Betsy, Addison, and the whole TISLA team are literal lifesavers. I would have no idea what to do, or what my options are, if it weren't for them. The student loan situation is so very messy and complex, and our servicers have not yet proven capable of helping borrowers navigate it. Only TISLA has proven capable of that. These people deserve every resource possible because countless borrowers like myself would be in a much, much worse financial situation if not for them. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, and I hope to God - for all our sakes - that you never go anywhere.

Thanks so much, you guys provide an absolutely essential public service and are the only reliable resource I know for help with these endlessly frustrating, demoralizing, and opaque challenges. Can't say enough good things about your organization. Unfortunately I think you'll be even busier in the new year. Thanks a million!

I can’t imagine what I would have done without your advice on reddit. I was a lurker, never commenter, but like so many, was guided by your poised voice of reason though this crazy process. Thank YOU for your service and for being our champion!

TISLA's been invaluable in understanding & navigating my student loans. TISLA's a lifesaver. TISLA was recommended to me by an attorney. After they resolved an issue with a university I had a few more questions / issues. The att'y could have made more bucks, but suggested I try TISLA & its reddit sites first. I thought "wha?" But it was great advice. I've recommended TISLA to many others. Please continue this public service

I'm so thankful for your organization and most of all Betsy! I was feeling so helpless with my parent plus loan and the double consolidation process..I was told no by Mohela but she insisted ( along with Addison) that I be patient and submit it again on paper and it worked!I appreciate you and hope you can continue to help others with their loan situations!
