Great experience

After some personal research, I contacted Mr. Minsky for help navigating my student loan situation. My situation is now resolved. Mr. Minsky took care of everything quickly and professionally while explaining each step along the way. I am extremely pleased with the entire process. Before calling, I w...as being harassed by the collection agency the Dept. Of Ed was using. I was one phone call away from caving and giving them everything they wanted. But something just didn't seem right. The loan balance the collection agency was citing was about 4,000 too high. After working with Mr. Minsky to clearly understand my options, I opted to work directly with the Dept. of Ed via consolidation instead of the collection agency. When the dust settled, the total loan balance didn't include the extra 4,000 as the collection agency had stated. Because of this, Mr. Minsky's service paid for itself. Highly recommended.

Foreign based student loan default

I recommend Mr. Minsky to anyone with student loan problems, or if they want to know where things stand in relation to the complicated world of student loans. Having defaulted on my loan about 17 years ago and being based overseas (no intention of returning to the US), Mr. Minsky outlined possible o...ptions for his services in a direct and open manner via Skype. My loan did not appear on any credit reports, as collection efforts had ceased due to an inability to contact me. I did not know how to find out how much I owed and he provided detailed instructions as to how to get my current loan balance. My case was somewhat unique in the ability to negotiate a settlement and Mr. Minsky quickly recognised how things should proceed. Options for dealing the the Department of Education were outlined clearly as well as the possible implications of the decision made. Instructions for me and from me to him were clearly outlined before any action was taken. All correspondence was responded to In a timely manner with a direct approach provided. The matter was settled quickly and with a significant discount on what I had been quoted as a loan balance from the collection agents (Department of Education). Once again, my case was somewhat unique but the DOE does not have the best reputation for negotiating settlements, either. Mr. Minsky is a true professional and I would recommend him unreservedly in relation to any student loan work.
