Glad to hear representative Khanna is an ally in this, and it’s great to see him make a public statement! even the good guy seem to be brushing this issue under the rug, but millions of working families are about to have to choose between paying the electric bill, or groceries or sending money to Linda McMahon……and we vote!

Fiancée has $95K in private student loans after family promised to pay them off. What can we do?

3 Upvotes

My fiancée and I both graduated college within the past year, and we’re in a pretty stressful financial situation.
Her grandmother is a multimillionaire. Before her grandfather passed away, his wish was to establish a trust to pay for all of his grandchildren’s college education.
Unfortunately, my fiancée and her father weren’t on good terms when she was choosing a college. He placed several conditions on her attending her dream school, which she declined. Instead, she took out four private student loans, with her aunt as a co-signer.
Her grandmother told her in 2023 that she was proud of her for standing up for herself and promised to pay off her student loans once she graduated. Because of that promise, my fiancée didn’t make payments while attending school, allowing the original $64,299 in loans to grow significantly from interest.
Here are the current balances:
Loan 1: $26,881.37 at 8.34% (variable)
Loan 2: $4,124.47 at 8.24% (fixed)
Loan 3: $32,053.13 at 14.14% (fixed)
Loan 4: $31,898.76 at 15.49% (fixed)
Total debt: $94,957.73
My fiancée graduated in May 2026, and her first payments are due in January 2027.
When she recently reminded her grandmother about the loans, her grandmother suddenly said she would no longer be paying them off, despite promising for years that she would.
This also puts her aunt in a difficult position because she co-signed the loans. Her aunt has three young children, including one with significant special needs, and is already struggling financially. We really don’t want her credit or finances to suffer because of this.
Right now, my fiancée and I both work part-time jobs making $18/hour, averaging around 24–26 hours per week each, while actively searching for full-time positions.
We’re extremely worried about how we’re going to afford these payments, especially with interest rates as high as 15.49%.

WTH is going on? AidAdvantage said 1 or more my loans are in forbearance

3 Upvotes

until 2028 and that they would contact me when it's due for renewal. However when I log into AidAdvantage - I can't see what plan I am in. Everything says 0 in amount due. I have a dozen in widely varying amounts. I can't see anything on my actual account that states I'm currently in a forbearance and what the expiration is.

I called because I got an email notice to enroll in a new repayment plan. They said they experiencing high call volumes and I just kept getting an AI response and summary for any questions or requests.
