off the loan? I defaulted on a Perkins Loan. I consolidated everything, paid off the Perkins via the consolidation, but that *DEFAULT* is still on my student loan record. The Feds say "Yes, I can still get aid" but a school denied me aid because I defaulted. I've looked for answers, but I am getting mixed information. So, do I qualify for future aid, or am I stuck? Again, Defaulted, Consolidated (w/o Rehabing Loan as I didn't know this was an option), Loan in Repayment, want to go back to school, can I get assistance or not? Thanks!
