Re: Perkins Loan
Posted: Sun Aug 11, 2024 11:55 am
I am a 66-year-old registered nurse who has been paying my Perkins school loans without much of a problem. I was recently diagnosed with idiopathic lung fibrosis, a condition that has affected my quality of life. I am unable to perform housework, walk or climb the stairs. I planned to continue working to age 72 as I initially was in perfect health. I cannot foresee the possibility of working beyond 2021, and I rent an apartment, so I cannot borrow against my residential place. I am writing you organization to determine if you can assist me in paying my Perkins student loans, that amount to $170,000. Since the 2020 COVID infection, I have been servicing my principal to reduce the interest. Your assistance on this matter is highly appreciated,
