For Venica K., a school social worker in Nashville, Tennessee, student loan debt had been a long-term burden. With approximately $110,000 in student loans, finding a path to forgiveness could make a significant difference in her financial future.
Venica learned about My Education Solutions (MES) at a women’s event in Nashville and connected with Sabrina, an MES team member, to explore her options. After MES reviewed her paperwork and got her approval completed for forgiveness later that afternoon. It was a tremendous relief to know she had taken care of the process before changes in the administration could affect her plans.
But there was still a moment of uncertainty. Venica would later receive an email from her loan servicer, MOHELA, saying her forgiveness had not been approved.
My Education Solutions to the Rescue
Concerned, she reached back out to Sabrina, who investigated the issue. She quickly confirmed that Venica’s loans had, in fact, been forgiven and MOHELA had made an error, with written proof from the Dept of Education that Venica K.’s loans had actually been forgiven, MES contacted MOHELA and forced them to revise Venica K.’s status, wiping her $110,000 of student loans away.
“I am still in disbelief,” Venica said.
“MES is here to help people receive the Justice that they are legally entitled to and cut through the paperwork and bureaucracy to protect our Clients”, stated Christina Randell, President of MES.
The experience reinforced for Venica how valuable it can be to have knowledgeable support when dealing with student loan servicers. While borrowers can handle the process on their own, keeping up with paperwork, communications and changing requirements can be challenging. Having someone who understands the system can help make a confusing process easier to manage.
Now, Venica is ready to enjoy the freedom that comes with putting her student loan debt behind her. She also hopes her experience encourages others to take action rather than put off exploring their options.
“Don’t procrastinate, move forward and make some new goals!”
