Other Student Loan Issues
Not every borrower’s situation fits neatly into one of the above categories. Perhaps you have a dispute with your loan servicer about a misapplied payment, or you were denied access to an income-driven repayment program. You could be a parent or a cosigner, and you’re unsure of your rights and options. Maybe you just want to sit down and talk about your unique student loan situation with an expert, and get some legal advice. Whatever your situation is, just send me an email or give me a call, and we’ll figure out if I can help.
