#student loan repayment

[mcatmemoranda]

I forgot to post that I graduated from residency in September and I just started working last Friday. I love my community health center. I'm so glad I made it and I want to be the best doctor I can be.😊👩🏽‍⚕️

If you do primary care or psychiatry in Massachusetts and at least 40% of your patients have MassHealth or are uninsured, then you can apply for MassHealth student loan repayment programs. They offer PCPs up to $100,000 in loan repayment for working with this population for at least 4 years! Application opens today, November 14th!

I'm obviously applying! I was considering National Health Service Corps, but they only pay up to a maximum of $75,000 if you work for an FQHC for 10 years. MARepay will give you up to a maximum of $100,000 for serving for 4 years. But apparently, you can't be enrolled in any other loan repayment program to participate in MARepay.

Ontario is extending a tuition freeze for public colleges and universities for a third year.

Colleges and Universities Minister Jill Dunlop says in a press release that the freeze will continue for the 2023-24 school year for Ontario students, while allowing post-secondary institutions to raise their fees for domestic out-of-province students by up to five per cent.

Colleges Ontario says they are disappointed they aren't being given the flexibility to respond to escalating cost pressures.

The Progressive Conservative government reduced tuition fees by 10 per cent for the 2019-20 school year and has frozen rates since then. [...]

I’m not paying back my student loans: its both a political statement and I forgot and I’m poor.

[jynxeddraca]

Fuck you Nelnet, fuck you.

Rant incoming.

So my student loans apparently got sold to some company called Nelnet. Which, whatever, I can't really do anything about that. But I knew my loan payments were supposed to start up again and every time I checked it said I didn't owe anything. However, starting back in September, I was accruing interest. I've been told I needed to start paying in October, that I needed to start paying in November, and Nelnet's site say that accounts starting in 'E' (which mine apparently does) need to pay in October - so that hasn't been confusing at all. They also ported over my banking information so I was automatically signed up for auto debit even though I did not sign up for auto debit - which I'm already annoyed about, even though it was about $40. So I finally got a bill and it says I have already paid my 'Regular Monthly Amount' of $118 towards my student loans.

No the fuck I did not.

So cue me running around trying to figure out where this money was taken from because it's not come out of my bank account that I can see. The interest has been applied for both September and October, so I now owe $100 in interest. And to top it all off - I cannot change the the amount of the auto debit. It physically will not allow me. So I just canceled that shit.

So what I found out is this lovely thing when I checked the "Make A Payment" because no payment has been made and I don't want to accumulate interest because that's bitten me in the ass before:

I was making payments during the pause - at least for part of the pause because I had literally thousands of dollars in interest that my IBR didn't cover that I really wanted to catch up on. The only thing I can think of is that they applied some of my COIVD Pause payments to this and advanced my due date. Which, when I went to make a payment there is a button that said "Do not advance my due date" and there was a note (Wish I had gotten a screenshot of that) that told me that it was a one time only checkbox.

And like all student loan interest websites it seems, you cannot allocate extra payments to the principal of a loan until the interest is paid down. Because of course not. Because people drowning in that interest piling up is what makes them money. So why would they give people an option to help pay the principal down a little bit quicker?

Also, on top of all of this, I seem to have extra loans that my previous provider did NOT list so I went from 4 loans, to 7 - even though the total amount owed between them has stayed the same.

So far, Nelnet, you seem shady as shit and I don't like you. So go fuck yourself.
