WHY DOES SALLIE MAE REQUIRE A COSIGNER FOR PRIVATE STUDENT LOAN CONSOLIDATION EVEN WITH GOOD CREDIT?
Feb 26th
It totally makes no sense. Even with better credit you are still paying through the roof!
“If you have a better credit history and a cosigner on your Private Consolidation Loan (or a cosigner with a better credit history), your interest rate could be as low as Prime – 0.50% (6.75% APR) with no origination or disbursement fees.
If you have fair credit history and no cosigner, your Private Consolidation Loan interest rate could be Prime + 6.5% (13.75% APR).”
I worked so hard to build up a good FICO score and need a good consolidation rate. My parents have awful FICO scores. What should I do?

CAN I GET ADDED TO A HOUSE LOAN ONCE MY CREDIT SCORE RISES?
Feb 25th
My credit is pretty lousy, and it will probably prevent me and my girlfriend from getting a house. She and her mother are applying for the loan, but she and I will be paying it off. After my FICO score rises as my bad marks drop off, will it be possible to add myself to the loan down the road for tax benefits?

WHICH IS BETTER TO PAY OFF CAR LOANS, CREDIT CARD OR PUT MONEY TOWARD MORTGAGE.?
Feb 20th
My husband and I have two automobile loans one at 4,800 at 4.9% the other at 14,400 at 6.15% and a credit card at 10,700 at 7.9% but we also have a mortgage. What I’m planning on doing is having my husband sign up for another credit card because the current offer is no interest till 2008 (including balance transfers, there is a fee but the max fee is about how much we pay for the finance charge in one month. What I don’t know is if I should put our tax refund toward bringing down the lower automobile loan so the 230 we put toward that each month can go to something else sooner or if I should put some toward the automobile and some toward the mortgage each month. We don’t know if it’s superior to pay the min on the mortgage and put more toward the other loans or put a tiny toward the mortgage and one of the other loans. And yes while doing all this I do put a tiny towards savings each paycheck. Forgive me for rambling but I wanted to be as detailed as possible. Thanks!
I’m not cancelling the current card the one I would be transferring to has an apr of 9.9%. So I would transfer what is left after the 15 months back to the old card.
