    To pay just a portion of your loan (i.e. only the Provincial amount), you have to send a cheque and a letter stating you are only paying one portion of your loan (along with loan number and signature) to their head office. That's what the customer representative told me.

    Thanks for such a concise and straightforward video about loan repayment! I was wondering, would you know if other people could help make payments towards one's national student loan? For my case I'm a family doctor who has paid off my loan, but my wife still has a federal student loan. I still have room to take advantage of the rural loan forgiveness program, and was hoping it could be used towards her loan. Would you know if there's a way to do this (e.g. being power of attorney for her loan)? Thanks!

    • @BreakingBadDebt
      @BreakingBadDebt  11 місяців тому +1

      For the rural loan forgiveness program - it's not a lump sum amount that gets paid to you, it is automatically deducted from your federal loan and wouldn't be transferrable to another person's loan. If you're making extra income and want to help your wife, you an always gift her money for her loan or loan her your money and she can pay you interest.

    Great video
    One part was unclear for me
    If I "consolidate" my loan by paying off the entire OSAP amount with my LoC, does that affect my Tuition Credit? Or will my tuition credit remain that same?
    Thanks

    • @BreakingBadDebt

      Your tuition credit would still remain the same even if you paid it off with your LOC

    My study is ending in July if I pay loan right away, will I be charged interest?

    • @BreakingBadDebt
      @BreakingBadDebt  Рік тому

      If it's the Canada Student Loan then you won't be charged interest even if you didn't pay it right away. If it's OSAP, then interest starts to accumulate when your studies end in July but they won't ask you to start paying until November. If you paid those OSAP loans right away then no you won't be charged interest.

      Hi Muntaha, if you go back to full time studies you would need to apply for the Continuation of Interest-Free Status. For more info, to see if you're eligible, and the application visit: osap.gov.on.ca/OSAPPortal/en/A-ZListofAid/PRDR019241.html

    After graduating from my online class for Office Administration Assistant, this July, 2022, I started applying even for online jobs
    only but all the companies wish to have full time employees. I realized that my health is failing due to some underlying ailments like kidney disease, hypertension and diabetes with gout arthritis, my joints and muscles began to ache and with my age, 78 years old, no company is willing to employ me. My problem now is the repayment of my loan. I am jobless and have no income up to this time. My children advised me to go home to the pPhilippines because the cold weather here in Canada could cause more deterioration to my health. How can I repay my loan in January, 2023 with my situation?

    • @BreakingBadDebt

      Hi Cherrybell, sorry to hear about your situation. I would recommend giving NSLSC a call to ask about repayment assistance. This is the link for more info: www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/education/student-aid/grants-loans/repay/unable-repay.html

    Can a person go bankrupt on their student loans? And what happens if a person doesn't pay back their loans?

    • @BreakingBadDebt
      @BreakingBadDebt  10 місяців тому +1

      Hey, in Ontario you can only declare bankruptcy on your loans if you meet certain criteria: you have to be out of school for at least 7 years, or if you've been out of school for less than 7 years but more than 5, you can apply to the Court under hardship provisions.
