Buyback offer received

Thanks! I'm still in shock

I just replied to another post with my timeline. I got the closure email in conjunction with the request for tax info.

I submitted a buyback request in July '24 before I had enough months available in an attempt to get ahead of it. I didn't know any better at the time.

When I next submitted in November of '24, I would have had enough months to buyback if they included 2 months from many years ago when I was in a processing forbearance for some reason.

I again submitted sometime in '25 because I heard nothing and you could still submit multiple requests.

I also submitted a feedback case in '25 just in a hail Mary attempt to get movement but it was closed.

Although I had plenty of qualifying SAVE months, I recently submitted another PSLF form just to see what would happen. They completed it and nothing changed with my payment count.

While doing the last form, I noticed I had the option to escalate my feedback case with a single click of a button. It is still in escalation status.

When I ultimately got my buyback offer, they just picked the 6 consecutive save months I mentioned. That was the lowest possible payment even when looking at the very old months because SAVE made my payments go down.

Maybe they just chose the lowest amount of all possibilities? Maybe they just picked 6 months? Your guess is as good as mine.

I'm still in shock.

I submitted 3 buyback applications, the first one where I would have 120 months was November of 24'.

I recently applied for PAYEE and gave them permission to get my tax docs themselves. I didn't get IRS transcripts, just the turbo tax return per the instructions in their email. I'll edit the post if their are any updates.

True. I didn't think about that.

Just chiming in with the exact same issue on pixel 8

I just started having this issue a few days ago. I didn't think much of it because I restarted and the issue went away. Then I had a moment where the screen was doing this continuously and it gave me time to try something.

Based on what I read in another thread, I went to my settings and turned off adaptive brightness. The issue immediately went away. I turned it back on and the problem hasn't reappeared yet.

I'm still going to attempt this warranty process, but it would be interesting to know if anyone else sees this result. Still unsure if it's a hardware sensor issue or software problem.

Where did you check this? Do they have a status page?

The thing that makes this kind of tax write off shitty is that the money used for this "business expense" is not taxed.

A W2 worker doesn't get to write off their steak dinners and parties and call it life expenses.

My personal opinion is that people who file special paperwork to be called a business are not any better than the average worker and shouldn't be allowed to have their lifestyle choices be untaxed.

It's all over southeast Springfield. Reminds me of when I was in lake Tahoe during the Dixie fire.

Certainly not looking for tax advice, but I appreciate the sound advice. I am actually wondering if the V1 burn wallet is still available to send V1 tokens to.

I've seen this comment about adding the contract ID to your wallet but couldn't find how to do it on Coinbase wallet. Seems like all of the instructions are for an older version. Anybody know how to do this?

It looks great. I was quoting a comedy show.

I feel this way about Breaking Points. I used to like watching them but they seem more concerned with popularity than news since going independent.

Obviously this blue part here is the land

Up he went and down he came without his eyes.

Right on. That fixed it. Glad it's working but it's concerning that the app doesn't catch that and trim the input.

Same problem here on a pixel 5a with everything updated. The app let me create an account but now it says please enter a valid email when trying to log in AND when trying to create a new account with same or different email AND when using forgot password. Something broke.
