Direct Loans
are federal student loans that are originated by and held by the Department of Education.
There are two types of
FFEL(P) loans
: some are held by the government, and some are held by private bank lenders. Loans held by private bank lenders are known as “commercially held FFELs.” Although both are considered “federal loans” because they were authorized by federal law, payments that you made on commercially held FFEL loans were made to bank lenders, not to the Department of Education. The Department of Education does not have the legal authority to refund payments made to commercial lenders. Please note that some companies service multiple kinds of loans. For example, Navient can service Direct, FFEL, and/or private loans. Therefore, knowing that you have loans with Navient (or another servicer) is not an indication of the type of loans you have. If you’re unsure whether you have Direct or FFEL loans, or whether your FFEL loans are commercially held, please visit the National Consumer Law Center’s Student Loan Borrower Assistance
page
for helpful resources on figuring out what kind of loans you have. If you want to find out who your federal loan servicer is, click
