tried everything from a salliemae loan to an alternative loan from my local bank, everything requires a co-signer which I do not have. I’m currently looking up debt consolidation web links for help ASAP. Any other help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks for reading all of this, I really want to go back to school and it’s very frustrationg dealing with so many financial difficulties.
