Private Student Loan Cosigner Release Declined
If a private student loan co-signer release is declined, document the stated requirement, payment history and when to ask for reassessment.
In this guide
Identify the requirement the servicer says is unmet and record when it can be reassessed.
Worked example
A lender lists 24 qualifying payments and reports 22. Ask which two payments did not qualify before assuming that two future payments will resolve it.
What to check
Compare the release policy, decision reason, payment history and any income or credit documentation requested.
Next step
Ask for the next review date and what documentation could clarify the decision. Use FinToku’s Student Loan Refinance Comparison to organize or compare the figures.
