Student loans can be hard to keep track of at times.
Many student loan borrowers find themselves with accounts serviced at different locations, owned by different lenders or even guaranteed by different guarantors . Worse yet, it's not uncommon for loans to be transferred from one servicer or lender to another. All of which can make keeping track of your student loans difficult. But understanding who the lenders, servicers and guarantors of your loans are can prove crucial in protecting your best interests. Knowing who holds and who guarantees your loans means more than just knowing where to send payments.
