We know you may have questions about forbearance and how and when to use it.

We've got you covered.

Requesting forbearance on your student loans means you can postpone or reduce your monthly payments for a certain period.

Here's What A Forbearance Does:

  1. Receive a reduced payment price point

  2. Payment period postponed/extended

  3.  Allows you more time to recover financially

  4. Makes your loan current, getting you out of the late payment cycle

Here's What To Keep In Mind With Forbearance:

  1. Forbearance is temporary, only for a set period of time.

  2. Credit bureau still records previously past due payments

  3. You’re still liable to pay the accrued interest on your loans for the affected months

  4. Loans will capitalize if you don’t pay interest - If you can, continue to pay interest.

Here's How To Request A Forbearance With Navient

Make sure you fill out this information with your current information.

If you've moved, had a name change, or have new information, please make sure to check the box.

Step 2: The Request

This is important.

The second half of the first page has you detail out the reasons for your forbearance request.

Please fill this out.

Explain why you are requesting a forbearance.

Remember, you are a borrower of a federal student loan. Most lenders don't allow postponement of payment. So the fact the government allows a short window in time to push payments off is a great resource, but they need to make sure you have a good reason for this forbearance request.

It's important to remember that Navient is a collection company for the federal government.

They do not want to grant you forbearance because it means it takes them longer to make money on your loan. 

Fortunately, they have no choice.

But that doesn't mean they won't give you push back or a hard time at implementing your forbearance.

Our success team makes sure they abide by the rights you have so you don't have to worry.
