BREAKING: In an unsigned, one-sentence decision, a right-wing 8th circuit judge stayed @POTUS’ SAVE plan—throwing the student loan system into chaos.

This temporarily blocks millions from accessing lower payments & cancellation under SAVE.

What goes into a credit score? 1. On time payments 2. how much you owe 3. length of credit history 4. new credit 5. credit mix. Your on time payments and owing as little as possible are the biggest factors! Focus on those to increase your credit score. #credit #financialliteracy

From our community partner @CLSphila Check it out! Spread the word! #bettertogether #utilities #debt #wecanhelp

Next Action Step if you've been following along.
Enroll or reenroll in autopay!!! You will need to REenroll if you were enrolled in auto pay before the payment pause.

Doing so will save you 0.25% on your interest rate and you won't ever have a late payment!
