Overall Rating: 3.8 / 5 (Very good)

DocuPop is not a lender or loan servicer and does not provide debt relief services, meaning it cannot help student borrowers renegotiate, settle, or in any way alter the terms of their loans.

The company does, however, offer assistance with the preparation and submission of federal Direct Consolidation Loan applications.

As part of its service, DocuPop ensures the accuracy and precision of all forms before submitting them to the U.S. Department of Education.

Consumers should be aware that the company's full-service document preparation is NOT free and does not guarantee the approval of consolidation loan applications.

Applying for consolidation is free and can be a straightforward process if done through the U.S. Department of Education, yet those who don't want to complete the application themselves or don't have the time to do it may benefit from this service.

DocuPop Loan Specifics

Loan Specifications - 2.5 / 5

As a third party document preparation service, DocuPop assists borrowers seeking federal student loan consolidation by helping them apply for the repayment programs they qualify for and that best meet their needs.

It offers this service for federal student consolidation loans only, meaning it does not assist with private student loan consolidation or refinance.

Those interested in applying for a Direct Consolidation loan can use DocuPop's personalized technology at no cost to see the programs and plans for which they may qualify.

There will be a fee associated with the filing service only if the individual opts to complete the process through the company.

DocuPop offers two service packages: a "MeMium" plan that allows customers to print their completed documents and file the paperwork themselves for $199 and a "PREmium" plan that files the paperwork for them for $599.

Consumers should know the application process for federal consolidation loans is free if done directly through the U.S. Department of Education.

DO NOT USE DOCUPOP!! I had a terrible experience with this service. It seems they use 3rd party individuals to sell their services - but there is a big disconnect.
