All Things Being Equal - It Just Can't be Perfect

I put my gov't student loan into forbearance but my sallie mae sig loan - they won't allow that. I have to pay this months bill. This means with them, I will have paid over $600 when I file. Although the amount over will be small - $100 and change.

If I don't pay this months bill they will likely jack up my interest rate.

Would the trustee go over such a small amount? Or am I stressing for no reason?

You are stressing for no reason.

Wow, that's interesting: I've been forbearing on my Sallie Mae loans for years. Maybe it's because I paid on them for years that I "earned" some forbearance time.
But hey, I know the credit markets are in turmoil right now; maybe this is part of the credit crunch. But please: just double-check that.

it's a sallie mae sig loan - not the same thing as a gov't student loan. Basically it is an unsecurred debt that somehow found a loophole in the 2005 revisions that made in not dischargeable. When I lost my job they wouldn't even let me put it into deferrement like my gov't student loan did.

It's a totally different animal.
