Student Loan Assistance, LLC was a Florida-based company that operated as a third-party student loan debt relief service. The company advertised that it could help student loan borrowers lower their monthly payments by enrolling them in government-run repayment programs. Its business model focused on charging consumers upfront and monthly fees to prepare and submit applications for programs that borrowers could otherwise access for free through the U.S. Department of Education. In 2016, the company was permanently shut down following legal action by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the State of Florida for deceptive marketing practices and charging illegal advance fees.
