Student loan forgiveness
KELVIN COLLINS
Traditionally, this is the
time of year when aspiring
graduates are planning their
walk across the stage to claim
their diploma. Shortly there
after, the student loan repay
ment process begins. However,
scammers are taking advantage
of recent changes to student
loan repayment programs and
news coverage in order to
confuse borrowers, tricking
them into falling for a variety
of schemes.
Currently payments are
paused on virtually all federal
student loans through Aug. 31,
2022, and no interest is accru
ing. But just because student
loan repayment is on pause,
doesn't mean that scams are.
Better Business Bureau en
courages graduates to carefully
research trustworthy sources
related to federal repayment
plans before giving any per
sonal information.
Watch out for companies
promising to reduce debt by
lowering payments through
enrollment in student loan
forgiveness or other programs.
They may also falsely promise
to apply monthly payments to
consumers’ student loans and
to improve credit scores- all
you have to do is pay a small
fee so they can negotiate with
the lender on your behalf. In
another version, dishonest
collectors claim they can save
money by consolidating loans
- if a minimal fee is paid. Keep
all of your personal informa
tion private and never give it
to an unsolicited source.
Protect yourself from student
loan scammers:
• Research the lender. Visit
BBB .org to read business pro
files and check out companies
before working with them.
The FTC has consumer edu
cation related to student loan
debt relief scams at ftc.gov/
StudentLoans.
• Report it. If you have been
a victim of a suspected scam,
report it at BBB.org/Scam-
Tracker.
• Empty promises lead to an
empty wallet and more debt.
Only scammers promise fast
loan forgiveness. Scammers
often pretend to be affiliated
with the government. Never
pay a fee upfront for help.
Never share sensitive informa
tion, such as your FSA ID.
• Find a reliable source.
Consumers can apply for loan
deferments, forbearance, re
payment and forgiveness or
discharge programs directly
through the U.S. Department of
Education or their loan servicer
at no cost, and do not require a
third party.
For more information visit
StudentAid.gov for federal stu
dent loan repayment options.
Student loans can be forgiven
only under specific circum
stances, so contact your lender
directly to see if any options
are available to you.
If it seems too good to be
true, it probably is. A com
pany that claims it can erase
student loan debt in minutes is
not being honest. This type of
scheme is similar to govern
ment imposter scams, watch
for the warning signs.
