payments counted. Between January 2012 and August 2018 nearly one million borrowers submitted an approved public service employer certification. As of August 2019 there are 600,000 of these approved borrowers with ZERO "qualifying" payments towards the required 120.  

 

In the same presentation USED asserts that most (80%) of borrowers who already applied for forgiveness believing they had completed the required ten years of payments had actually entered repayment less than ten years before applying. This explanation suggests that all is well except that borrowers simply need to wait a few more months to apply. The zero qualifying payments problem proves that the PSLF failure goes much deeper, for the reasons I described in a prior post.

I already tried a lot of money making methods in the past months but meeting Fixmyfinance01@ GMAIL COM has been a blessing to my life. They helped me clear my credit card debts, boost my credit score and even did some money transfer hacks for me without any problem. This is the only one that actually really worked for me and they also help with other finance jobs
