I am going to go to online college. So I don’t need a car for that reason. But I do need a car to go get printer paper and school supplies whenever I need them. I would also like a car for reasons that are off the college subject. I have a son, and I need a car to take him to doctors appts, etc.

So can I use my federal pell grant or student loan to buy a car?
I need a car to go buy a laptop, printer paper, and other school supplies.

I live in California, and applied at the University of Phoenix online college.

Is student loan or grant money ever subject to a bankruptcy if bankruptcy was already put into effect?

Jan 25

Mark SingleyStudent Loans Q&A , , , , 2 Comments

In other words, if the bankruptcy was finalized in say September, and then in October money was received for a student loan or grant, could this money be pulled out of one’s bank account due to the previous bankruptcy?
Thanks Francisco, but I’m asking for a friend. The bankruptcy has already occurred, so I’m just asking about the money that could be subject to it after the fact….
Thanks for answering :-)
It would be nice if someone would actually answer the question. I have had one definite scam response and two that do not answer the question. the fact that the other two didn’t answer the question also makes them suspect. Obviously this is an area of concern that is exploited by people on Yahoo Answers. Too bad. Still waiting for a legitimate answer and have already reported one as an abuse.
Thank you very much RPG, for directly responding to my question!

Can I get a student loan/pell grant if from a state that I don’t live in?

Mark SingleyStudent Loans Q&A , , , , , 8 Comments

I live in Missouri, and owe for a student loan already. I desperately want to return to school and need a loan to do that. I have several friends that are telling me they are going back to school, and owe for a past loan too. When I tried to apply, it asked me to pay like bucks to show if I am even eligible. I have no problem paying that, but am just curious if it’s possible at all to get a student loan through another state.
And on top of that, I want to take the online classes right… the course I really want to take is not offered online through the state of Missouri, so I have to choose something else, BUT, it is offered online through the state of Kansas… can I do the classes for Kansas instead or do I have to be a resident of that state, even for the student loan/pell grant?
Thanks for your time!
Thank you not AnyOne…. yes my loan is default right now, but will check out the site you recommended and see if there is still hope for me!
Thank you to all of that submitted an answer to my question, I will still take all your advice into consideration! Have a Blessed Day!

Is it possible to consolidate my student loans and my credit card loans ASAP?

Jan 14

Mark SingleyStudent Loans Q&A , , , , , , , , , , , , 5 Comments

I have a lot of loans to pay back and I was just thinking about consolidating all the loans into one.
I have 2 credit cards ( one in collection , one almost in collection – hsbc and chase )
Then I got a student loan ( 3 of them – One citi bank , Sallie mae and Great lakes )

I am really desperate and stressed out because every single one of the above mentioned people keep calling me daily , and with my current job situation , i just paid the deposit to move into a new apartment because there was a shooting 10 feet away from my apartment door . My car payments are also very high ( 425/ month )

I need a plan and i was intending to sell my car , then pay off my credit cards ( one by one ) .
I had 3 credit cards in the beginning , but i paid off one of them few months ago .
How can i consolidate my student loans and 2 credit cards ?

I know it’s not possible to do them together.
but the payments i am making right now are just too much for me to handle with a 0/week paycheck on top of the rent and car payments i have to make . ( – for city bank, for chase bank , 5 for hsbc , for sallie mae , Great lakes – total bal = ,000( on forebearance )

STUDENT LOANS: Consolidating Fed. Loans with Sallie Mae Loans?

Jan 13

Mark SingleyStudent Loans Q&A , , , , , 6 Comments

I am currently paying too much for student loans! I just graduated college about a year ago and consolidated my federal student loans (subsudized and unsubsidized) with Brazos (referred by AES).
What I would like to do is consolidate my fed. student loans with my student loan I received from Sallie Mae so that I only have one payment to make per month.
Does anybody know of any companies that consolidate not only my Stafford loans but also my private loans? Even better would be a lower rate than I am paying now, but any advice will help!
