Federal repayment paperwork

Federal Repayment Programs Exist.The Paperwork Is What Stops People.

Income-driven repayment, consolidation, annual recertification, PSLF employment certification — each one is a different form, a different proof of income, a different deadline. We assemble the file, submit it, and stay on your servicer until it posts.

The honest problem

The relief is federal. The friction is clerical.

A missed recertification date can reset a payment overnight. An unsigned employer form can erase months of qualifying credit. A consolidation filed in the wrong order can undo years already banked. Borrowers rarely lose these programs on eligibility — they lose them on paperwork nobody explained.

How it works

Three steps, then it's off your desk

You spend a few minutes answering questions. We spend the hours on forms, income documentation, and servicer follow-up.

Step 01

Four questions, no documents yet

Balance range, servicer status, employer type, and the outcome you want. Nothing to upload and nothing owed to look.

Step 02

A written program summary

We map your answers to the federal tracks you appear to qualify for — IDR, consolidation, PSLF certification — with the trade-offs of each spelled out.

Step 03

The packet, prepared and filed

We complete the forms, attach the income proof, submit to your servicer, confirm receipt, and calendar the next recertification before it sneaks up.

Programs we prepare for

Federal Programs, Filed the Way Servicers Want Them

These are federal programs, free to apply for on your own. What you're paying us for is the preparation, the filing, and the follow-through.

Income-driven repayment

SAVE, IBR, PAYE, ICR — we prepare the application with the income documentation your servicer will actually accept, and file the annual recertification on time, every year.

Consolidation, in the right order

A Direct Consolidation Loan can unlock programs your current loans lock you out of — or wipe out credit you've already earned. We sequence it so it helps instead of hurts.

PSLF certification, tracked

Employment certification forms prepared, signatures chased, and qualifying payment counts checked against your servicer's record so discrepancies get disputed early.

Borrower stories

Filed, posted, off their minds

4.9Based on verified borrower reviews
I'd started the income-driven application twice and abandoned it twice. They asked for four documents, filed it, and told me the exact date my new payment would post. It posted.
DMDanielle M.County health worker, PSLF track
They were upfront that I could do this free on StudentAid.gov. I told them I'd rather not, and they handled the consolidation order so I didn't lose the payments I'd already made.
RTRobert T.High school teacher, 11 years in
My recertification deadline is the thing I would have blown. They emailed me a month out with the forms already filled in. That reminder alone paid for the fee.
