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.

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.
ROFL. If obama paid off my $6k loan, I'll be more than happy to vote for him!

Keep us posted on how this turns out. If it does turn out that it just got transferred I'm sure there will be others here with the same questions.

Oh I definitely will! What's been puzzling me the most is the fact that, with my extensive google searches, I haven't found another person that has stated a similar experience as me. If this was some kind of forgiveness, surely I can't be the only one wondering what's going on? I initially thought of a loan transfer as well, but with it being a government loan, I wasn't sure if they'd do transfers. =/ I suppose 12/28 will answer everything - that's the scheduled date of the month to deduct money from my checking account. *fingers crossed*
