Choosing the right student loan servicer can make a significant difference in managing debt effectively. Loan servicers act as intermediaries between borrowers and the U.S. Department of Education or private lenders, ensuring that payments are processed, repayment plans are set up, and borrowers receive the necessary support. Two of the most recognized names in this space are Aidvantage and Nelnet. Understanding how these servicers function, their strengths, and potential drawbacks is essential in determining the best fit for a borrower’s repayment strategy.
