After nearly two decades of making payments, a 49-year-old man called into “The Ramsey Show” with a question about student loan forgiveness. With $20,000 left to go on his balance, he was curious whether any government forgiveness options might be available to him after 19 years of repayment.
“I've been paying for about 19 years,” the caller said. “I know that there are some programs out there around forgiveness if you've been paying for 20 years.”
