Before you contact us

Common Contact Questions

Is the initial consultation free?

Yes. The initial conversation with Private Loan Specialists is free and does not require you to enroll in a program. Any third-party service discussed later may have separate fees and terms.

What if I'm unsure whether my loans are private or federal?

You can explain that during your inquiry. Our service focuses on private student loans; if your loans are federal-only, review official federal repayment information at StudentAid.gov.

Will submitting this form lower or pause my payments?

No. Submitting the form starts an inquiry only. Loan terms, scheduled payments and legal deadlines remain in effect unless the appropriate party formally changes them.

Can I speak with someone instead of completing the form?

Yes. Call (800) 251-4115 during the listed business hours to discuss your private student loan questions.

You don't need every answer before reaching out.
