You Might Have More Options Than You Think — But You Have to Look

If you have $35,000 or more in federal student loans and you've been out of school for at least two years, federal relief programs may apply to your situation. The first step is a review.

The Situation

Millions of Federal Loan Borrowers Are Repaying Debt They May Not Have to Repay in Full

Federal student loan forgiveness and relief programs have been evolving for years. There are income-driven repayment options, Public Service Loan Forgiveness, IDR account adjustments, and other federal programs designed to reduce or restructure what qualified borrowers owe.

But here's the problem: the programs are complex. The eligibility rules change. The application processes are confusing.

And most borrowers have never had anyone sit down with them and look at their specific loans to see what programs might apply.

This isn't about promises or politics. It's about making sure that if a federal program exists that could reduce what you're paying, you actually know about it.

That's what the Student Loan Review is for.

This Review Is Specifically for Federal Loan Borrowers

Not every borrower qualifies for every program. This review is designed specifically for people who match the following:

This Review IS For You If:

  • You have federal student loans — loans issued through the U.S. Department of Education (Direct Loans, FFEL Loans, Perkins Loans, or consolidated federal loans)
  • You have $35,000 or more remaining in federal loan balances
  • You are no longer enrolled in school — you must have completed or left your program of study
  • You are in repayment, deferment, or forbearance — not still in your grace period immediately following graduation

This Review Is NOT For You If:

  • You have private student loans only (from banks, credit unions, or private lenders)
  • You are currently enrolled in school
  • Your federal loans have already been forgiven or paid in full
  • You are actively in a certified PSLF track with no questions about eligibility

If you're not sure whether your loans are federal or private, that's something we can help you identify at the start of the review.

Federal Programs

Federal Programs That May Apply to Your Situation

Depending on your loan type, employment history, income, and repayment timeline, you may be eligible to explore:

Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) Plans

Federal programs that cap your monthly payment based on your income and family size, and forgive remaining balances after 20–25 years of qualifying payments.

Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)

Available to borrowers who work full-time for qualifying government or nonprofit employers. After 120 qualifying monthly payments under an income-driven plan, the remaining balance may be forgiven.

IDR Account Adjustment

The Department of Education has made adjustments to payment counts for some borrowers who were previously on non-qualifying plans or in forbearance, which may accelerate the forgiveness timeline for some borrowers.

Disability Discharge

Borrowers with a total and permanent disability may qualify to have their federal loans discharged entirely.

Program availability, eligibility requirements, and forgiveness terms change frequently. A review will help determine which programs, if any, may currently apply to your situation. Nothing on this page is legal advice or a guarantee of forgiveness.

The Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Your Free Student Loan Review

1

Identify Your Loan Type

We confirm whether your loans are federal (eligible for federal programs) or private (not eligible for federal forgiveness programs). Many borrowers don't know which they have.

2

Review Your Repayment Situation

We look at your current repayment plan, monthly payment, outstanding balance, and how long you've been repaying.

3

Identify Programs That May Apply

Based on your profile — loan type, employer, income, repayment history — we review which federal programs may apply to your situation.

4

Explain Your Options Clearly

We walk you through what each option could mean for your monthly payment, your total repayment, and your timeline to forgiveness (if applicable).

5

You Decide

There's no pressure to do anything. The goal is to make sure you understand your options so you can make an informed decision.

Who This Is For

This Review Is for People Who Look Like This

If you graduated from college or a graduate program more than two years ago, you're working full-time, you have federal student loans, and the balance feels like it's barely moving — this review is for you.

If you have other consumer debt beyond student loans, the Debt2Wealth strategy may also apply to your situation.

Our Promise

This Is a Review — Not a Sales Pitch

We know the space is full of people making promises they can't keep. "Get your loans forgiven in 30 days!" "We guarantee $50,000 in forgiveness!"

That's not what this is.

This is a no-cost review to help you understand your actual situation: your specific loans, your current repayment status, and the federal programs that may realistically apply to you. If we can help, we'll show you how. If you're already in the best situation, we'll tell you that too.

We don't charge for the review. We don't guarantee outcomes (no one legitimately can). We give you clarity.

FAQ

Common Questions About the Student Loan Review

How do I know if I have federal or private loans?
Log in to studentaid.gov using your FSA ID. All of your federal loans will appear there. If your loans don't appear, they may be private. We can also help you identify this during the review.
Is this really free?
Yes. The review is at no cost to you and comes with no obligation.
What if I've already applied for an IDR plan or PSLF?
Even if you're already enrolled in a program, it's worth reviewing whether you're on the optimal plan, whether your payment count is accurate, and whether any recent federal adjustments affect your timeline.
Will this hurt my credit?
A review of your federal loan situation does not require a credit check and will not affect your credit.
Do I need to do anything before the review?
It helps to have your FSA ID login and a general idea of your outstanding balance, but it's not required. We'll help you find what we need.
What if my loans are in default?
If your federal loans are in default, there may be rehabilitation or consolidation options available. We can discuss those as well.
Can private loans be forgiven?
No. Federal forgiveness programs apply only to federal student loans. Private loans are not eligible for any federal forgiveness program. If you have a mix of federal and private loans, only the federal portion would be reviewed for forgiveness eligibility.
Is forgiven debt taxable?
Federal and state tax treatment of forgiven student loan balances varies and is subject to change. Consult a tax professional about your specific situation.

The Review Takes 30 Minutes. It Costs Nothing. It Could Change Your Repayment Completely.

If you have $35,000 or more in federal student loans and you're no longer in school, you owe it to yourself to find out if there are options you haven't explored. This isn't a commitment. It's information.
