I think what pisses me off is that because the loans are in 'different jurisdictions' I have to pay them back differently and consolidation is out of the question unless you take out a conventional loan and pay them off. Right.

I make out four different checks, sent out to two places every month. RBC holds one set of loans, and NSLC the other set. My loan payments are $464 per month. In addition, I have a private U.S. loan for $240 per month. There are a lot of months I really struggle to make those payments!

In addition, living in the States, I do not qualify for interest relief and maternity leave here is only 12 weeks, but it's unpaid. I've begged them to consider it, but I get laughed at. My CSLs are the last bills I'm worried about paying!
