FSA Feedback Case / Form OMB No. 1845-0102 / Loan Servicer Payment Ledger Instructions: Federal Student Aid Servicer Transfers: Resolving Missing Payment History & SAVE Plan Delays
“My student loan was transferred from one servicer to another, and my 3 years of income-driven payments disappeared. How do I get my records fixed?”
Official Procedural Summary & Rules
When loan servicers transfer accounts, historical payment counts can take months to synchronize. File a formal complaint with the FSA Ombudsman to force an audit.
Key Statutory Rules & Exceptions
The Department of Education maintains the master National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), which supersedes private servicer errors. • Request an administrative forbearance from your new servicer so you are not forced into late fees while payments are audited. • File an escalated case through the FSA Ombudsman Group on studentaid.gov/feedback-center.
