Well its time. I am taking my class on February 6th and have a couple of questions. I spoke with my instructor and he stated that I should fill the online app out before coming to the class. I have not finished the app as I had some questions. I have lived at my current residence for almost 4 years. The app states to list your past addresses for 5 years. I am know I lived at 2 other addresses, but not sure of the exact date. I know I can get relatively close though. Will this matter about the little inconsistency of the date? Also, I am currently on default with a student loan from salie mae.(grants that turned into loans cause I didn't finish school) I am have made arrangements with the company and am currently paying on this. After 9 months of payment I will not be in default and I can renegotiate my loan with salie mae. Well I am aware as of sept 1, 2009 that defaulted student loans are not a bounds for denial. The question I have is on the app it asks are you default on any student loans under the Texas education act. I thought that as of sept 1 it does not matter. Why are they asking this question?.

nothing?

Don't worry about getting the exact dates on your prior addresses. Just be as accurate as you can. Once you cover 5 years, you're fine.

You are correct; school loans are no longer disqualifying and the question needs to be removed. However, the on-line application won't let you leave anything blank, so answer it accurately. If the computer then tells you you are not eligible, then I would just exit the program and use one of the instructor's packets he/she will have at the class.

Please let me know if you can't finish the on-line application because of that question. I can let the appropriate people know.

Thanks,
Chas.
