help for student loan payers from Consumer's Union [View all]
*from CU email to me*
Are you or a family member struggling to pay student loans? We're here to help.
Register for The Borrower's Hotline next week, then pull out your paperwork and get ready to dig in. We'll help you untangle your complicated problems and find a path to reasonable repayment.
If you've got big student loan problems, you are not alone. A recent study found that nearly a third of student borrowers who are supposed to be making payments are at least 30 days behind.
If you or someone you know -- friend, family member, social connection -- is struggling to pay student loans, register for The Borrower's Hotline. We'll have trained volunteers, lawyers and loan experts standing by.
Register to call our student loan hotline for borrowers!
After you register, you will get instructions to help you prepare for your call to our hotline. In order to give you information about all your options, we need you to pull out some of your paperwork before you call.
You may have already been victimized by people claiming to help. That's why we created The Borrower's Hotline. Finally, you can call someone who has no financial relationship with any lender, servicer or agent. With all the misinformation out there, its no wonder borrowers don't understand their rights and responsibilities.
We are just here to help.
Register for The Borrower's Hotline. It will be available next week.
The week of May 18 we will launch a national ad campaign designed to direct borrowers to our hotline, where you and others like you can get help. We will provide unbiased, truthful information, and we're not taking a cut of the money at stake. We just want to help people!
So take a moment and register today, follow the instructions, and be ready to call in next week.
Sincerely,
Christopher Casey
