New student loans

A good news for past, current or future loan takers with a new amendment to renegotiate your monthly student loan repayment bill to a maximum 15% of your discretionary income.

These new benefits will be affected from 1^st of July. This will regulate the student loan payments for millions of Americans. These benefits were signed into law in 2007 as part of College Cost Reduction and Access Act. They include:

• Low interest rates on need-based (subsidized) federal student loans. From 1^st of July the interest rates on subsidized federal student loans will decrease from 6% to 5.6%. That’s 2^nd from four annual cuts in this interest rate and it will continuously decrease down to 3.4% till 2011.
