if you can qualify for a mortgag with defaulted student loans how do you go about it?
The short answer is "yes."
…buttttt, it depends on your credit report. If you have a history of default then it isn’t looking so good. That is why we have a sub-prime market (think very high interest rates).
Find a mortgage broker in your area that will pull your credit. They will let you know if you are capable of getting a loan.
Best of luck

I have poor credit and I owe on student loans. I would like to go back to school but do not qualify for financial aid until I get those loans out of defaulted status…. I do not have the money of the back … Is there any way that I can get assistances, grants, etc?
You can consolidate them now through direct loans. consolidating does not take away your deferment rights. consolidation can take away someone s 6 month grace period (the 6 months from when you left school before you started getting billed) ths does not pertain to you since you aready started repaymnt. call direct loans for more info 1-800-848-0979

I defaulted on my student loans. I'm repaying them now though. I was told by the student loan company that my credit score would go up, but have read many articles stating otherwise. It sounds to me that the credit score is permanantly ruined after defaulting on a government loan. What's the truth? Know any websites that I could read about this?
If you do think my score could go up, can you give an estimate time frame? I have nothing else open on my credit report (only old closed accounts all in good standing). I can't get anything new to help because of the bad score. The defaulted student loan is the only bad thing I've ever had on my credit report.
This is what you need to do in order to raise your credit score at this point. First of all- yes you can raise it back up as well as you can bring it even further down- it all depends on your payments. Its good that now you pay on time and just make sure you stay on time with your payments and you make at least the minimum payment. But without any other creditors reporting it will take much longer to rebuild the credit score. Try to get a credit card or two, even with higher interest rate, and start using it and making monthly payments on it. This way you will have other creditors reporting at the same time and that will bring your score up faster. If you are unable to get the credit card now because of the low score- get a secured credit card- you go to any bank and you tell them you want to get a secured credit card from them. The way it works is you leave some amount cash with them (usually minimum is around $200-300 dollars) and that is your credit limit. After six months, as long as you make good payments they will make it unsecured and then other credit card companies will start giving you credit back as well.
Good Luck.

Once you have left school and your federal student loans are in repayment it is important to make your payments on time. Some students and parents get behind on their Stafford loan, PLUS loan or Graduate PLUS loan payments, feel overwhelmed, and before you know it you havenât made a payment in 270 days and your loans have gone into default. Your lender must make an aggressive effort to collect but if that fails your loan is turned over to the guarantor. Now it starts getting expensive.
The guarantor has several options at their disposal for collecting your loan payments
⢠US treasury offset â your federal and state income tax refunds may be garnished.
⢠Turn the loan over top a professional collection agency â fees and penalties may be up to 25% of the total principal and interest due.
⢠Wage garnishment â your paycheck may be garnished for up to 15% of your disposable income.
⢠Legal action â you can be sued for the balance of the loan plus court costs and lawyers fees.
⢠Credit agencies notified â a defaulted loan stays on your credit report for a minimum of 7 years.
Other penalties when your Stafford, PLUS or Graduate PLUS loans enter default:
⢠You lose any deferral and forbearance rights
⢠You cannot receive any further federal aid
⢠Generally your loan is due in full upon defaulting
Even if you pay your federal loan off it will still be noted as defaulted, paid in full on your credit report and counted as a black mark.
Defaulting on your federal loan must be avoided if at all possible. If you are having trouble making your payments contact your lender, they may be able to help you work out a payment plan you can afford. Consolidation may be your best option in the long run, it lengthens the term of your loan which lowers the payments and has several repayment plans to fit anyoneâs budget. Contact Federal Education Services about a Stafford, PLUS or Graduate PLUS loan consolidation before you slip into the default abyss.
