Frequently Asked Questions

What Happens After the Program?

What happens after your private student loan program ends?

What happens once the program is complete?

Once your program is completed, you'll receive documentation reflecting the final status of your accounts. Depending on how your debt was resolved, you may also receive additional tax or credit-related documentation.

Your next steps may include:

  • Reviewing your final account documentation
  • Understanding any changes reflected on your credit report
  • Preparing for any applicable tax obligations
  • Building healthy credit and financial habits going forward

The exact outcome depends on how your individual accounts were resolved.

Will I owe taxes on forgiven or canceled debt?

It depends on your circumstances and how the debt was resolved.

In some situations, canceled or forgiven debt may be treated as taxable income. You may receive a Form 1099-C if a creditor cancels a debt that meets the applicable reporting requirements.

There are exceptions and exclusions that may apply, including certain situations involving insolvency or bankruptcy.

Because tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and current tax law, we recommend speaking with a qualified tax professional before filing your taxes.

What happens to my credit after the program?

With responsible credit management, on-time payments and low utilization, many clients reach 700+ credit scores within 2 to 3 years of completing the program.

Will I be able to qualify for new loans afterward?

Potentially, but approval depends on your credit profile and the lender.

After completing a debt relief program, you may want to give yourself time to rebuild your credit and stabilize your finances before applying for major new credit.

Depending on your circumstances, future financing could include:

  • Credit cards
  • Auto loans
  • Personal loans
  • Mortgages

Lenders consider factors such as your credit history, income, existing debt, and recent payment history.

What should I focus on after my program ends?

The goal is to build on the progress you've made.

Focus on maintaining on-time payments, keeping new debt under control, building emergency savings, and monitoring your credit regularly.

A lower debt burden can give you more room to plan for the future, but what comes next is ultimately up to you.
