What happens when you dont pay your student loans and financial aid back on time?

Most loans have programs for deferral and for lowering your payments when you are unemployed or not making much money. So, the best idea is to call them and make arrangements when you need the help. However, at some point you will need to make serious plans for repayment. Look at your loan agreements. For regular loans, they can take you to court and you may end up having your pay garnished or otherwise diverted. For federal loans, there is no statute of limitations; you must pay them. Tax returns and credits can be accessed for payment. Both types of loans are reported on your credit report.

If you owed money on a student credit card but have now settled it will that affect your credit in the future?

You did not provide enough information for a specific answer to your question. In general: Settled debts show as (now) paid derogatory items. No creditor wants to take a loss after wanting longer than the original term of your loan to get their money back. So a derogatory loan that is settled for less than full balance is shown with that type of notation, and continues on your credit report until its' governing statute of limitations expires.

The statute of limitations restricts how far back the commission can go when collecting past due taxes and quarterly reports. Section 213.033(a) specifies that the commission cannot go back further than three years. An employer may voluntarily report and pay tax on quarters outside the statute of limitations, but they have no legal mandate to do so. When in contact with an employer, inform them of the statute of limitations if asked, but do not advise them to pay or not to pay for periods outside the statute.

What is the statute of limitations on a guaranteed student loan from 1983?

Quoting from a footnote to the Fair Credit Reporting Act...(located in Subsection 605, regarding statute of limitations) "The reporting periords have been lengthened for certain adverse information pertaining to U.S. Government insured or guaranteed student loans, or pertaining to national direct student loans. See sections 430A(f) and 463(c)(3) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, 20 USC 1080a(f) and 20 USC 1087CC(c)(3), respectively." The FCRA does says that, in general, statute of limitations is 7 years or "until the governing statute of limitations has expired, WHICHEVER IS THE LONGER PERIOD." For federally guaranteed student loans, that governing statutue is much longer than the typical 7 years. There is no statute of limitations on old student loans but they can be discharged under a few circumstances - death, total and permanent disability, military service, teaching, and bankruptcy - ONLY if you can successfully prove that repayment of the debt would cause "undue hardship" as defined by case law in your jurisdiction AND the first payment of the loan was due over 7 years ago. See website: http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/DCS/loan.cancellation.discharge.html I found this information because I, too, have a loan from the 1980s. I have not worked since 1989 because I got fibromyalgia and PTSD. I am now getting SSI and they keep harassing me and my neighbors. The new bankruptcy laws (Fall 2005) may change this information.

You got arrested for speeding in Colorado 103 in 65 Do the points carry back to Wisconsin Statute of limitations on traffic violations can they come get me or just don't go back for a year?

The statute of limitations doesn't apply for any period in which you are not in their state, so to "not go back for a year" simply extends the limit for another year.
