Debt counseling expert says student loan crisis is a “ticking time bomb”

By 
WEST SENECA, N.Y. (WIVB) – The CEO of the nation’s largest nonprofit credit counseling agency is sounding the alarm about the student loan crisis. Susan Keating is President of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC), and pointed to figures that show college loan debt has now reached $1.3 trillion.
As CEO of the NFCC, Keating is considered a foremost authority on the effects of consumer debt on Americans and the U.S. economy.
The financial services executive was in town, Friday, to talk about the state of the financial services industry with local banking officials, and the staff of the Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Buffalo, the local affiliate of the NFCC, at their offices in West Seneca.
Keating said young people saddled with college debt, which is second only to home mortgage debt–and more than what Americans owe on their credit cards–has become a drag on the U.S. Economy, standing in the way of buying homes, new cars, and other consumer goods.
The answer to the crushing college debt load is complex, said Keating, but one part of the solution could be making sure students and their families understand exactly what they are signing up for when they take out student loans.
Among the things she said they should know, “how long it is going to take them to get out of that debt, what kind of income levels they will need to support eventually paying that student debt off.”
Keating put it bluntly, when speaking about the college loan crisis, “$1.3 trillion, it is larger than credit card outstandings. In debt today, second only to mortgage loans, and it is a ticking time bomb.”
If you or a family member need help managing student loans, the Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Buffalo (CCCS) has a program that can help, and the agency offers a wide of array counseling programs to fit your needs.
CCCS President Paul Atkinson is the chairman of the NFCC’s Operating Committee.

    One of the options that students can take advantage of to pay for their tuition fees are Student loan relief without cosigner. Sadly, there are so many students out there without the relevant information on the best way to apply for these loans. As such, most of the applications for student loans without cosigners end up not being approved which mean more problems in financing their education.

    If you are an active military person or veteran and need financing to buy a home then you can take a VA loan. This loan has no down payment, no private mortgage insurance, competitive interest rates, and also relaxed credit requirement. If you want to take this loan easily then you can contact Rae Drake. She will help you to take VA loans without any hassle.
