After 35 years, man receives $119,500 student debt forgiveness and $56,801 government refund

Marlon Fox recently received an email that informed him his $119,500 student loan had been forgiven. At 65, after 35 years of struggles, he is among the 930,000 to benefit from the Education Department's review of borrowers. The department's review resulted in more than $45 billion in aid and included not only debt forgiveness but also refunds for overpayments. Fox plans to use his refund to pay off his children's student loans.

Relief for Borrowers

The Education Department's review of borrowers has brought relief to many, with over 930,000 individuals benefitting from the forgiveness of student loans and refunds for overpayments. Marlon Fox's experience is just one example of the positive impact of this initiative.
