DIRECT STUDENT LOAN

I havn’t actually paid any money out of my pocket towards interest. However, I did take out a new loan which paid off my old one. They are from different companies, but they are both still direct loans. I technically paid the intrest off by borrowing a new loan. Can I take the student loan interest deduction for this year?

My brother age 18 going to ucr wants to acquire a student loan and my father will co-sign for him. He has good credit. What are some good student loan companies that have the lowest interest and no hidden fees? Any information would be great?

I’ve been through Sallie Mae with the tuition answer loan before, and I am leaning towards them. But with this economy, is taking out a private student loan risky, and can I expect the interest rates to be higher?

I have only a little credit history and my parents credit is horrible, but I desperately need a private student loan. What company is most likely to qualify me?
