Borrowers on the Income-Based Repayment (IBR) Plan will have any remaining balance on their loans forgiven after 20 or 25 years, depending on when they took out their loans. The income-driven repayment plan application is available and includes the option to enroll in the IBR Plan.
While the Fair Credit Reporting Act limits how long an unpaid debt can impact your credit, and the statute of limitations restricts how long you can be sued for a debt, unpaid debt never truly goes away.
Any borrower with ED-held loans that have accumulated time in repayment of at least 20 or 25 years will see automatic forgiveness, even if the loans are not currently on an IDR plan. Borrowers with FFELP loans held by commercial lenders or Perkins loans not held by ED can benefit if they consolidate into Direct Loans.
