STUDENT LOAN PIVOT GUIDE

Your loan balance went up last month. You made every payment.

That sentence should make you angry. It should also make you curious.

Because that's not a glitch. That's called negative amortisation and it's been quietly happening to millions of borrowers for years, completely legally, while servicers said nothing and the government collected the difference.

Here's what else they didn't tell you.

There's a repayment plan that legally caps your monthly payment at zero dollars if your income is below a certain threshold. There's a programme that has now erased $60 billion in debt for public sector workers after years of rejecting 98.9% of applicants, it was rebuilt and it now works. There's a tax-free employer benefit worth $5,250 a year that most borrowers have never asked about. And there's a forgiveness track that most people are disqualified from not because they don't deserve it, but because their loan servicer put them on the wrong plan and never mentioned it.

You didn't fail the system. The system failed to explain itself.

The Student Loan Pivot is 25 pages that fix that.

It covers every income-driven repayment plan, the 2024 court battles that changed the strategy for millions of borrowers overnight, the tax bomb waiting at forgiveness that almost no one plans for, and the exact 90-day sequence that moves you from wherever you are now to a position that makes sense.

No jargon. No guesswork. No "consult a financial advisor" without first giving you the full picture.

The people who pay the least on their student loans aren't the ones who earn the most. They're the ones who read the rules.
