Client Success Stories
Hear directly from borrowers across the country who freed themselves from federal student loan debt with our expert guidance through Department of Education relief programs.
“I had completely given up hope of ever paying off my student loans. At $47,000 with a degree from a school that lied about job placement, I felt trapped. Elevate Financial Services not only got my loans completely discharged through Borrower Defense — they got me a refund of over $3,000 for payments I'd already made. I'm 34 years old and for the first time in my adult life, I have zero student loan debt. If you're on the fence, just do the free consultation. It costs nothing and it changed my entire financial future.”

“As a special education teacher in a Title I school, I was pouring everything into my students while drowning in $62,000 of student loan debt. Elevate helped me understand that I qualified for Teacher Loan Forgiveness ($17,500 forgiven immediately) AND that my years of teaching counted toward PSLF. They helped me consolidate, certify my employment going back 7 years, and now I'm on track for complete forgiveness in 3 more years. Every teacher needs to know about these programs, and Elevate is the team that makes it happen.”

Teacher Loan Forgiveness + PSLF — Special Education Teacher
“When ITT Tech closed its doors, I had $35,000 in loans and half a degree that was worth nothing. I was angry, embarrassed, and had no idea what to do. Elevate Financial walked me through the Closed School Discharge process and handled everything — the documentation, the application, the follow-ups. Six months later, the Department of Education approved my discharge. All loans gone. They even helped me understand that the closure also qualified as a Borrower Defense claim, which gave me additional protection. These people are experts.”

“Working at a 501(c)(3) for 8 years and never knew PSLF existed. Elevate certified all my past employment, consolidated my loans, and now I'm 2 years from complete forgiveness. They literally saved me over $60,000.”

“My $487 monthly payment was impossible on my income. Elevate got me on the SAVE plan at $0/month and showed me how these count toward eventual forgiveness. The relief is incredible.”

“Westwood closed and I had $41K in loans. Elevate knew exactly which programs applied — Closed School Discharge plus Borrower Defense for additional protection. Both approved. I can't thank them enough.”
