Will Student Loan Defaults Affect a FINRA Series 7 License
My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Florida, but soon to be delaware
I am a graduated student debt serf with 100k in loans both private and public at about 50k each.
Even though I learned nothing from my experience, I am not here to contest that, merely to ask for advice which would cost me a LOT of money.
I am currently in deferment on all my loans and make about 49k per year. I am considering default. My monthly payments should be 1k per month but I am right now going to be shelling out about 500 a month. This means that soon I will be screwed financially with barely enough to eat after bills.The kicker is that my new position means I will have to be pursuing my series 7. If I get my 7, then default but do not pursue bankruptcy, can I
A: Lose my job
B: Lose my license
C: have a chance in hell of paying less than I am forced to pay now
I am considering defaulting on the private and public loans and letting them garnish me on the public and putting off the private garnishment til the 11th hour. I realize this will tarnish my credit however I do not care for credit and have others who can care for that need.
Regards
Re: To Default or Not to Default
This isn't so much a legal question, as a question for your financial adviser.
Oh - you don't have one? Get one.
FWIW, you need to look at the Brunner Test. Discharging student loans is not easy.
Re: To Default or Not to Default
have you looked at doing an IBR (Income Based Repayment?)
If not check what your payments would be http://studentaid.ed.gov/repay-loans...sed/calculator

Financial advisors do not give this kind of advice, bankruptcy lawyers do. I work for a bank. Secondly I didn't mention discharge. Please stick to the topic

Having good credit is not a requirement for FINRA licensing (bankruptcy being another matter). What might your employer do? You would have to ask your employer.

Would I be garnished badly? How much are they allowed for private and public

ROFL, first bad credit may disqualify you from licensing. Second, you are not even close to a hardship situation. Many families live on half of what you will have left. Thx for playing though.
