    Fucking Student Loans...I'm Fucked.

    Besides wasting four years of my life I now have $16,000 in a defaulted loan.

    I contacted this fucking company (ACS) numerous times to tell them of my address change, they made no attempt at contacting me to let me know the loan was going to be sent to collections. Fucking thieves. Now I'm basically fucking screwed. I'm too young (no pun intended) and own a small business so I can't even think of filing bankruptcy. My credit was ok until this bomb was dropped on it. Now I have $35k in a car, $5k in Federal loans, $2k in credit cards on there so another loan is out of the question.
    The $16k for Student State loans are due immediately. I don't think any debt consolidation is going to deal with defualted loans.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated. This fucking sucks.

                  Check into grants and forgiveness loans available through your state or federal government. Go and speak to a financial advisor about your situtation and see if he/she can help you get your situation improved. Banks and finance companies don't want to write off bad loans, they are 99.9% of the time more than willing to work out some kind of payment plan to help you get the loan paid off.

                  Just my 2 cents, good luck!

                      Dude this has nothing to do with money management. I admit I don't have 20k put away so I could just pay this thing off, but I had more than enough to handle the monthly payments. They fucked me over they made no attempt at contacting me which is illegal.

                                                          just get another student loan. I think they call them loan consolidators, I was way behind on my student loan too and they refered me to another company who just took over the loan and gave me a new one at 5% interest - 10 years.

                                                          dont worry you'll get it worked out. There are millions and millions of people who default on student loans.

                                                              It's not their obligation to contact you, especially for non payment. A registered/certified letter from you would have provided proof that you attempted to change your address. Also, most payments to credit type institutions have space on the coupon for you to change your address.

                                                              Having said that, if it's in collections, call the collection agency. They would rather collect money from you than write it off as a bad debt or incur the legal fees to take you to court.

A registered/certified letter from you would have provided proof that you attempted to change your address. Also, most payments to credit type institutions have space on the coupon for you to change your address.

                                                                                          Having said that, if it's in collections, call the collection agency. They would rather collect money from you than write it off as a bad debt or incur the legal fees to take you to court.
                                                                                          Actually they are contracted by the state and they are required to notify you. I was on their website. I guess I'm going to have to contact the collectors. Any tips in dealing with them? Are they going to want money up front?

I was on their website. I guess I'm going to have to contact the collectors. Any tips in dealing with them? Are they going to want money up front?
                                                                                                                          If they operate like most collection agencies....or even the IRS...it's not out of the realm of possibility they will put you on a payment plan.

                                                                                                                          They will most likely use scare tactics to get you to pay immediately, using the threat of legal action.....be brave and polite and you might make it through.

Go and speak to a financial advisor about your situtation and see if he/she can help you get your situation improved. Banks and finance companies don't want to write off bad loans, they are 99.9% of the time more than willing to work out some kind of payment plan to help you get the loan paid off.

                                                                                                                                  And no, they aren't responsible for contacting you. You knew you had the loan. You didn't pay it. What did you think had happened, it just magically disappeared?

The car is a year old and I'm looking at a big hit from depreciation. I'd probaly end up screwing myself over even more by doing so.

                                                                                                                                                      You shouldn't have bought an expensive car in the first place when you're young, its a huge depreciative asset. People buy a nice car thinking they can afford the monthly payment ASSUMING that their monthly expenses doesn't change until something unexpected hits. You're better off selling this car and finding alternative transportation for now until you get this problem solved.

People buy a nice car thinking they can afford the monthly payment ASSUMING that their monthly expenses doesn't change until something unexpected hits. You're better off selling this car and finding alternative transportation for now until you get this problem solved.

This loan actually defaulted back in September but I was still hurting from the loss of my fiance so I'm only now doing something about it.

                                                                                                                                                              Peaches. Its their responsibility...trust me. No need for googly eyed Smileys.

They deal with some defaulted loans...they are going to get back to me regarding my situation. I was going to look into refinancing my car but thats out of the question figuring I have 16k in big red letters on my credit report. Whats the best way to go about selling it? Private sale? I heard about CarMax.com but they don't have on in MA.

                                                                                                                                                                              At this point, it's irrelevant to discuss what you should have done.

                                                                                                                                                                              Since you are not hurting for money, seek legal advice. Have your lawyer contact them to offer recompense in the form of payments.

                                                                                                                                                                              This way, you will also have it in writing that, once you've paid off the defaulted loan, they will take the big red X off your credit report.
