I recently defaulted on my student loan and contacted the student loan company to before they started garnishing my wages. I agreed to a reasonable monthly payment and made the payments on time when I noticed that my wages were being garnished as well. I contacted the student loan company several times and they kept saying that they would remove the garnishment and that my employer had recieved the paperwork. I contacted my employer’s payroll and the stated that they never got the paperwork and I should ask for a copy myself to fax it in myself just in case. The student loan company wouldnt give me a copy of the garnishment letter to the employer and claimed to have faxed the paperwork in. It has been 4 straight pay periods and nothing has been done meanwhile im still making monthly payments directly from my bank account. Is there anyway to stop this? PS: I dont need smart remarks about you should have paid in the first place, i know that much but i couldnt afford to at certain points.

How can a student with bad credit go about getting a good student loan for University college?
I am a student going to a community college on full scholarships. However, next fall I am planning to go to Mississippi State University. My problem is, even though I am only 19, I have already defaulted on a loan and stopped payments on a cellular phone contract. My credit isn’t even good enough to get a Wal-Mart card anymore. I am trying to get a hefty student loan to pay for my school expenses in my quest for higher learning. I would get a co-signer but no-one in my family has a good credit score either. So how would someone in my position go about getting a good loan for college?
Does a student loan and a bank loan affect your credit the same way?
I have one credit card ( revolving credit ) and I have one student loan ( fixed monthly payments ). I want to keep one revolving account and one fixed account. Would a bank loan that pays off the student loan look better as a fixed loan? I guess my question is: Do they both count as fixed loans or is the bank loan a more “authentic” fixed loan?
