When I enrolled in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) program, all of my loans were not consolidated ( some were not able to be counted towards PSLF ). I was not told that consolidating would re-start my clock in any discussions with student loan customer service agents, so I held off on doing so.

They did not move forward with the case. 

AdditionallyXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is stating I have 4 months of payments/non-payments that do not qualify for PSLF. I had to restructure my repayment plan during this time, as they switched from Direct Loans to XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I can not afford the Standard Plan. I questioned why these are not on my qualifying payment " clock, '' and they are currently under review.
