8. Loans from the Government

OK, I think I recognize two names on the list of eight (Wells Fargo and UPromise).  Who are the others?

• The Student Lenders is powered by Simple Tuition
• OKPayIt.com is a payday lender with the slogan "You have better things to do than worry about money."  Hmmm...
• Lendingloans4you.com is powered by Simple Tuition
• imfunders.com, International Monetary Funds, "You may rent money..."
• LoansRUs
• GrantMeCash "designed to be informative resource for those interested in getting a government grant."

Well, hopefully this provides a good incentive for FAAs to create a preferred lender list for private (or alternative) loans given the options that your borrowers face otherwise (payday lenders, money renters and LoansRUs).
