  • ✋ If your bill is wrong, don’t panic

    Millions of peoples’ bills have been messed up since payments restarted. If you’re one of them, don’t worry. The government knew there’d be screwups. That’s what the 12-month on-ramp is for—you can miss payments for a year without getting punished.


    (And don’t worry, the servicers are getting a slap on the wrist for their f*ckups.)

  • 📊 Poll results: Private loans are giving you hell
    Last week I asked what’s causing you the most anxiety. Most of you mentioned your private loans, which didn’t surprise me at all. Watch the video above for more advice. But in a nutshell, here are your options:

    1. You can refinance

    2. You can negotiate a settlement

    3. You can file for bankruptcy


    Still anxious? Here’s another video that dives deeper into all three options.
