Our children are in debt way over their heads because of student loans and no jobs. You need to establish a government and private consolidation program for the government to provide to them to lower their loan payments. My son has his Master’s Degree and owes 7,000 in private and government loans. My daughter owes ,000 in private and government loans. His payment is over 00.00 a month and her payment is over 0.00 a month, they both have a couple of part-time jobs making about 00.00 a month. How is it going to be possible for them to live? Our future depends on them and if they are in debt now, what kind of future is there going to be.
Debt consolidation and student loans question?
I’m trying to repay my debt but I am having a very hard time. I have about 40k in debt including interest I’ve accumulated (over estimate, to be safe) most of which is 1 private and 1 federal student loan (probably 35k worth) and the rest are utility bills that are years past due. I’m in my twenties, not a home owner, and currently not a student. Most all of, if not all of, these debts have already gone to collections. I work a job with unsteady hours so I’m never sure how much my pay check will actually be for, this makes it very difficult to budget. Not to mention, I simply don’t make much money. I’ve been actively looking for a higher paying and steadier job but haven’t had luck, yet.
I was wondering if debt consolidation would be a good option for me. I’m wary because so many other people here on yahoo answers have said that they are scams that ruin your credit rating and leave you owing more than you originally did. Is this true? If so, are there other ways to consolidate your debt that are safer? I’m told bankruptcy isn’t an option for me because it will not cover student loans, the vast majority of my debt. Is this true? My biggest worry is my student loans, I feel confident that I could pay off my past due utility bills.
So my main question here is, what is the best option for an impoverished twenty something to pay off crippling student loan debt?
I really want to go back to school and finish my degree, but I don’t know how I could possible afford going back to school when I’m drowning in so much debt from past student loans.
