    When I made the last payment on my student loan I got a similar letter. Something along the lines of “it appears you have made your last payment, but we still need to review the account to confirm. If you dont get another invoice from us then it’s all good.” I then got an invoice for about $1 which was the interest that gained on the account from the time I mailed the last cheque and the time they cashed it.

    I’m going to assume this person sent in something that looked like a payment which triggered the “looks like you made your last payment” letter but then accounting realized the payment was phony and sent an invoice.

      Wait, you paid off your student loan and not your great-grandchildren?

        I did the same in my mid 30s. It’s called money management. It’s a skill that has mostly been lost to us boomers.

          It has nothing to do with money management. It’s virtually impossible to pay off student loans anymore. People pay them off until they die now. That you’re a boomer is why you were able to do it. College was affordable when you went.

            Ok…this boomer held three jobs to pay for his first year of college and got loans for his last three. I really don’t have any idea what the hell you’re talking about claiming that college (let alone life) in NYC was affordable. Don’t be jealous that we understood how to get GSLs and PELL grants while you and lots of your generation fell for the private companies ripping off students who wanted “free” rides. Your generation screwed it up so damn bad, that’s why Biden is forgiving student loans.

                This was back in the 80s. Best I recall, all expenses totaled something like 16000 for the first year. But remember, in the 80s tuition prices were increasing so fast it would make your head spin,

                  So far, far less than now. Because I only showed tuition, not other expenses.

                    As was the price of everything and the worth of a dollar. It’s nobody’s fault but your own that you failed to learn simple economics…do you have a problem? You really should speak to a therapist Mr. Squid.
