STUDENT LOAN LEGAL ASSISTANCE, INC.

Student Loan Legal Assistance, Inc. ("SLLA") is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that assists all student loan borrowers by providing educational and student loan legal services. Unfortunately the cost of higher education has doubled within the past decade resulting in a student loan debt burden which has exceeded an astronomical $1.4 trillion dollars. Student loan debt has now surpassed both credit card debt and auto loan debt. It is second in line to only mortgage loan debt. Due to this debt burden, the dismal job market and economy, and the extremely incompetent student loan servicing, 1 in 4 of the over 40 million student loan borrowers across the nation are delinquent or are in default on his or her student loan payments. This is alarming! Moreover, there are significant issues adversely affecting specific groups of borrowers who we assist such as military members, veterans and their families, and elders who are not receiving adequate information and servicing. Finally, many borrowers who we assist that are current with their student loan payments are struggling and/or are completely unaware of all of their economic and legal options to alleviate their debt burden. As a result of this epidemic, a significant amount of student loan borrowers are in dire need of education and legal assistance regarding all of their student loan legal options. In addition to the urgent need for this education and assistance, unfortunately there are several unregulated scam “debt relief" companies in existence that are preying on borrowers who weassist such as those with low incomes and/or those that are in financial distress. SLLA was created with a twofold mission and objective. First, SLLA is committed to reducing the previously mentioned significant number of student loan borrowers who are delinquent, in default, and/or are current but struggling to pay his or her student loans. Second, SLLA is committed to reducing the number of student loan borrowers who fall victim to the aforementioned predatory scam “debt relief" companies by providing the critical education and legal assistance that these companies fail to provide.SLLA assists all student loan borrowers by providing educational and legal assistance in the form of legal consultations, legal advocacy, and implementations of options on behalf of the student loan borrowers. Moreover, SLLA provides these services nationwide to any student loan borrower who has federal student loans. Finally, SLLA provides these services to student loan borrowers who have private student loans if they reside in the State of Florida.
