Need Additional Help?

We want this web page to be a comprehensive resource for students. We do realize that we may not be able to resolve all problems for students so we will be posting addtional contact information for students who are looking for additional help. 

Federal Student Loan Issues:

• Resources for Borrowers having difficulty repaying their loans
• Federal Student Loan Ombudsman

Private (Alternative) Student Loans:

Federal Consumer Financial  Protection Bureau -  The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) established the Federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Many of the pieces of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to the CFPB will go into effect on July 21, 2011. The CFPB will ultimately have some level of oversight over private non-federal student loans. Initial plans are for the Bureau to establish an ombudsman's office to help students and parents who are experiencing difficulty with repaying these loans.
