Student Loan Relief

THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS NO HELP WITH STUDENT LOANS?
THINK AGAIN, HELP IS HERE.

I have been practicing for over twenty years, and for those twenty years I have been telling clients that there was not a whole lot that could be done with student loans. Only under very extreme circumstances could that debt be discharged in bankruptcy. The student loan laws are difficult to understand and there are not many places to get answers. This bothered me. I was able to help people get out of debt but I was not able to give them complete relief from their financial troubles. I decided that I wanted to do something about it. I learned the ins and outs of the programs that were available to student loan borrowers. I implemented these programs into my practice and I have helped many people manage their student loans.

Why Deferment and Forebearance Is Not The Answer

The answer that most people are given when they seek help for their student loans is that they should put them into deferment or forbearance. This is a short term fix with long term consequences. While the payments are being delayed or in forbearance, often times interest is accruing during that time period. The only thing that this accomplishes is a higher principal balance when the deferral period is over thus creating a bigger problem.
