Private Student Loan In Default!?

Is it possible to make private student loan that has gone into default current?

We Answered:

You will have to go through the hardship program. But with that it will not be current until 6 months. That is because they will not take a payment that is less or more then the monthly payment. The only way to pay more on it would be to pay it off completely.
