If I file bankruptcy (not to include student loans) is it likely that I can get *private* student loans later?

I have seen many people here ask if they can get Student loans after a bankruptcy, and I have seen many people answer that yes, it is possible and the federal loan application process does not consider bankruptcy. However, I need to know if a private lender (such as Sallie Mae) follows the same rules (i. e. doesn’t consider credit or a bankruptcy) in the application process? I live in California.

    yeah

    BS the federal loan application doesn’t consider bankruptcy. Stafford loans are guaranteed depending on need. If you need additional federal loans, those are based on your credit report. It will be very hard to get any loans, Federal or Private, after declaring bankruptcy without an endorser.

    If you file bankruptcy, it may be hard to get loans from a private lender. It is possible, but not guaranteed.

    no, all private lenders look at bankruptcy filings too. they will show up on your credit report therefore will be considered, best bet just wait until it has run off your credit in about seven years, sorry to give you the bad news.

    Call and ask financial aid, I had no problem with getting government student loans, but a couple of years had gone by and this has been 9 yrs. ago. Unless your in serious debt, I would consider other options, there are also some new repayment options for your student loans as of July 1. 2009. Whatever you do, do not default your student loans. Of course bankruptcies will not do away with government student loans or IRS debt.

    Private student loans will always require you to have a very “credit worthy” cosigner. If you can find one, even with a bankruptcy in YOUR history, you would prob be able to get a private student loan.

    Hello,

    I live in the US and i really have never seen goodness shown to me this
    much in my life as i am a struggling mum with three kids and i have been going
    through really rough times in my life and my name is Helen
    Peters and in all this hard times, a worse incident occured in my life as i
    lost my job which was my only means of survival and things became really bad as
    i had bills to pay and my last son suffered a knee injury incurred when he fell
    from a tree house and the doctors informed me that he needed a surgical
    operation for his knee so he could walk again and at this point, life was
    useless to me as i have no family and no one to run to and each night, i will
    sit down and cry till the break of dun until one day, i read an advert on yahoo
    answers of man that stated that he could help people in my shoes with loans and
    in my desperate situation, i had no choice but i had to try and so shocking and
    suprising, it was like an impossibility becoming a reality, i got a loan of
    $75,000 USD even with my bad credit within 48 hours and my sons surgery was done
    and thank GOD it was successful and now, i am okay and living in comfort with my
    kids and i said to my self, i have never ever seen this kind of wonder in life
    and i decided i will tell it to the whole wild world and i need every one to
    thank GOD for Mr Patrick Harvey, the man GOD used to rescue me and my family
    even when all hope had been lost and gone and i will say to every one, no matter
    how dark and sinful the world is today, there are still GOD fearing and reliable
    people on earth and if you are in my former situation or require a loan
    legitimately, i will advice you contact this loan lender and you can reach him
    via patrickharvey12@yahoo. com and i want you all to pray for this man for me.
