Student Advocates

Great service and relief beyond the payment. Took me a while, some reading and reasearch but after the help I Definitely judge it far from a scam. It gives hope to actual helping from services and companies like it despite the other programs/​companies I have seen and read about that left this company looking like the boy who cried wolf. Pretty Legit.

As others have written, I was wary of this program given the scams that abound in student loans. I was wrong! I called from an ad on Facebook and within an hour of my initial call, my loans had been consolidated and my payment went from $ 112/​month to $ 0/​month. Yup. I wish my other loans weren’t private so I could consolidate them as well! My account manager at Student Advocates was very knowledgeable and made it a point to make sure I understood everything she was explaining to me. Plus, since I work for a non-​profit, she informed me of an amazing benefits that brought the term of the loan from 300 months to 120 months! It was hard for me to believe at the time but it is completely legitimate.
People saying that this is a rip-​off because it’s something you can do yourself at
… Been there, done that, was denied consolidation and the headache that came along with trying to figure it out was not worth it. Will gladly pay Student Advocates to have it taken care of easily, efficiently and professionally! I urge anyone struggling to pay student loans to give them a call.

I’m a family man that earned an ok income, but with kids my finances changed and my salary didn’t feel the same. I filled out an online form somewhere, several companies called me. Each one had big initial payments before my ACTUAL payment began. I signed up with one who sounded like the best and gave all my information with payment dates. I got another call from this company and I said «I’m all signed up with someone else» and the person was persistent of knowing details of my paperwork with the company. I explained their services sounded exactly the same except the $ 699.00 of upfront money I was about to get charged around Valentines Day. Anthony Smith pointed out that is NOT the way a hardship program is treated. He spent as much time as it took to really understand the compliance behind the forgiveness loan, if done wrong I will be in even bigger trouble than before.
I was very uncomfortable signing up right away after I just signed up with another company, especially knowing they were charging too much. My Account Manager explained there is no risk with no money down. I did everything the processing team told me and I just got my zero balance letters from Great Lakes confirming the work has been done, I checked my credit and noticed an improvement since the student loan interest killed my credit.
People need to be aware of the companies that charge upfront money because it’s too big of a risk to take. My servicer confused me and I think servicers are crooked. I’m a Dad that needed some help and I got it with no money down and zero deposit and it made the most sense. Hope this review helps other Dads, Moms etc wondering if this is legit or not. I had my co-​worker sign up too on Tuesday and said it was very easy as well, I had a million questions so I’m glad my call got directed to someone who helped this make sense. Good luck!

I wish back in HS there would have been a crash course to teach me about student loans because no one ever explained that these would follow me for the rest of my life. I’m a waitress for gosh sakes i didn’t even land a job for the thing i studied to be how am i gonna pay this off. I didn’t know what i was gonna do till i got a phone call from my sister telling me that this called student advocates is helping her by lowering her payment. of course i did not believe her but i was drowning in my debt so heck i called spoke to a Mr Brandon Pauw now my payments went from $ 320 down to zero yup $ 0.00!!! So thank you Yovana (my sister) and thank you to Brandon and every one at student advocates !!!

Jennifer Rosene rocks! Thank you for guiding me through the process of reducing the amount I spend monthly on my student loans!

A few months ago my sister received help from Student Advocates with her student loans. I was so impressed with her results that I decided to call. Before talking to them I was struggling each month to stay current on my $ 1800.00 monthly payments. I have over 250k in student loans from undergrad and medical school. After speaking with Student Advocates they were able to get my payments all the way down to $ 450.00 per month. Thank you for saving me $ 1,350 per month!

I’m a single dad with 3 children with one source of income. Unfortunately my student loans caught up to me in my later years and I couldn’t afford to continue on with my normal lifestyle due to my loans. There really isn’t a choice when it comes to choosing between your kids (food and clothes) and paying your student loans. It became so severe that Sallie Mae threatened to garnish my wages. Luckily, after looking for help all over the place, I received an email from a friend who recommended Student Advocates who helped her get out of a financial hole, similar to what I was in. I gave them a call and explained my situation to one of the nicest people I’ve ever spoke with (Ellis) and he assured me that they could get that burden off of my back and sure enough they did. The proof is in my monthly student loan bill that I receive each month. They walked me through the entire process and had so much patience with me. When you are going through a storm in your life, having someone there to get you through it and see you through to the end means more to you then anything else. I owed over $ 46,000 in student loans and I went from a $ 400 monthly payment down to a $ 12 a month payment. This was based on me and my 3 kids and the amount of money I make (barely enough to support us all). They also consolidated my 7 loans down to 1. I’m so thankful for Student Advocates help and support through this difficult point in my life.

I read an article that there are student loan scams all over. I am happy to say that this company is definitely not one of them! Definitely professionals. They got my loans consolidated and got my loan payments from $ 500 a month to ZERO!
Hey, Navient told me I could do this myself, but its like pulling teeth to get them to cooperate. I tried before and sent them my taxes 3 times and they kept saying thwy never got them. I must have talked to 20 different people.
I have no problem paying this company to never have to deal with the government again! They called Navient and did all the paperwork for me. I have my agent’s number and I talk to the same person every time. She followed up with me every step of the way.
I don’t have to pay a cent toward my loans and in 10 years, the $ 65,000 I owe gets forgiven!
This company didn’t charge me a dime until all the work was done!

Dealt with Student Advocates this week. Thank you!!! I had tried for months to work with my loan provider with no success. I am a single dad with 3 kids. After speaking Jen Rosene for 20 minutes she educated me on the process and was able to qualify me for this program. She was very helpful and not pushy. My payments were insanely high, like 300 a month. They got my loans consolidated and my payment is now 120. Wish I knew about this earlier. Would have saved a bunch of money. I would recommend anyone to call them.

I had multiple loans through multiple servicers. I had to pay all of these servicers at different times of the month, which was a headache to say the least. Not to mention the principal balance never seemed to be affected.
After speaking with Ellis Jackson, I was able to consolidate all my loans into 1 new loan at a lower payment for a shorter term. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in making sure I understood the entire process.
Basically I am getting forgiveness on about 25k of my student loan debt, while making a lower payment throughout the process. This program is a life saver and they are the ones who threw out the life raft to me.
I am extremely thankful for him personally and the company in general.

Great company! Everyone that I spoke to was extremely professional throughout the entire process.

I owe about 52,000 in student loan debt. Student Advocates was able to help me get in a government program. They were able to get me in a 10 year loan forgiveness in which I pay my loans for 10 years and the remaining debt will be forgiven and the debt will be paid off in full… Everyone there is friendly and easy to work with. Thanks Student Advocates…

I have over 100K in student loan debt and have been looking for solutions for a while now, I would consider myself very well rounded and knowledgeable when it comes to student loans and student debt. I shopped around that’s for sure. In the end I did choose these guys because I found myself surprised to find someone (Alison Brown is who I worked with) that could show me things I didn’t already know. She helped me to save money in ways I hadn’t thought of above and beyond my student loan debt. I was also very happy with the rate, and just the overall care and knowledge that I got from her.
Yes, I would, and I do recommend them to others in my class and friends of mine. In the end, after all of my shopping around, I feel I made a wise choice choosing them and I gave them 5 stars. They really worked for it, and they earned it.
