In a word, no.
Sorry, but principal payments for such loans are not deductible.
And you can't deduct the interest on a student loan unless you receive a 1098-E form in the mail. Note that this is independent of how the loan is repaid.
Once you defaulted on the loan, it instantly lost it's "qualified" student loan status. Therefore, if you didn't get a 1098-E, the loan is no longer a qualified loan and nothing concerning the loan is deductible on any tax return.
