Hey John,
Yes, we know. It's April Fools' Day (watch out). But this info is no joke.
ICYMI: the COVID-19 emergency student loan payment pause has been extended through September 30, 2021. However, as the end of this suspension looks like it's drawing nearer, we anticipate a rise in scam student loan servicer calls and emails.
So we’re partnering with The Institute for Student Loan Advice (TISLA) for their #DontBeFooled day of action today, April 1!
Here are some resources to help you avoid the scammers:
