Unable to pay student loans


My husband went to Chiropractic school and acquired a huge amount in student loans...approx $270,000. He has been out of school for almost 4 years now and has been unsuccessful at passing his National Boards. His loans are now coming into repayment and he is by far making the money of a Chiropractor to pay the loans. Some are federal loans, which I know HE HAS TO PAY, but some are private loans. Does anyone know what he can do so he can postpone re-payments? I know he has deferred then as long as he can...and he tried to file for forbearance, but since his Father is a co-signer on the loans, they were not approved. PLEASE HELP US!!!!! Thanks.


You have to pay the private loans too and they are more difficult as they generally have no or limited deferment or forebareance priveleges...it has nothing to do with having a cosignor. The only thing he can do is see if they will offer a lower payment or increase his income by working a second job. You do not want to let them default....it will ruin both his and his dads credit plus the private loans will sue both of them for the balance.

Does he make enough to at least pay the private loans? If he can at least meet the monthly payments for the private loans, he can file for income sensitive payments on the federal loans.

Otherwise he'll have to take Soaplady's advice and find a way to increase his income. Sell stuff on ebay, take online surveys for cash, work at a gas station a couple days a week, anything to bring in more money.
