Student loan mysteriously paid off?

637 146 December 20, 2011 at 05:49 PM in Chat
I recently went on my student loan website and realized that it's mysteriously paid off on 12/8/11. I'm the only one who knows my account information and very few people even know I have student loans. I researched the web extensively on student loan forgiveness and I definitely don't fit ANY of them by any stretch of the imagination. Has anyone else experienced this? The only thing I have come across is that my FIRST student loan disbursement was on 12/7/01, so 12/8/11 marks a 10 year anniversary. The website gives absolutely no information on how it was paid off, or why. Under "payer", it says "other", nothing else. I've also examined my portfolio to make sure I didn't pay it off myself under a drunken stupor, but nope, nothing there either. Maybe this is just a Christmas present from the government?

ETA: My loan was in good standing and on automatic payment. They automatically take out of my checking account every month on the 28th. I'm anxious to see if they will this month.

Likely a transfer of loan holders, happened to me but I didn't think it mysteriously got paid off, I was more or so ticked because I didn't want to be charged late fees because of their slow transferring process and I couldn't pay them on time. The letter finally showed up in the mail about the "transfer" from one loan holder to another. Did you try calling them?
This was a government loan - Stafford loan. They never sent me any letter about transferring loan holders. I'm hoping it's just paid off. LOL. And, no, I most definitely haven't tried calling them. LMAO

Depending on what you do, there was a 10 year plan that if you work for non-profit all your loans will be forgiven.
I'm unemployed, and I haven't paid close to 10 years. I looked that up in detail, you are supposed to pay for 10 years before you can be forgiven. I've had my FIRST disbursement for 10 years. I've only paid about 3.5 years.

That's a pretty sweet payoff.

Hope it really is legit.

Ah... YEAH. I know my student loan isn't as much as some people, but $6k is still a lot of money! This is so bizarre...

Keep an eye out for further incoming mail. You will likely receive your 2012 voter ballot directly from Obama and it will already be filled out for you.

Double your current amount, and that is my amount in current loans, I am about midway into my second year of undergrad...
