Subprime Loan

     Q:What is the definition of subprime loan?

     A:A subprime loan means lending the amount below the ‘prime’ rate of interest to people with low credit ratings. Thus it is given to people with an imperfect credit profile or the ones that are likely to be defaulters. This makes the recovery of a subprime loan very risky for the financial institutions, which lend these kinds of loans. Subprime lendings come in two forms: credit cards and mortgages.

     Content:

     This type of lending system evolved during 1993, when the financial institutions realized that there was a high demand for loans despite low creditworthiness. In a frenzied urge to earn more, the banks began lending below the prime rate even though many borrowers qualified for prime loan bracket. Today around 25% of the population of America falls under the category of subprime loan borrowers. The purpose of borrowing such loans is property purchases, cars purchases, remodeling homes, meeting living expenses or even repaying the high interest on credit cards. Read the rest of this entry »

Student Loan Default

     Students are not professional in loans.For example,I have asked many experts before I apply the loans.

     Consequences of Student Loan Default

     Repaying student loans provided under the Federal Student Aid Programs usually begins 6 to 9 months after a person graduates or drops out of school. In case of ‘The Smart Option Student Loan’, provided by Sallie Mae, the borrower is expected to pay only interest when he is in school, while after graduating he has to make both principal and interest payments.

     Lenders have their own repayment schedule, and any delay in making payments can have serious consequences. For instance, in case of Federal loans, which are repaid in installments, default on even a single payment can result in accelerating the repayment schedule for the remaining amount of the loan. The government can take away or ‘garnish’ 15% of a students disposable income as penalty. A portion of social security retirement benefits and disability benefits might also be withheld. Access to other  Federal loans may be restricted. Of course, both government and private lenders can sue a person for defaulting, not to mention the impact of such a default on credit scores. A student loan default can remain on record for 7 years. Hence defaults should be avoided at all costs.
