Product Description
An estimated seven million Americans have accumulated nearly $81 billion in student loan debt over the past 30 years. Not all of these borrowers are fresh out of college; many are in their late 20s, 30s, and even 40s. Indeed, the amount of student loan debt facing Americans is pervasive, if not problematic. Fortunately, a number of creative ways exist to pay off this financial burden that, for many, goes on for years and years. In Free Yourself from Student Loan Debt, business writer Brian O?Connell outlines the best ways to do just that-as quickly and painlessly as possible. He guides readers through often overlooked but perfectly legitimate loan management techniques, including how to: ? "Consolidate" loans for easier (and lower) payments.
? Defer loans with no penalty.
? Take a "break" from student loans through a mechanism called forbearance.
? Get out of default status by making as few as six minimum payments.
? Fix problems that result when a loan isn?t paid, with no lasting impact on credit or finances.
? Convince financial institutions to "forgive" loans.
? Fight the government and financial institutions that claim student loan debts weren?t paid years after they were. With wit and wisdom, O?Connell backs up his guidance with case histories, anecdotes, information boxes, sidebars, and colorful industry profiles-all packaged together in one lively, user-friendly book. As a bonus, he offers 50 surefire tips to eliminating student loan debt.

 Every family needs this book June 28, 2006

This is one of those marvelous books that schools should send home with kids so parents have a fighting chance to get their kids into a good school AND afford to keep them there. Easy to follow advice is there on every page. I recommend this to any family who has a kid coming of college age.

If you are unfamiliar with student loans and are not finance savvy then this book will help you. If you already have a student loan and know your way around this book doesn't have anything to offer. In one section it teaches you how to create a budget. That's fine for a kid fresh out of school but I am having trouble with an old student loan and this book had even LESS information than the student loan website !!!Here is good advice... if your having trouble with your loan - call them they will help you, but dont waste the money for this book.
