A cautionary note. Earnest is not a debt relief company in the sense expressed by the advisory.
Best,

I agree with Sarah. I just did an interview with our local CBS affiliate about this topic. These companies aren't operating for free. They're charging for services the Feds/servicers do for free. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau put out a consumer advisory back in 2014 when they started popping up.

There are many of these types of companies popping up now and the best advice is to steer clear of them all. Any student who has borrowed FEDERAL student loans should only work with U.S. Department of Education Federal Student Aid on repaying those loans (https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans).

Good Morning everyone,
While working with a graduating student this morning, he asked about a student loan refinancing company called Earnest. He is thinking of applying but wanted to know more about them. Does anyone have any experience or heard anything about Earnest? Any info I can pass on to him would be great.
Thank you,
