Why this rule existsrationale

Student-loan messaging is refused as a category because the fraud around it is industrial: forgiveness and consolidation offers by text are the delivery mechanism for advance-fee scams that charge borrowers for a free federal process. Carriers cannot tell a legitimate refinancer from that by reading a message, so they refuse the category and let the servicers who have a genuine relationship register on it. The line that decides your campaign is whether you service the loan you are texting about.

How to fix itremediation

Remove the acquisition offer. If you service the loans yourself, say so in the description in those words — who originated the loan, who services it, and that every recipient is an existing borrower — and keep the samples to account events rather than offers. Done when no message would make sense to somebody who is not already your customer.
