I have Canadian (government) student loans (in Canadian dollars) which I am still paying back from my Canadian bank account whilst I live and work in the US. Can I claim my student loan interest on my US taxes?
Also do I claim the amount in Canadian dollars?

I got my credit report today and it shows that my total credit amount is $300 and I have $296 available. After further inspection I noticed that only one credit card had reported a credit limit/max balance and that all of my credit cards hadn’t been reported since April. Is there an effective way to contact the credit card companies and get them to report accurate and up to date information to the credit bureaus? I feel that this issue is affecting my credit score, so I would like to fix this.

Thanks in advance.

How would an economic recession affect sporting events ?

Weather its football , Basketball, or any other sport ?

A property that I am a co-signer on is going into foreclosure. In a question I asked previously regarding this matter, someone pointed out that I will be sent a 1099-c form. What exactly does this mean? If the house is sold at auction will I owe taxes on the amount the house sells for or the amount that was owed or, if the house does not sell for enough, will I owe taxes on the amount not paid?

If we can sell the house before the foreclosure is complete, how does that impact the situation? I’m so confused.

And please, no posts about your tax or loan company. I will report it as abuse.

What Loan company will take over my federal student loans when the loans are in default so I can go back to school?
My loans are government loans from Saillie Mae. I owe them under $5000.
I heard about this company that will take over your school loans from them but I don’t know the name of the company.

I am at the point where I can’t get a federal student loan until I pay this off.

Wasn’t the bailout suppose to help homeowners refinance if they were facing foreclosure? How? Was there any agency or website to go to in order to start the process?

I keep seeing news about the fact that a recession may be coming. I am curious as to how this affects a normal person, not involved with the stock market etc. For instance, will prices go up for food, clothing, etc? Are there any ways to prepare for a recession? Any ways to benefit from a recession?

I currently have two credit cards, but would like to get one final one. I’ve been getting turned down for a few recently that I thought sounded good. What are some good cards and websites where I can get a credit card that almost every gets approved for? I’m young(21) and trying to establish some more credit. My friend got approved for a Best Buy credit card tonight and his credit isn’t that good. However, I just want a main card(for example: visa, discover) and not a store card. Thanks for any help.

My daughter has two very high interest student loans. Her credit won’t let her do anything, but I can “refinance” it with me getting the loan using my credit. But is it still a “student” loan that she can deduct. She is making the payments and her name will be also on the loan (ironically, she will co-sign for me). This seems to be some gray area once the loan gets moved around. Just want to make sure the “chain of custody” still makes the new loan interest tax deductable. Hope this made sense and thanks for your help.

The Student Loan Deduction allows you to deduct up to $2500. In 2007 I paid well over $2500 in interest and obviously want to take advantage of this.
