URGENT: CHECK YOUR STUDENT LOAN STATUS!

With layoffs and uncertainty hitting hard, don’t let student loans sneak up on you. A quick check today could protect your credit and future opportunities.

Hey Friends,

I know the job market feels a little heavy right now.

Between recent layoffs, slower hiring cycles, and navigating the emotional toll of uncertainty—it’s a lot. And if you’re based in the United States, I wanted to personally flag something that might not be on your radar this week but really should be:

👉 Student loan payments are back, and millions of people are at risk of defaulting.

The Department of Education will restart collections on defaulted loans beginning May 5, 2025, including wage garnishment and Treasury offsets (seizing tax refunds, federal salaries, and Social Security benefits) > READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE HERE!

According to a new Associated Press report, borrowers who don’t act soon may be referred to debt collection. That can damage your credit score—which doesn’t just affect loan approvals but can impact your ability to rent, or get a car etc.

The good news? You still have time to get ahead of this.

✅ Quick Action Plan for U.S. Borrowers:

  1. Log in to StudentAid.gov
    Check your repayment status, confirm your loan servicer, and review your current plan.

  2. Look into an income-driven repayment plan
    These can reduce your monthly payments based on income and family size—helpful if you’re in transition or looking for work.

  3. Pull your credit report
    Visit AnnualCreditReport.com to request your free credit report from Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian.

  4. If you’re behind, don’t wait
    Reach out to your servicer about hardship or deferment options. Programs like Fresh Start exist to help borrowers avoid default—but only if you take action.

This isn’t about fear—it’s about protecting your future.

Checking on your student loans might take 10 minutes today, but it could save you months of stress, or a credit hit you didn’t see coming.
