I have $46k in remaining loans. I currently am paying 0. Why?

My associates degree is from a defunct school and I’m am holding out for borrower defense repayment. I’m currently in a few class action lawsuits against DeVos that are in limbo. (For obv. Reasons)

I paid so much in the past that, when/if my defunct loans do get forgiven, I also will be given a refund for all interest/principal payments I have made, which amounts to so much $$$ that I can take the check and I will pay off the remaining balance of my non-garbage school loans.

I have already paid my other loans that don’t qualify for this program. ($5k heartland loan paid off in 2019)

Right now I have $14k left and I pay $1000 on it per mo bc I’m REALLY trying to get it over with. But I started w $70k and for a long time made $400-500 payments bc that’s all I could afford

Wow E1, that’s a lot. Is it for bachelor or masters degree? You didn’t get any scholarships at school?

Both bachelors and masters, and yes I did get scholarships but I had 6 years of school and had to cover about $12k/year myself, in loans

I paid off the last 10k of mine with my $100 per hour contracting gig. If only I still made that kind of money.

$12,500 left on a refinanced loan. Moved back home with my parents since the start of Covid and took my $1200/month Chicago rent and added it to my payment amount, so I pay $1739 towards my loan each month. I also have $23,500 left on a government loan, but haven’t paid anything towards that since Covid. Monthly payment on that is $247 and will resume in November.

I am wondering if I can see what other brands say to influencers that they reject? In the program we use we either approve them or reject them.

Not a brand rejecting an influencer. We don’t want to be rude & would like to keep the door open for future collabs if they meet our standards in the future.
