You can use StudentLoanList to obtain donations from parents, family and others ! The StudentLoanList is designed to give our registered users privacy and anonymity. However, if you are not shy about friends and loved ones knowing about your massive student loan debt, then tell your parents, grandparents or perhaps that rich uncle – or anyone else that has extra money – that you are registered on www.studentloanlist.com. Tell them that you would love for them to make a donation toward your student loan debt. You can tell them that the website is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week !

I previously wrote about how some individuals with student loans can have them discharged if they should  unfortunately become permanently disabled.  What a wonderful relief this must be to someone who has had the trauma of becoming disabled !  But wait, apparantly it is not that simple. A woman in New Jersey had her $91,000 debt discharged but then she was informed that the $91,000 would be reported to the IRS as “cancellation of debt income”.  A more in depth article on this subject on yahoo.com  states that  ”The Department of the Treasury has specifically stated that student loans cancelled due to the Death and Disability Discharge (Section 437(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965) are taxable”.   However, it appears that if you have yourself declared “insolvent” prior to the debt discharge, there may be a chance that you will not be taxed, but you must know to declare yourself insolvent, or the insolvency exclusion may not apply to you. So be sure to consult an attorney or accountant if you are considering filing for a disability discharge.   To read a  yahoo article on this subject, click here.

Just received a $100 donation from an anonymous donor. The lucky recipient is a student from University of  Texas Health Science Center. Congratulations !!

The numbers are staggering - watch this clip  of Brian Shactman giving statistics about student loan debt  on  MSNBC  ”Business Before the Bell”  on  March 6,2012 .  The numbers are amazing.  YouTube link  

Hopefully your experiences with your student loan lenders have been pleasant, but if you have had problems with  billing, confusing advertising and collection by private student lenders then you may have thought about making a complaint.  The  folks at the  Consumer Financial Protectin Bureau are now handling complaints about private lenders.  If you have had problems with federal student loans they will also take your complaint but will send your information to the Department of Education to be evaluated.
