Can I request a deferment or forbearance on my Citi Student Loan payments?

Yes, it is possible to request a deferment or forbearance on your Citi Student Loan payments. Typically, these options are available to borrowers who may be experiencing financial hardships or other qualifying circumstances that make it difficult to make regular payments. A deferment temporarily postpones the payment of principal and interest on your loan, while forbearance allows you to temporarily stop or reduce your payments without affecting your loan’s status. To initiate the process, borrowers usually need to provide documentation that supports their request, such as proof of unemployment, financial difficulties, or enrollment in further education for deferment. Each case is generally evaluated individually, so approval will depend on the details of your situation. It is advisable for borrowers to check the current terms, eligibility requirements, and application processes for deferment or forbearance directly on the Citi Student Loans website. There, they can also find the necessary forms and guidelines for submitting a request. Additionally, it is good practice to ensure that you stay informed about how a deferment or forbearance may impact the overall repayment of your student loans.
