My main questions here are whether there are stipulations about when the loan was taken, when the course of study finishes, and if having a cosigner affects whether one qualifies.
I'll just give my data and see if anybody can find this out for me: Say I have a student loan from Sallie Mae that was taken around January of last year, for a course of studies that terminate in October. One thing I'm wondering, I definitely make (way) less than the income, in fact I make pretty much nothing. But in order to get a loan in the first place I needed to have my parents co-sign, and I'm pretty sure they make more than 125k. Does the income of a cosigner come into play here, or can I still get $10k cancelled?
Oh shit you're right. Yeah I won't do that to my folks, guess I'll just pay it one way or the other. At least the monthly payment is pretty low, the problem is I have a fuck ton of other debt (which actually is to the federal government but not classified as student loans). The good thing is if I can actually land just an average junior software engineer type job, I really ought to be able to pay it in like a year. I'm just thoroughly pessimistic about everything with the way my life has played out over the last few years that I'll never even get a job or something.
