<p>I am in the process of sending out documentation to back up some CSS Profile corrections. One of these is a copy of my home equity loan balance (line of credit). It seems that on the statement, you can also view the “available credit” - which is high. I worry that the school may see this and feel that I can tap into the HELOC to pay for school (which I may have to anyway) but I’m actually trying to show how much LESS I have in home equity with this loan. I’m trying to bring down my EFC. Anyone have any comments/suggestions? Thanks</p>
<p>The rule I have always been given by pros is not to disclose more than you are asked. Since this situation is a question in your mind, follow your instincts and get a statement from the bank without the available credit information on it.</p>
<p>cptofthehouse is definitely correct here. consoulers will tell you to just fill in what is asked for…that way you are safe from over exposing anything</p>
