We Won, Now Make it Count!

Quick Survey About New Consumer Agency Priorities

Thanks to your support, the new federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will have authority over all private student loans. This would not have happened without thousands of people like you standing up and demanding consumer protections for private student loan borrowers. Thank you!

Now that the new consumer agency is getting off the ground, Americans for Financial Reform, a partner in our coalition, is conducting a quick one-page survey to find out what you think the new agency's top priorities should be. Please take a moment to weigh in (question 11 is specific to student loans)!

How to switch to the Direct Loan program

If your federal loans are in the Guaranteed (FFEL) program — where your lender is a private entity like Sallie Mae or Citibank — you can consolidate into the Direct Loan program to qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Even if you have already consolidated your loans in the FFEL program, you may re-consolidate into the Direct Loan program to take advantage of this program.
