  1. No one will "take over" your loans. You will still owe the money to your lender when you are in forbearance. They will simply add interest every month while you are making payments.

    If you are asking about defaulting the lender will just contract out with a collection agency to start calling and hounding you to mail them payments. If you make 6 to 12 months worth of willing and reasonable payments you can ask your lender to "rehabilitate" your loan. This is when you are issued a new loan and pay off the one in default so you can get federal fin aid again. Again, rehabilitation can only be done after you have made 6 to 12 months of payments.

  2. When your federal educational loans are in default, you have several options:

    You can repay the loan in full.
    You can negotiate a new payment plan with your lender.
    You can "rehabilitate" your loan.
    You can consolidate your loan.

    Obviously option one is rarely attractive or possible for defaulted borrowers.

    Option two (renegotiate) should be investigated fully – most borrowers skip this step, but it's probably the best option for most people. Call your lender and ask to speak to someone in the "Workout" Department. Explain your situation to them (there's nothing unusual about it) and ask what options are available to you for switching to a graduated, extended or income-sensitive repayment plan. If your lender will agree to change your repayment plan, a few regular payments will get your default status removed, and the new plan may be easier for you to keep up with.

    Option three (rehabilitation) is really a specific form of a workout agreement. It probably won't help you much in your situation, because it requires an agreement between you and the lender that will allow you to make 9 consecutive on-time payments of some agreed-upon amount.

    Option four is everyone's favorite, but you must absolutely understand what a consolidation loan will do. To keep this utterly simple – a consolidation loan is a brand new loan that will pay off your old, defaulted loan. A consolidation loan MAY lower your monthly payments, but understand how this works. A consolidation loan never lowers your payments by wiping away some of your debt – a consolidation loan lowers your payments by stretching out the length of your loan. If you pay less every month, you'll make many additional monthly payments, and – in the end – you'll pay far more back than you would have paid on the original loan.

    As an example: Suppose I lent you $100 and you agreed to pay me back in 2 weeks by paying me $50 a week. You came back a few days later and explained that you weren't going to be able to afford to pay me $50 – is there something else we could do? "Oh, absolutely," I'd say, gallantly. "Instead of paying me $50 a week for 2 weeks, how about if you only pay me $10 a week for 17 weeks?"

    See – in the end, you'll pay me back $170 instead of $100 – that's how a consolidation loan works. But remember – we're not talking a $100 loan for a couple of weeks – by the time you pay that $5000 loan of yours back over many years, you'll pay a few thousand more than you might have paid if you didn't consolidate that loan.

    I've attached some information about consolidating from the Department of Education – take a few minutes to read it over. If you do choose to go this route, be sure to consolidate with a reputable lender (or directly with the government) and not with some fly-by-night operation that you learn about from some pay-per-click site shilled on Yahoo! Answers.

    Good luck to you!

  5. To have a mortgage loan you must have land involved, so no trailer park rentals. Lender's are not fond of mobile homes because they lose value – unlike a stick-built home which will appreciate in value. You are unlikely to find 100% financing for a mobile home. 90% or less is the norm and that is with good credit. Your interest rate will be higher as well.

    If you are buying this as an investment (in your own future-not as an investment property) you should look into a modular home. Anything but a mobile. You won't get out what you put into a mobile. That said, there are some very nice mobile homes out there.

  6. In an interest-only loan or mortgage the borrower only pays interest each month. This makes it cheaper than a conventional mortgage, in which part of each month's payment goes towards the principal and part goes towards interest. These loans have become popular because the monthly payments are lower, allowing borrowers to afford a larger home.
    However, these loans can be dangerous, especially in a down housing market. The interest rates are generally fixed for the first 1, 3 or 5 years. After that, they convert to a conventional loan, with a higher monthly payment. Most borrowers take on these loans because they assume they will sell the home before the interest rate increases. In a down market, they may not be able to sell. If they cannot afford the increased payment, they may have to default on the loan, and foreclose on the home. So, when the rate starts to adjust, you would need to refinance again. And, either get a fixed or another interest only adjustable. And, yes, I do believe you mean ARM. Although, if you have extra money every so often, you can pay down the principal in extra payments.

  7. Nope. It will no longer be a student loan then. You may be able to consolidate several student loans into another student loan at a better rate, but if you pay it off with a personal loan you'll be left with a non-deductible personal loan.

  8. I guess anything happend,Shito didn’t have a choice…he had to do what this stupid said:/
    But actually I’m not sure if they did anything sexual…maybe that guy was afflicting him,or something like that…or maybe I just love Shito too much and I don’t want to think things like that XD

  9. Federal loans are regulated by the government so all the rates are the same no matter what bank you take the loan from. Perkins loans are 5%. Stafford Loans are 6.8% and some of them the government pays the interest while you are in school. I'd stay away from any Private student loans, they are EVIL!
    Good luck

  10. Shito wasn’t rape.Toho is an exorcist and he use his power to torture shito.that why shito is always afraid of him

    Comment by 1anya — June 28, 2009 @ 10:58 am

  11. yeah, I thought the same thing. That was a gut-wrenching scene. I felt so bad for Shito when he said he was destined to be alone. But for sure, I assumed rape, too.

  12. Well Shito is 180 years old (or something)

    But you’d think he would either be a or bi sexual. Like after living for a certain amount of time you’d become bi (I think) and then a certain amount of time after that you’d become asexual (you dont like either)

  15. All I can say is, if you own the motorcycle, take it back. If he does, tell him to get a title loan. He can make payments but depends on what he still owes you.

  16. Nope, sorry, but personal loan won't qualify, as you will have nothing in writing to say that it is student loan interest.

  17. I'm not sure why you would want to get a home equity loan to pay off student loans. Typically interest rates on student loans are much lower than home equity loans. It is true that you can use interest paid on a home equity loan as a tax deduction, but you can also use interest paid on student loans as a deduction.

  18. When I first saw it I thought that Shito was raped… ((Not my poor baby!! TT-TT)) but really I think he was just beaten. Peach Pit loves to play mind games like that…. it is called “monster training” in the manga the Xu Fu just like to play with his perfect body… ;3
