Astrive Student Loans - private funding

[kimspractice]

I saw an ad for this company the other night while watching tv.

 

As usual, before I make any type of financial moves, I always come to CB to get advice.

 

Here's their website: Astrive Student Loans

 

Any advice????? Do you think they are legit?

 

This is what's on their website under "About Us"....
