Aidvantage will never ask you for
Federal Student Aid says the U.S. Department of Education and its partners, including loan servicers, will never ask for your StudentAid.gov account username or password (your FSA ID login).

Federal Student Aid says you do not need to pay anyone to help you repay your federal student loans or reach loan forgiveness. Loan servicers help you switch to a new repayment plan at no cost, and its loan forgiveness programs are always free.

Known scams
Federal Student Aid warns that scammers often ask for an up-front or monthly fee while promising immediate and total student loan cancellation. Most federal forgiveness programs require years of qualifying payments or employment in certain fields.

Federal Student Aid says aggressive forgiveness messages, such as ones that tell you to act immediately before a program is discontinued or that your loan is flagged for forgiveness and you must call now, do not come from the Department of Education or its partners.

Federal Student Aid warns that scammers may ask for your StudentAid.gov username and password and may use official-looking names, seals and logos. If you shared your login, change your password, check your account contact details and file a complaint with Federal Student Aid.

Verification notes
Aidvantage is the trade name of Maximus Education, LLC (site footer: "Maximus Education, LLC dba Aidvantage"). It services Direct Loans and FFELP loans held by the U.S. Department of Education. Aidvantage welcome flyers say borrowers came from Navient (logins kept) and from FedLoan Servicing. No 2025-2026 change to Aidvantage's federal servicing role was confirmed on a source. Aidvantage's web pages load phone numbers and addresses with scripts, so the values here come from PDF flyers on images.aidvantage.studentaid.gov.
