With inflation growing faster than wages, it's become harder and harder to balance student loans against the rest of your financial responsibilities.
That's when the juggling begins. Deferment. Forbearance. Eventually, you seem to run out of options. Bills come due that you can't pay. Then the calls come. Suddenly you're in default and you start to wonder if there will ever be a way out.
As hopeless as it may feel, you have options. There are steps you can take and programs you may be eligible for. And while sorting through all that information may seem daunting, don't worry - that's what we're here for.
Student loan counseling from MMI is essentially three services in one:
✔ Budget review and counseling
✔ One-on-one student loan review and counseling
✔ Data analysis and recommendation
You will leave your counseling session with a better understanding of your current situation and guidance on what you should do next.
Student loan counseling is available completely online! Prefer to work directly with a trained counselor? We can do that, too.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by student loans, or need help understanding what happens next, schedule a student loan counseling session today.
We're here to listen, to teach, and to fight for you. Don't spend another day wondering how you'll manage your student loan. We can show you.
A student loan counseling session from MMI begins by creating an overall picture of your present finances. Whether you complete your counseling purely online or with a live counselor, you will review your income, expenses, debt, and credit report.
After this, we review your student loans and their status. You will receive a breakdown of all of your available options, providing details on various student loan repayment programs you may qualify for. Then we discuss your personal goals and how these different options may impact your future plans.
Finally, we use an advanced decision engine to help provide recommendations tailored to your situation and goals. Once you've decided which path you'd like to pursue, we can provide additional guidance (if applicable).
Whether you're fresh out of school and unsure how to manage your loans, or you're nearing retirement and worried that you'll never be free of your student loan debts, we can help. Let us help put your mind at ease and get your finances in order.
