DIRECT STUDENT LOAN

I friend of mine got a Direct Loan Plus for his college son, this year, and last year. My friend said he did not use the money from the Direct Loan Plus, last year and doubts he will use it this year. My friend never saw the money. It was not deposited in his his account.
My questions are:
1. Can the student acess the Direct Loan Plus without his parent’s signature or knowledge?
2. Where is the money deposited that this Plus loan provides?
3. Does the parent have to sign, when he acesses the Direct Plus Loan, at the time of the disbursement, of the cash?

if you consolidate, dont go threw an agency, you can do it straight threw the department of education,, its easy, and cuts out the middle man,,, so cheaper, you can set up your consolidation income contingent,,,,, they will base your payments on what you can afford, the direct link to them is http://www.loanconsolidation.ed.gov/borr…
i dont know about the particular place that contacted you, but many of them use names that could easily be confused with the dept of education, or something official,,,,, i went threw it when i was out of work due to a fractured knee,, they wanted money up front, before they would tell me my payments, never told me i could do the same thing direct threw the dept of ed (well i can understand that, lol , they lose money)
the dept of education will base any payments on your income tax return
ps: if you do this, read any mail very very carefully,,,,, i would still receive paperwork, from agencies, that looked very official! always make certain before you sign anything,,,,,,,, for the most part, with consolidation threw dept of ed. ,, you do everything online,, except sign a consent to view IRS records

this is for my student loan

In terms of loan repayment, no. Officers are generally not eligible for the Student Loan Repayment Program (although there may be a few exceptions for certain jobs). It will you give you a steady income to repay your loans though. And if you deploy to a qualifying location (or are activated if in the reserves), certain Federal loans can be deferred until 6 months after you demobilize.
