Mastery of Federal Student Loan Rehabilitation Programs

Getting out of default requires perfect execution of federal rehabilitation programs. We excel at:

• Loan Rehabilitation: Securing affordable payment amounts based on income and family size
• Full Payment Rehabilitation: Negotiating the lowest possible lump-sum amounts
• Direct Consolidation: Moving defaulted loans into new repayment programs
• Fresh Start Program: Utilizing temporary federal programs for maximum benefit
• Administrative Forbearance: Securing payment suspensions during rehabilitation

Income-Driven Repayment Plan Optimization

Most borrowers qualify for payments as low as $0 per month, but don’t know how to access these programs. We maximize benefits through:

• Income-Based Repayment (IBR): Capping payments at 10-15% of discretionary income
• Pay As You Earn (PAYE): Securing the lowest possible monthly payments
• Revised Pay As You Earn (REPAYE): Maximizing interest subsidies and forgiveness benefits
• Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR): The only option available for Parent PLUS borrowers after consolidation

Parent PLUS Loan Specialized Solutions

Parent PLUS loans have unique challenges requiring specialized expertise:

• Parent PLUS to Direct Consolidation: Unlocking income-driven repayment eligibility
• Income-Contingent Repayment: Reducing payments by 70-90% from standard amounts
• Public Service Loan Forgiveness: Qualifying parent borrowers in eligible employment
• Adverse Credit Appeals: Overturning Parent PLUS denials based on credit issues
• Discharge Applications: Pursuing closed school, false certification, and disability discharges

Loan Forgiveness Program Navigation

We identify and secure every available forgiveness opportunity:

• Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF): Qualifying employment and payment certification
• Teacher Loan Forgiveness: Maximizing benefits for educators in qualifying schools
• Total and Permanent Disability Discharge: Navigating medical documentation requirements

• Borrower Defense to Repayment: Challenging fraudulent or misleading school practices

• Credit Report Damage: Rehabilitating loans to remove default status from credit reports

Strategic Timing and Program Selection

Different programs offer different advantages depending on your situation:

• Rehabilitation vs. Consolidation: Choosing the best path based on credit impact and payment amounts
• Forbearance Timing: Strategically using available forbearance months for maximum benefit
• Recertification Optimization: Timing income documentation to minimize payment amounts
• Tax Filing Strategy: Coordinating married filing separately vs. jointly to reduce payments
