Student Loan


Hello,
This is my first time submitting and my first time in a forum, so all help is welcomed.
I electronically signed a fafsa loan for my daughter 3 years ago, at the time I thought I was just verifing my financial status so she could get a loan. Come to find out the loan is in my name. I have defaulted on the loan. I know these are excuses but...here are my circumstances.
I had just recently been divorced, very low child support for my youngest, and my yearly income was under 30,000. I was just able to make rent a car payment and food.
So here I am now, jobless, and semi-homeless, I would like to go to school but I can't get a student loan.
What would be my first step in correcting this problem?
Thank you for your help.


Sounds like you took out a PLUS loan....Parental Loan for Undergraduate Students. In order to regain financial aid, you must either rehab this loan or consolidate it. Rehab requires 9 on time monthly payments.....takes roughly 10 months to complete. The other alternative is to consolidate which takes approximately 60 days. I always recommend the Direct Loan program...links are in the stickies at the top of the forum.
