There are many factors that may impact your payment. Call us at 800.279.5063 or 505.345.3371 to review your loan status. Periodically your loan is evaluated on the minimum payment and the loan term remaining (amount of months remaining to payoff loan). If it is determined your current payment will not pay off the loan within the remaining term then the payment may increase.

Text Area Headline: 

Why did my monthly payment go up?

Text Area: 

The formula for computing daily/simple interest is principal balance multiplied by the interest rate divided by the number of days in the year multiplied by one day. (Principal Balance x Interest Rate/365 or 366 = Daily Interest Accrued) Call us at 800.279.5063 or 505.345.3371 for more information.

Text Area Headline: 

How is my loan interest calculated?

Text Area: 

Interest accrues on your account daily. Paying less than the minimum due payment amounts, missing payment, or using deferments, forbearances or payment arrangements slows progress in paying your loans. Call us at 800.279.5063 or 505.345.3371 for more information.

Text Area Headline: 

Why isn’t my balance going down?

Text Area: 

The IRS uses a calculated formula to determine your deductible tax interest over the life of your loan not year by year. Some years you may be eligible to have deduction greater than the amount of interest you paid and some years less. You will receive entire amount of deductible tax interest over the entire life of your loan. The amount on your 1098-E is what we reported to the IRS based on the complex yield formula. Contact your tax professional regarding any specific questions or find additional information at irs.gov. You can also call the IRS at 800-829-3676 for publications and forms, or 800-829-1040 for questions.

Text Area Headline:
