A Student Loan Is Missing From the Payoff List
Find a missing student loan on a refinance payoff list by matching loan groups, balances and servicers before relying on the quote total.
In this guide
A refinance quote total cannot identify which loan groups are included.
Worked example
If two listed payoffs total $14,300 and the omitted group shows $2,200, that group is still a separate $2,200 item until the lender confirms its inclusion.
What to check
Check each original loan group against the payoff instructions, especially when one servicer holds multiple groups.
Next step
Ask the new lender to confirm the missing group and issue a revised itemized list if it is included. Use FinToku’s Student Loan Refinance Comparison to organize or compare the figures.
Official background: CFPB student loan resources. The example is illustrative and your written terms determine the applicable figures.
