Student Loan Forgiveness – I was approved!

Struggling with paying your Student Loans?

Student loans can be a pain, especially when you feel like the payments you’re making are just going towards the interest rather than the principal. In August of 2020, I shared with you all that I had stumbled across Chipper, a student loan automation company that specializes in helping student loan borrowers qualify for income-driven repayment plans and forgiveness programs. Thanks to their guidance, I qualified for student loan forgiveness. 

Teacher Loan Forgiveness 

 Jessica from Chipper was a LIFE SAVER. She explained the different repayment options that fit my specific situation. I learned about Public Service Loan Forgiveness and Teacher Loan Forgiveness. These are two loan forgiveness options I didn’t even know existed! After taking a look at my student loan scenario, she encouraged me to apply for the Teacher Loan Forgiveness program. Since I owed less than $30,000 in loans at the time and had been making payments throughout the last five years while working for a Title 1 school, this was the perfect choice for me. 

How Chipper Helped Me Through the Loan Forgiveness Process

Applying was so easy with Jessica’s help. She told me exactly what form I needed to print, sign, and send in. My application was sent straight through my loan service provider’s website. A few weeks later, I received a letter in the mail indicating that they had received my request. I kept in constant communication with Chipper throughout the process just to ensure that I wasn’t skipping any steps or missing out on any important details.

Unfortunately, 99% of people that apply for student loan forgiveness are denied because they fill out the application incorrectly and/or miss a step along the way. Chipper helps their members be part of that 1% who get approved!

I was forgiven $5,000 off my student loans!

About a month after I applied, I received a letter in the mail from my loan service company. I was approved for $5,000 off of my student loan debt! I checked my student loan account and the $5,000 had been applied toward my outstanding balance. I am beyond thrilled! 

As many of you all know, our family is growing by one tiny human in November of 2020. We are so excited about the $5,000 that our family doesn’t have to worry about paying off! This is definitely a motivation to continue making payments toward paying off the little debt that is left.
