Loan deferment is a agenda in which the payments will be reduced or not be required to pay back for a exact number of time. The good thing about deferring your student loans if you lost your job, have forces duty or go back to school is that interest will stop accruing for that duration of time. You do not have to pay interest or the normally scheduled monthly cost during this time period. This alone can be a life safer to many Americans who find themselves in a prestige crunch and have too many bills.
There is also terms referred to as forbearance, this means that you can stop required payments for a specified number of time. The disagreement in the middle of forbearance and deferment is that you don't have to pay the required interest back on these types of loans. Yes forbearance will temporary hang your monthly scheduled payments but the interest will continue to add up and growth the equilibrium of your loan.
