A student loan can be rehabilitated by making 9-12 on-time consecutive payments to the servicer, which will require you to set up auto-payments. The loan is then brought out of default and all negative credit reporting is retracted. Penalities may be reduced, too. It's a good deal.

Avoid default altogether. The easiest way is to pay down the debt owed. The Federal Govt offer a variety of payment options to help you ease the burden. Deferement and Forebearance can help for short term, for which you wouldn't have to pay back the loan right away.

Pay the full amount owed plus penalties. That closes the debt. If you do not have that amount, then pay all past due amounts and penalties in full.

Most people cannot afford to pay the "full amount." A loan can be rehabilitated. See above.  add a comment

The fastest way to get a student loan out of default is to pay it. Obviously, you should pay the loan to avoid default in the first place. Most companies have a recovery department. You should get in touch with them to see what to do specifically.

Federal law governs the rehabilitation of defaulted loan, not the servicer/collections group. Most people cannot pay the amount owed, which is the problem. See above.  add a comment

I imagine that it would depend on the loan company and its policies.I would think that companies like sallie mae would be willing to work with you. Or defer it.

Best way is to repay the money immediately so it wont stay on record for longer than necessary. Student loans can interfere with the chances of obtaining credit in the future.
