Garnished Student Loans


IT might be in here somewhere but I am horrible at looking things up sometimes. Can you consolidate a garnished student loan with a nongarnished one?

Soaplady, is there a time limit that a debtor has to rehab the loan?


A rehab can be done at anytime. You have to make 9 payments for Staffords and 12 for Perkins loans. You must have a balance of at least $1000 after you complete the rehab payments. Minimum payment is $50/month. A standard payment for rehab is generally considered to be a minimum of 1% or your loan payment over 10 years (120 months) If you cannot afford a standard 1% payment you are entitled under the HEA to "reasonable and affordable payments." You will more than likely have to provide proof on income and expenses....pay stubs, and full financial disclosure.

When rehabbing with a garnishment in place, you are required to make rehab payments over and above the garnishment.
