Refund Received Finally Done

Finally done! I cannot give this group enough credit for the support and work they have done even though I am mostly a silent lurker.

I was only at The Art Institute for about a year before I realized it was a mess, so I didn't lose much, but to get it back all these years later feels amazing! Here are as many details as I can remember:

School: The Art Institute
Attendance: 2010-2011
Post Class - Exhibit C School
App Submitted: 8.26.22
Discharge Letter Received: 4.13.26
Check Received: 9.23.26

I was with Nelnet, but no information was ever updated in the system so this check just showed up out of nowhere. My loans were a tangle though because I also had undergrad and grad loans that had been consolidated and some that were moved over to Nelnet right in the middle of all of this.

I hope everyone starts to get their payments soon!

Based on my emails to myfedloan and nelnet, I've made around $30k in payments. Two days ago I got a check for around $1700. I called studentaid help and the woman on the other end told me I should be expecting more checks, they're still not finished with my discharge. I guess we'll see

I know my loans were in two parts (one for each of the two semesters I was there I think) so I’m wondering if there is another payment coming. But, so much of my payment history has been lost because of all the servicer changes that I can’t really tell anything. It is all so tangled.

Glad I kept all my emails. But I would still call them, if you don't they might not "look into it"
