The Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (DFI), together with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) and Savi, today announced they are hosting a free student loan repayment webinar on Tuesday, Nov. 7. The online event will help federal student loan borrowers learn how to avoid scams, use free repayment tools, and explore new repayment plans to manage their restarted federal student loan payments following the end of the U.S. Department of Education’s COVID-19 emergency relief for federal student loans. The 0% interest rate ended on Sept. 1, and payments restarted this month.
Join the “Student Loan Repayment Webinar: How to Avoid Scams, Use Free Repayment Tools, and Save Money” at 12 p.m. by registering for the free webinar here.
During this webinar, federal student loan borrowers will learn about current student loan debt relief scams to avoid and how to use the free Wisconsin Student Loan Repayment Tool, created by public benefit corporation Savi. Savi is a technology startup whose mission is to help borrowers navigate the complex student loan system. Its student loan experts will answer questions about federal student loan repayment and explain how their tool can help borrowers navigate the complexities of federal student loan repayment plans, forgiveness programs, and lowering student loan payments. Using Savi’s tool may help borrowers reduce their monthly payments and optimize their repayment plans. Student loan borrowers can find additional free repayment resources on DFI’s student loan debt repayment webpage.
