How do I repay my student loans?

In Oregon, repaying student loans is a straightforward process. The student loan servicer, the company that handles your loan accounts and payment information, will provide instructions for repayment. Depending on your loan type and repayment plan, there are different options for repayment. For Federal loans, you may be able to choose a standard repayment plan, which is typically 10 years of fixed payments. Other repayment plans, such as graduated, extended, and income-driven plans, also exist and may provide more flexible repayment options for borrowers. You should contact your loan servicer to understand the options available to you based on your loan type. Private student loans often have fewer repayment options. You should contact the lender or loan servicer to understand their repayment terms. Private loans may offer deferment or forbearance if you cannot afford to make payments. If you anticipate having trouble repaying your private loan, contact your lender immediately to discuss your options. If you are having difficulty making your monthly loan payments, contact your loan servicer as soon as possible to discuss repayment options. Depending on your situation, there may be options available to assist with repayment, such as loan consolidation or income-driven repayment plans. It is important to remember that your student loan debt is a legal obligation that must be repaid. Make sure to stay in contact with your loan servicer and remain current on your payments to avoid penalties.
