That article on student loans rings so true. It took me hours over multiple days to track down information on all my loans, who the servicers were, what my expected payments would be, and the specific date the first payment would be due. I consider myself to be extremely organized with paperwork and it was a thousand times harder to deal with than it should have been. It is still a whole process to stay on top of things every time my loans are sold to a different servicer and make sure that they’ve accurately transferred my payment history.
