The Five-Points Plan to help make loans more manageable is:
1. Limit student loan payments to a reasonable percentage of income.2. Recognize that borrowers with children have less income available for student loan payments.3. Protect borrowers from high-interest charges when they face hardship situations.4. Cancel remaining debts when borrowers have made regular payments for 20 years.5. Simplify the application process for hardship deferrals and other repayment options.
