You might remember that a few weeks ago, I found myself trapped in the unfortunate position of not being able to locate my student loans. This morning, I found them! By which I mean, after signing into www.myfedloan.org day-after-day, waiting the “10-15 day” transfer period, I was finally able to pay my March bill!
Really, nothing should surprise me anymore. And yet, this did:

Twelve days past due! This is not how I roll. For those of you keeping track, I signed into my old account to a $0.00 balance on March 16. My transfer didn’t go through until April 3. That’s 19 days between first “losing” my student loans and finally being able to pay my March bill. 19 days > 12 days. How could I have possibly paid my bill in that 19-day period? Certainly not via any website, nor by calling Fedloan Servicing (tried that). Thanks so much federal student financial aid system. Even someone who pays her loans diligently can’t catch a break.
