Can a defaulted student loan be consolidated?
-
Asked by Julia

Best Answer
Consolidate with a more family based financial institution. Try for a building society or a credit union - if you explain your situation with them they would be more than happy to work something out for you. Also whenever you fall behind on payments or feel you aren't going to make the payment contact them asap, do your best to avoid defaults as they can seriously hurt your credit rating. Hope all goes well for you and the bub :)

Best Answer
You just have to check into things and see what you can get. Some FA will pay room and board, some don't. Some will pay for books, some don't. Since your dad works there he should be able to refer you to someone in the FA office.

Wachovia has one of the few no fee private loans. Citibank now has fees with CitiAssist, and Chase Select may have fees depending on your credit history.
