Too Good to be True
As college debt soars, so do the number of scams trying to separate you from your money. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reports a sharp uptick in scam complaints since late 2024 when payments resumed after pandemic pauses and Biden's forgiveness plan causing confusion. If you have student loans it pays to beware.
Know Their Tricks
Scammers can duplicate government seals, making their emails look official. Among their false promises is their claim of fast loan forgiveness if you pay an upfront fee ranging from $500 to $1,500 – illegal under federal law – plus demands for sensitive information like Federal Student Aid logins.Understand that no one can offer immediate loan forgiveness. So, make sure any debtrelief offers are legitimate before taking action. Delete the emails and hang up on phone calls from pretenders. Lenders offer ways to make paying back student debt easier.
