Student loan repayment recently resumed, and millions of borrowers have a new monthly expense after a three-year pause (Source: studentaid.gov). For many, this added financial challenge comes amid historic inflation and rising cost-of-living expenses (Source: cnbc.com).
A recent study by Credit Karma found that 45% of federal student loan borrowers are expected to go delinquent on their student loan payments once the pause ends (Source: money.com). 53% of federal student loan borrowers say they are already struggling to pay other bills such as their mortgage and auto loans (Source: usatoday.com). With so many borrowers in such a vulnerable position, now is the time to ensure borrowers and their families have the support and resources they need to navigate their unique financial circumstances.
Personalized Support Is Key
When it comes to student loan repayment, each borrower faces a different set of circumstances. Combined with the often-confusing nature of repayment plans, it can be difficult for them to find the information they need on their own. Because of this, it’s important for borrowers to have access to personalized help for their specific situation. While student loan servicers are traditionally borrowers’ best first contact for 1-on-1 assistance, long hold times and confusion about who to contact can deter borrowers from reaching out for help (Source: npr.com).
