Here are a few links that I thought you may find important. I will break them down into catagories.
Department of Education: www.ed.gov Direct Loans: www.dlservicer.ed.gov/ Who has my loans: http://www.nslc.org/students/default.htm http://www.nslds.ed.gov/ The first, while it is not as complete as the second, does not require a PIN number. NSLDS is part of the Department of Education and will have complete information, including loan balances and interest rates. You will need to have a Department of Ed PIN number to access and it takes about a week by snail mail to obtain. The last time I checked, they only used snail mail. A good and honest consolidation company: www.onestudentloan.com Honesty is a character trait that seems to be missing from a lot of the consolidation companies. Sallie Mae: www.salliemae.com Sallie Mae is the largest FFELP lender/servicer. What are the rules and regulations: http://www.edfund.org/schools/schools.cfm?...mmonmanual.html If you ever suffer from insomnia, try reading the Student Loan Common Manual. I guarantee you a good night's sleep (well almost guarantee anyways). I will add to these links from time to time Edited on 10/9/2006 to update the Student Loan Common Manual link. fla-tan |

Just an FYI -- the DOE has finally discovered e-mail and you can now get your PIN from them via e-mail. I don't remember exactly how long it took, but I think I got mine in no more than a day or so, if it wasn't immediate.
Hope this helps! -- ziggy

I did not see this link:
http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/DCS/default.html Which very clearly explains what can be done when in Federal Default and facing Administrative Wage Garnishment (for federal and non-federal employees), Tax Offset or Litigation. Do not forget the lovely Loan Locator Number which you can call and it will inform you who holds your student loans (if you've lost track or forgotten where they are) which is 1-800-621-3115.
