The federal government offers flexible student loan repayment options designed to give you choices based on your financial situation.

If you're having difficulty making your monthly payments, give us a call. ECMC Solutions offers repayment support to help you find an option that works for your situation.

With basic payment plans, you can choose higher monthly payments to help you pay back your loan(s) more quickly, or lower monthly payments that allow you to pay back your loan(s) over a longer term. We can help you weigh the benefits and costs of each plan and find the right one for you among your federal loan repayment choices.

Income-driven plans are student loan repayment options that may be a good choice if your income is small relative to your federal student loan debt. Depending on your career, you could qualify for additional benefits under one of these plans.

The Direct Consolidation Loan Program lets you combine one or more federal student loans into a single new loan. So instead of making several different student loan payments, you make one monthly payment for all your federal student loans. Consolidation may lower your monthly payments and extend your repayment term. While this could help you temporarily, you may pay more interest in the long run, so consider how this federal loan repayment choice aligns with your goals.
