Recently a friend graduated from law school after 4 years of hard work. It did not take him long to find employment with the local States Attorneys Office. It is a good entry level job and he was thrilled to get it. After about 3 weeks on the job he started getting letters from the various banks that were retention his student loans informing him it was time to start making payments.
The four loan packages he had used to get his law doctorate amounted to a miniature more than 0,000.00. Each loan package had a dissimilar payment date and each had a dissimilar interest rate. Two were 15 year loans and two were 10 years. It was not long before the enormity of his student loan debt hit home. He was worried that he might miss a payment and truly wished the payment date was the same for each loan.

When he went to the local car dealership to purchase a good used car he was surprised to find that his credit score was too low to normal interest car loan. The four student loans combined to lower his credit score to 610. He would only qualify for the high interest High risk loan. He also had no choice but to pass on his vehicle purchase. He like many college students do not perceive the impact of several loans and a miniature employment narrative could have on a credit score.
