student loan info


when you elect to compromise on a student loan that is in collections, reducing the total by paying it in one lump sum... what are the drawbacks to this? (how does it affect your credit rating and suchforth) thank you


Debt collector will be marking your student loans in collections with the credit bureau. It is the same like any other debts showing your credit in a derogative manner. Besides, settling the debt in less than actual delivers R9 rating. In my view, try to deal with the Dept of Education and make payment arrangements with them.

FYI...if your account is assigned to CA, you do not have any choice to work with the guarantor or DOE.

When you settle on your student loan, it may reflect as settled. It will still be a negative rating. Keep in mind that you will receive a 1099 for anything written off and you will have to file it with your taxes next year.
