I applied for a Stafford Loan and the financial aid guy said he has to check with the "servicer" to see if everything is on track. I thought he was the one that did that. So, does anyone know who these servicers are or what they do. I know it'd depend on the school but do they acutally work there? It's taking forever trying to get them to send for the load dispersment so I don't know if it's financial aid or this servicer that's lagging. How long does it usually take for the Stafford Loans to be completed?
