If a husband and wife are both on the title but only the wife's name is on the mortgage and the house goes into foreclosure will the husband's credit be affected?

Someone made a big mistake when they gave only the wife a mortgage. The lender can foreclose on only her half interest in the property, not the husband's interest. The lender's interest will then depend upon how the couple held title. Depending on the state where the property is located a tenancy by the entirety would create the most difficult stuation for the lender. You should speak with an attorney to determine the status of that mortgage and your rights in your particular state.

When the money for the loan is received it is recorded as cash. Payments are not recorded until the actual payments are sent out.

There is no loan payable or interest payable accounts for cash basis accounting.

What types of student loans are available in the US?

There are two broad categories of college student loans: loans based on financial need and loans not based on financial need. College loans based on financial need are advantageous because they have better terms and tend to have lower or fixed interest rates, which are subsidized (the government pays your interest while you are in college and for six months after you graduate). Therefore, you will not accumulate as much debt with a need-based loan and it helps that they offer more flexible repayment plans. It's a good idea to feel out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) when applying for student loans to make sure you are eligible for a need-based loan.

College Loans Based on Financial Need:

Federal Perkins Loan:

The Federal Perkins Loan is an institutional, campus-based loan that is administered directly by the financial aid office at each participating school. In this case, your school is the lender, even though the loan is made up of government funds. The Perkins Loan has a low interest rate, currently set at approximately 5%.

Subsidized FFEL Stafford Loan:

A FFEL Program Loan is one type of Stafford Loan. Funds from your Federal Family Education Loan (a.k.a. FFEL) Program Loan will come from a bank, credit union or other lender that participates in the program. You'll need to choose a lender if you obtain a FFEL Stafford Loan (today many lenders offer online loan applications). Schools that participate in the FFEL Program will usually have a list of preferred lenders. Because the loan is subsidized, the government pays the interest that accumulates on the loan while you are in school and during a six-month grace period after college.

Subsidized Direct Stafford Loans:

A Direct Loan (or the Federal Direct Student Loan Program) is another type of Stafford Loan and works similarly to the FFEL Program, only in this case the federal government is the direct lender. Similarly, the Subsidized Direct Stafford Loan means that the government will pay the interest while you are at school and for six months after college.

College Loans Not Based on Financial Need

Unsubsidized Stafford Loans (FFEL Programs and Direct Loans):

These loans basically work the same way as the subsidized Stafford Loans, except for one major difference: This time you have to pay the interest, although you can defer the payments until after graduation.

Federal PLUS Loans (FFEL Programs and Direct Loans):

This is a loan for parents, in which your parents take out a loan to pay for your schooling. PLUS Loans are available through the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program and the Direct Loan Program. The Direct Plus Loan comes directly from the U.S. Department of Education while the FFEL program works through a bank, a credit union or another lender that participates in the program. Generally, your parents can borrow up to the total cost of your attendance, minus any aid received. If the loan is approved (your parents must have an acceptable credit history), the money is sent directly to the school and repayment starts within 60 days after the final disbursement of the loan.

Private or alternative loans:

Private education loans are available to students, usually at higher interest rates than the federal loans described above. Colleges and universities may provide a list of private loan sources; you can check with banks or other financial institutions with which you have accounts to see if they apply. Although they are not necessarily considered college financial aid loans, for many families these loans are a key way to afford paying for college.

If you get a loan do you have to pay it back?

Yes, especially if the loan was witnessed, and very much so if there is any written record of the loan. When you borrow, you pay. This is the way of commerce. If they do sue you, and they are successful, you could also be held accountable for the court costs and legal fees.

Can a defaulted student loan be included in a bankruptcy if it has been purchased by another creditor?

It would be a waste of time and money. The higher education amendment act made student loans non dischargable in Banruptcy Court. You would have to prove a major financial hardship to have it considered. It's next to impossible.

A consolidation loan will allow you to get an income sensitive payment that will fit your budget, or you can file for deferment or forbearance.

Can the grown children of a deceased person live in the house and just assume the payments without notifying the mortgage company after spending all of the life insurance money that was to be applied?

You need to have your parent's estate probated in order for legal title to pass to the heirs at law. You cannot insure the premises until you have legal title. If the premises are covered by an existing homeowner's policy and any damages occur, the proceeds will be paid over to your parent's estate, not you. If there are other heirs you are depriving them of their property and that can cause legal problems for you that may be costly to resolve. If your parent died owing any debts, they must be paid before any property can pass to you. You will be required to publish a notice of death in the local paper.

If someone gets injured on the property you have no protection if they sue since you are not the legal owner of the property. A creditor could open a probate and make a claim against or sue the estate and you could lose the property. On the other hand, if you do things the right way and probate the estate so that you have legal title, you will be able to take advantage of a state homestead protection to protect your primary residence from creditors.

You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate in your area. You should note that by not doing things properly you are inviting legal trouble that could prove to be costly.

Can a bank foreclose on a mortgage when the person on the loan dies leaving the home to the living trust where trustees are keeping the payments current?

You need a lawyer. As far as I can remember, as long as the loan payments are kept up to date that bank has no foreclosure recourse. What should happen is that the bank should transfer responsibility for the loan payments to the daughters after probate/reading of the will. If the daughters collectively do not meet the banks requirements for a loan in the amount remaining due it becomes a whole other can of worms. Do yourself a favor and get a lawyer.

Can you claim student loans on bankruptcy filing?

No. and Yes. The default on your prior student loan must be addressed and the loan rehabilitated before you're eligible for more student loans.

The bankruptcy would only affect you if you had a defaulted student loan that was written off in the bankruptcy. Otherwise, bankruptcy doesn't prohibit you from applying and received federal student loans.

Student loans are NOT automatically written off in bankruptcy and take extra steps with the courts.

What is the usury law?

Christopher Peterson, a native Utahn who is a University of Florida law professor and an expert on the high-credit industry, says states always imposed usury caps until recent decades - and Utah abolished its usury cap only in the early 1980s.

Can student loan be discharged in bankruptcy?

The Bankruptcy Code used to say that student loans could be discharged if they were more than 7 years old AND some other criteria were met. In the past few years, the Code was changed and now the Bankruptcy Code says (in 11 USC 523):

  • "(a) A discharge ... does not discharge an individual debtor from any debt- (8) for an educational benefit overpayment or loan made, insured or guaranteed by a governmental unit, or made under any program funded in whole or in part by a governmental unit or nonprofit institution, or for an obligation to repay funds received as an educational benefit, scholarship or stipend, unless excepting such debt from discharge under this paragraph will impose an undue hardship on the debtor and the debtor's dependents"

This means that you can only discharge student loans in bankruptcy if you can show that repayment causes an undue hardship on you or your dependents, and this does NOT simply mean "Gee these things are hard to pay." I read a case once where the debtor became paralyzed from the waist down, and the Bankruptcy Court did not allow him to discharge all of his student loans since he could still work a desk job. It seems that you need to be unable to work anymore to have much of a chance to get student loans completely discharged, but this my vary from jursdiction to jurisdiction.

If your home is foreclosed by the bank can they also take and sell another piece of property that was not included in the foreclosed mortgage?

No. Generally a bank has obtained a judgment to foreclose on a mortgage covering a specific property with the dwelling or building. They only have the right to take the property covered by the mortgage. They have no right to take any personal property.

In some jurisdictions the bank may go back to court for any deficiency if the foreclosure auction brings less than was owed on the mortgage. In that case the bank may win a money judgment that would enable it to take other personal property you own to satisfy the judgment. However, most banks never go that far and are satisfied with the foreclosure.

What financial options are available for college other then grants loans scholarships and jobs?

There are two (2) additional options available for college other than grants, loans, scholarships and taking a job. These are as follows:

* Financial Aid Programs (based largely on need, these programs are run by schools and are responsible for helping over 50% of students in college)

* Assistantships (similar to a job, however, tuition reimbursement is given for the work you do at the school, typically amounting to 10-15 hours per week)

Can a student loan be discharged when you become disabled?

Depends on the student loan type and whether or not your disability is total and permanent. I have a new york higher education loan.
