What we're seeing right now with student loans is unprecedented…
Between January and March 2025, 2.2 million student loan borrowers lost more than 100 credit points. Another million borrowers lost 150 points or more. That means that if you had a 700 credit score, you could now be sitting at 550. That's the difference between qualifying for a mortgage and being denied for a basic credit card!
In 2020, the government paused payments, with no interest and no late fees reported. Then came a 12-month grace period during which missed payments would still not hurt your credit. But that all ended in October of 2024… Now there is no more protection. And the changes are being enforced retroactively, which is why people are waking up to devastated credit scores with no warning.
Look, I know you're scared. I know you're angry. And you should be. This student loan credit reporting crisis is very real. But here’s the good news: it’s also created massive opportunities for removal. All the violations happening right now? Lack of notification… false reporting… servicer screw-ups… Those are your weapons.
Today, I’m going to show you how to use them and remove student loans for good.
