"Mother-Daughter Duo Overcomes Student Loan Debt and Divorce Struggles"

Arianna Miskin helped her mother, Susan Miskin, a retired New York City public-school teacher, get her $92,000 student loan balance canceled through the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. Susan's debt was older than her daughter, and she had made more than $30,000 in payments, but her interest rate had spiked due to consolidation and interest compounded during forbearance periods. Arianna spent hours on hold with loan servicers and used temporary waivers from the Biden administration to navigate the complex rules and red tape. She succeeded in getting her mother's loans forgiven, and Susan is now debt-free.
