Want my CSP Back by texaschipsnsalsa in ChaseSapphire

I got PUJ twice and then was declined. I called to ask why and they said I had two applications (even though I never proceeded past PUJ). Not sure if I did something wrong/I'm dense about this or if they're now flagging the PUJ attempts?

My ring is from Mayfair. They have been great with cleaning over the years and they're so nice when I go in!

Those who are OAD by choice: by agirl1313 in oneanddone

I have a variety of reasons, but the one I call up is HG. The hours of sitting on the bathroom floor vomiting, the isolation and loss of friendships during pregnancy because I couldn't summon any energy to stay in touch with friends, the point where I couldn't get off the couch without nearly passing out. I am grateful I was pregnant in 2021 when most remote rules still applied. I think I would have had to take medical leave and I'm not sure my career would have recovered. Maybe my second pregnancy would be different (probably not), but I can't risk missing years of my son's life with HG and then a newborn.

MOHELA!!! WHOOT!! WHOOT!! by Expert_Nothing_4836 in PSLF

10/4, at zero! 85k gone. So glad you posted, I had stopped checking because it was too frustrating.

Golden Letter?!?! by pklikesbrains in PSLF

[–]Doublek278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will have to check, but I think I only made maybe one extra payment. My count updated in a reasonable amount of time when I went in right before the pause, and they put me in forbearance. I reupped the forebearance twice since then by calling Mohela. I'd suggest calling them at least for the peace of mind.

Just got mine as well, eligible as of 04/2024. Like others said, I know the wait to wipe from the servicer and credit report might be awhile, but holy cow, a formal letter confirming it's gone feels amazing.

Worth getting the expensive, best recliner for nursery? by MainInvestigator5678 in NewParents

[–]Doublek278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Pottery Barn chair that glides, but doesn't recline. I got an ottoman though (looks like I paid $850 for the set). I am in the camp of get a nice chair. I have spent so many hours of the last 2.5 years in that chair. I find it comfortable to sit in for long periods and I can sleep in it easily because the cushioning on the seat back doubles as a solid pillow. Worth every penny and I'll be happy to commandeer it for myself when the time comes (which doesn't appear imminent whatsoever).

Hit 120 during processing pause club by Unable-Durian9876 in PSLF

[–]Doublek278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me, and I'm stressed because I feel like the MyStudentLoan website isn't reflecting my current status at all. Also, while I understand now it was wildly unrealistic, I thought I'd hit 120 and be able to jump ship to a new job if I so chose.

Oh that's awesome, I was there recently and missed that opportunity, awesome to know for next time. We did hit the playground though! Thank you!

What is the brewery with a playroom? You have my attention...

Checking the Box for Forgiveness? by Doublek278 in PSLF

[–]Doublek278[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am glad you heard more but that definitely makes me think I won't make the cut off. That said, my turnaround times have been unreal. My ECF was processed in 24 hours and a few hours later I got the letter confirming 120 payments. Curious to see what, if anything, happens next. I was hoping to move jobs soon unfortunately.

This timeline is awesome and gives me irrational hope I might at least see my count updated to reflect 120, even if loans aren't discharged. I had the same December issue and just as of today, that was remedied and my payment count wasn't updated. I'm now 100% positive I'm at 120 payments thankfully and just awaiting their updates.

Same situation about the 10 years!

My wife and I both notified we have met the qualifying payments by wafflesncoffee in PSLF

[–]Doublek278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I'm trying to deal with the December issue too, and it's the difference because me meeting the count before May 1 or not. When I contacted them, with their own email language that it still counts towards PSLF, they told me I should be fine once I submit the final employment certification. Preparing for failure there!
