How Student Loan Rehabilitation Programs Restore Your Credit

Lucas and Luna dive into the mechanics of federal student loan rehabilitation — a program that lets borrowers defaulted on their loans get back on track and remove the default notation from their credit reports. They break down how the program works, including the nine-month payment requirement and the formula for calculating affordable payments (usually 15% of discretionary income). Lucas explains why rehabilitation is often a better option than consolidation for defaulted borrowers, especially if credit restoration is the goal. Luna shares a concrete example of a borrower who saw her credit score jump 80 points after completing rehab. They also discuss the catch: rehabilitation only works once per loan, and the payments can be steep for some borrowers.
