##  Beware of Student Loan Debt Relief Scams

 Many third party "debt relief" companies offer fee-based services such as loan counseling, consolidation, and helping borrowers choose the right repayment plan. These companies are not representatives of the Department of Education or Harvard University. **Federal loan servicers are available to assist and will never charge a fee.** There are several repayment plans to choose from, and options to keep your loans in good standing even if you're struggling to make the monthly payments. If you need help choosing a repayment plan, are in repayment and have questions, or are having trouble making payments, [start here](https://studentaid.gov/h/manage-loans#how-to-pay).
