Will bad credit affect FAFSA eligibility and getting aid?
I'm 23 and paying off debt that I acquired a few years ago. The places I owe are the university i was attending, a bank, some check n go loan places, and few small medical fees and one returned check. I was never able to get Fafsa's financial aid before without a parent co-signing for a loan, which never happened (thus all the debt trying to work and go to school....) I was wondering if 1) I'm old enough to be considered independant and not have my parent's income taken into consideration. and also
2) if my bad credit will affect fafsa's financial aid, or do you still think i would be able to get a loan to go back to school?
p.s. i live in oregon....ive heard it's either 23 or 24 for you to be not counted with your parents for the income thing....
