Your rights with student loan servicers

Federal student loan borrowers can switch to an income-driven repayment plan, ask for deferment or forbearance, and apply for forgiveness programs such as Public Service Loan Forgiveness through studentaid.gov. The Federal Student Aid ombudsman helps with disputes your servicer will not fix. Private loans follow the contract and state law instead.

Scam warning: Applying for federal repayment plans and forgiveness is free. Anyone who charges a fee, asks for your FSA ID or promises instant forgiveness is not to be trusted.
