On July 1, 2026, a new law rewrote the federal student loan system. The SAVE plan is dead and a couple of older income-based plans are being phased out. New monthly payments nobody budgeted for are rolling out, and collections are set to switch back on.
Most borrowers have no clue any of this happened, so the damage lands on their credit reports before they ever get a letter. Daniel Rosen walks through the reporting errors that show up every time the loan world reshuffles, and the one date that saves people real money: set up autopay by September 30 to lock in an interest cut of up to one percent through mid-2028.
Whether you started your credit repair business last week or you've been doing this for years, this is the moment to be the expert people turn to when the system stops making sense.
