Deferment and Forbearance are temporary fixes (1-3 years) and do not address underlying financial issues which may require budget counseling.<\/p>\n
When you postpone your student loans, you may most likely be responsible for paying the interest that accrues (accumulates) during the period of postponement. This will increase the amount you owe and the question that you must ask yourself is: If I cannot afford to make my payment today, will I be able to make a higher payment in 1-3 years when my balance goes up?<\/p>\n
American Consumer Credit Counseling can help you explore your options regardless of how much you owe or your loan status (current\/delinquent\/default) including:
\n <\/p>\n
\n- Eliminating the loan altogether through loan cancellation<\/li>\n
- Considering other, more affordable payment plans or loan consolidation. Monthly payments on some income-driven plans can be as low as $0.<\/li>\n
- Postponing payments through deferment or forbearance programs to avoid delinquency\/default<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>
