    If these are government subsidized loans then they may be able to do so. She needs to read her loan papers.

    Ask them if they have a loan rehabilitation program. I defaulted on my student loans. I eventually got into a loan rehab program which removed the default, the black marks on my credit and got me rolling to paying them off.
