I refinanced 250k out of 300k from federal to private and now none of the new federal repayment plans help me. Anyone in this boat and any suggestions? My private loan interest rate is only 3.3% but I’m paying $2k / month and it would only be $900 had I kept them federal under the new plans

Nope because I wasn’t dumb enough to do that for that exact reason. Now nothing will be forgiven no matter what you do. This is always a bad idea.

Like OP said, private loans aren’t eligible for forgiveness. Private loans will get their money the same if you default. They’ll sue you, then the court system will garnish your wages. There isn’t really a statute of limitations in this case because you failed to honor a contract, which they’d pursue immediately to the terms you signed up for. It’s an industry standard for these companies to have partnerships with collections agencies, which would be the one taking you to court.

If interest rates have dropped since you refinanced you might be able to refinance again to a lower rate and potentially qualify for a more manageable repayment plan.

Here’s the catch — the account has a 24$ monthly maintenance fee. And that gets waived with the mortgage.

I wonder what would happen if I refinance.
