I don't want to make anything. But there are lots of people like me with disorganized and confusing student loans...

  "I don't want to make anything" Not sure what you meant by that. Make a service? Make money? You seemed to be suggesting this was a market that needs a service to help people get less disorganized. There are loads of free debt calculators that will show you that by adding $X/month to a payment you'll be out of debt Y months earlier. There's no real magic or rocket science to this. Having a service that visualized all of it might be a bit motivational for some people, but doing anything that speaks to student loans is going to require work. Which is going to requirement payment, meaning the service would need to charge money or show ads. Neither of those sit well with me with respect to the audience - they're already self-identifying as being in debt - sometimes massively. It just doesn't feel like a good market to try to make money from. It sounds like you're looking for something that can automatically send payments on your behalf, check that they were received, and suggest when to send extra payments. Or was there something else?

    "something that can automatically send payments on your behalf, check that they were received, and suggest when to send extra payments" Yes. Why not make money? So long as the revenue doesn't come from the debtor, who gives? Sure they have debt, but I mean... I still have plenty of money, a job, etc. It's not like we're talking about making money from homeless and staving babies.
