The Joys of Student loans

Ops I forgot to let them know I wasn’t working enough and well wasn’t making any payments. Last week I got a call from Ed Fund. A couple weeks ago I got a call from Ed Fund the people who deal with a couple of my loans, I had explained to them my sistuation, with work and money. They decided it was best to put me on deferment. This works well. I felt bad for the operator I really wanted to give her a straight answer, but shoot how could I when I know my work assignment is temporary, and it could end at any moment.
Both of my bank account show how little money I been bring in, I have both checking and savings accounts. Well today I received a letter in the mail from Ed Fund. I opened it and it appeared they still hadn’t received any of my information. I called them and got a sweet lady. To be honest, I think she be better at being a counselor or something closer in that line. She was so sweet. She cared and shared some of her struggles. She really related to some of the struggles I have gone through.
I am not sure how it happened, but this often happens to me. I will call to take care of things or people will call me, and then suddenly I am talking away to them about everyday life things. I know her manager probably wouldn’t have approved, but you know sometimes I think it better when you get someone like her. This is the type of person you want to pay your debt off just to help her day go better.
We ended having our Birthdays close to each other which was interesting. I know a lot of people with the same last name as me. I know only a few with the same birthday as me. It just seemed, we connected because she understand what going on with the cost of living increasing and everything else increasing that losing a job makes for a rougher time.
By the end of the call I knew I was all set for my deferment and would be receiving a little of when my payments would begin. I found out they received the forms on Saturday, took at least a week. I am not to surprised the mail took that long.
