Nonprofit Debt Management Credit Counseling Providing Low Cost Student Loan Help
Lighthouse Point, FL (PRWEB) July 24, 2014
Debt Management Credit Counseling Corp. http://www.dmcconline.org, a nonprofit credit counseling organization (DMCC), announced today that it is providing free and low cost services to help federal student loan borrowers identify and implement affordable repayment options. The U.S. Department of Education offers various repayment options to borrowers who are struggling to repay their student loans. The options available, and the corresponding repayment terms, depend on many economic factors. DMCC provides borrowers free counseling and education to help identify the options that may be available to them. Low cost services may be requested to help borrowers implement their best option.
DMCC’s online calculator, which estimates the monthly payments under various federal repayment options, is the first step for borrowers seeking assistance. Using the calculator, borrowers can easily identify the option that may be best fit their budget. Taking a few minutes to fix what can become a 25 year problem is especially important to those borrowers whose student loans are in default. DMCC also provides links to information about each option’s requirements, costs and consequences. “One of the biggest obstacles that borrowers face is knowing where to start”, said Phil Heinemann, DMCC Executive Director. “Loan servicers do not always volunteer information about all the options available and more importantly, which one is best for you. The federal student loan websites and the options presented can be overwhelming. Our goal is to educate borrowers on their repayment options and help them implement the one that is in their best interest.”
DMCC cautions borrowers who are looking for help with their student loans to avoid debt relief companies charging high fees for such services. The repayment plans available for federal student loans are available at no charge through the U.S. Department of Education. However, the complexity surrounding the process, and consumer reluctance to speak with lenders, causes many borrowers to seek help from aggressively marketed debt relief companies that often charge excessive fees for their services.
DMCC provides its student loan services along with free personal budget counseling and general financial literacy education. Debt management plans to assist consumers with the repayment of credit card accounts are also available. Lower credit card payments obtainable through debt management plans, combined with budgeting, is an option that may provide sufficient relief for student loan borrowers to enable them to balance all of their monthly payments.
Borrowers looking for information about their student loan repayment options should go to the DMCC Student Loan Center or call 866-204-0520, Monday through Thursday 9:00am to 6:00pm ET or Friday 9:00am to 3:00pm ET.

Are we really competing globally? Prospective international student decision making?
London, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 2 May 2013
Today Hobsons the leader in recruitment, communication and student success solutions for higher education announced the key findings of the first survey of international students to the UK; Competing Globally: Understanding Prospective International Student Decision Making.
Duncan Findlater, Director of Product and Client Services said, “To date, there has been little research and therefore poor data on prospective international student behaviour and decision making. Working with our partner universities, we have been able to mobilise a unique data set of prospective international students.”
The competition for international students is becoming increasingly complex and is under the spotlight like never before.
There is a perceived threat to the UK from courses in English in non-English speaking countries and government initiatives in Canada and Australia to attract more international students.
In March 2013, over 70,000 prospective international students who had enquired within the last two years to 15 different UK universities were asked about their perceptions and expectations of study in the UK.
Key findings include:
The primary motivation for students wanting to study in the UK was to improve job prospects in their home country. Only 6% were identified as being primarily interested in moving to their study destination permanently.
78% of students could switch destination country if visa regulations were tightened.
There are seven definable and distinct types of students looking to study in the UK, each of whom weighed information they have on the country and the university in different ways.
Students overwhelmingly choose course before country; critically nearly three quarters decide where to go after they apply, meaning that there is still significant scope to influence their final decision post application.
The most important source for information is the university website followed by direct electronic communication; the latter was more than twice as important as social media.
The main countries also considered by students looking to study in the UK were the US, Canada and Australia. Other European countries were considered by less than 1% of students.
Duncan Findlater: “This survey has allowed us to put student decision making and expectations of UK study in the spotlight for the first time. The international student recruitment market is one of fine margins and anything that we can do to better understand student decision making, to allay their fears and encourage their hopes will be beneficial for our own institutions and the UK as a whole.”
