'Tis the season for student loan scam calls

December 15, 2021

If you have a federal student loan, you probably already know that the Coronavirus Emergency Relief Program that has paused your payments is ending. Repayments will begin again after May 1, 2022. Scammers know it too and are looking for ways to take advantage: they're calling, texting and emailing to try to use any confusion around restarting your student loan payments to steal your money and personal information.

Check out what some of these scam calls sound like.

If you get a call, text, email or message on social media fromfrom someone about your Federal Student Loan, Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Never pay an upfront fee. It's illegal for companies to charge you before they help you. If you pay up front to reduce or get rid of your student loan debt, you might not get any help- or your money back. Also, remember that there's nothing a company can do for you that you can't do yourself for free. And you never have to pay to get help from the Department of Education.
  • Never give out your Federal Student Aid ID, your Social Security number or other personal information to anyone who contacts you. Scammers posing as student loan servicers can use this information to log into your account, change your contact information and even divert your payments to them. Instead of giving out your FSA ID, call or contact your servicer.
  • Don't sign up for quick loan forgiveness. Scammers might say they can get rid of your loans before they know the details of your situation. Or they might promise a loan forgiveness program- that most people won't qualify for. They might even say they'll wipe out your loans by disputing them. But they can't.
  • Scammers use fake seals and logos to lure people in. They promise special access to repayment plans, new federal loan consolidations, or loan forgiveness programs. It's a lie. If you have federal loans, go to the Department of Education directly at StudentAid.gov.

If a scammer contacts you, report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov

Updated January 6, 2022 with new information about how payment flexibilities for federal student loan borrowers have been extended through May 1, 2022.
