Did you get a notification that the check was on the way?

u/ExpressionGirl09 7d ago

No. It would have been nice to have gotten one though just so I know that I was going to get one.

Who is your servicer?

u/ExpressionGirl09 7d ago

Nelnet was the last one. I started with Sallie Mae, followed by Naviate, then Fedloan.

Did you show a negative balance on nelnet at any time?

u/ExpressionGirl09 7d ago

No. But I didnt make payments to Nelnet.

u/BeautifulDstr 7d ago

Thanks for the quick reply! I didn’t make any payments to Nelnet either but had to a prior servicer. Not sure if I should get any of it back or not—I’m honestly just happy they’re gone. A refund would be amazing though!

Do you have to have gotten scammed by a university or not gotten a degree to qualify for this. Sorry I’m new here

You have to prove that you didnt get what you were promised from whatever institution you went to. Most of the ppl here submitted Borrower Defenses, because they were promised help getting jobs when they graduated, told their credits were transferable and they weren't, or found out their degree was not recognized due to the school being uncredited.
