I made a thread the other day about my Navy federal denial. The only reason listed was DTI.
I have 124k SL and they are deferred as I am taking some employer paid classes.
But I'm just brainstorming here, since they are calculating 1% of that balance which is $1250 approx, would approval be more likely if I were in income drive pmt plan which would make my pmts about $286?
If im missing a factor in this please let me know.
Thank you all for your help.

Well it depends on if the lender accepts IBR on student loans or not; for example FHA mortgages will not use any IBR instead they use 1%.
Unfortunately, I do not know what Navy's underwriting criteria for DTI and student loans (I don't believe anyone here knows).
Unpopular comment: even though they are lusted over on this forum, Navy is just one lender out of hundreds if not thousands lenders/CU, if they don't like your profile find another lender/CU that does like it.

I can definitely see what you mean about Navy. I want to build a relationship with a good CU and my family has had much success with them as have many on this board. I know my profile has a ways to go, and if the SL remains an issue for them consider banking with a different CU for credit purposes.
There is a forgiveness program through the department of education that I completed and was able to wipe out all of my student loans. I also helped my wife wipe all of her student loans the same way. It is legit, but if you had any hardship/disabilities during or after your student loans you could do this. They also have pretty good repayment plans. I would try getting them discharged if you could.

Unfortunately (and fortunately) I've had any disability issues. Never has any Unemployment hardship either.

This is the only one I can see being possible however it doesn't say how much of an undue hardship (does only making $29k last year with $124k in SL count?) or if this needed to be done at the same time as the original BK filing (I was discharged back in 2014).
