Yes, you can. However, you may be just delaying the issue without solving the cause, because you eventually will have to pay the loan. In addition, you are adding the costs of fees, interest rates, late payment charges, and compounding interest to the cost of your original purchase. If you choose to do this, cut up all but one card and pay that one off each month. This will help you improve your credit rating and help you avoid taking student loans for other expenses.

Many times the money for a student loan is transfered directly from the lender to the University. Therefore you would be unable to do this.

These are available to many people even if they have bad credit, they just have to have equity in the home. Another option would be for them to goto a credit consoling agency. They may be able to help them pay off their credit cards or get the rate reduced or payments combined. Henry
