Consumer Complaint: I have been out of school for 10 years and paid off my student loan balance in XX/XX/2020. All of my student loans have been serviced by Fedloan Servicing. All 3 credit agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) show over 40 student loan accounts ( some of them from my XXXX degree which were paid off over 15 years ago ) which adversely impact my credit score. I am trying to buy a home and this is negatively impacting me. Many of the " accounts '' are loans with the same date. They won't fix this, and I submitted complaints with all 3 credit agencies. Their interface times out after 5 mins so it's impossible to go line by line to ask them to fix this issue. I have a XXXX balance and neither party thinks its their job to do anything. Fedloan Servicing, whom I called weeks ago, tells me to contact the credit agency, and the credit agencies tell me to contact the servicer to have the loan removed. Now I am stuck in the middle. This is outrageous.

Consumer Complaint: I was advised to complete a student loan rehabilitation program in XX/XX/XXXX by the U. S. Department of Education. I entered the program in XX/XX/XXXX. However, negative credit reporting was filed every month of my enrollment from XXXX XXXX. I was released from the rehabilitation program in XX/XX/XXXX, and entered a loan deferment status in XX/XX/XXXX due to my enrollment at the University XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX. After noticing the negative credit reporting I have attempted to contact the loan provider, U. S.

Issue: Communication tactics

Subissue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying

Consumer Complaint: AES/PHEAA has recently changed the due date of one or more loans on the account without my express permission and failed to alert me of the change. I was given little time to prepare for the specific amount due to the change in due dates. In addition, I do not agree with the change in due dates. AES will be forced to change the due date back once I file a complaint with the courts. I do not trust AES/PHEAA and wish for all correspondence to go through my attorney going forward. The representatives who respond, are cold and inhumane, treat me with disrespect, and do not care about cyber security. AES/PHEAA breached any contractual obligations by violating the consumer rights I have. Employees also tend to eat while speaking over the phone, and are not friendly or respectful. I'm offended by this lack of integrity.

Although a Defense to repayment was submitted and I was one of seven former students carefully chosen and interviewed by The Department of Justice to serve on a student led committee to over see the Bankruptcy case in which attorneys who at the time claimed it was pro bono provided or found by the Organization The Debt Collective, which led to numerous trips by car, airplane, numerous stays in hotels, hours upon hours of time spent in court proceedings in Delaware, XXXX XXXX, ect all told was being taken care of by judgements and funds from passed lawsuits and accounts solely for the Frauded students which was led to believe was restitution but never seen a dime and still even after years since the Bankruptcy Case, the lives destroyed, homelessness, lack of employment, lack of enrollment in other high institutions with the false promises of transferring of credits, denial of further credit for rental properties, car loans, medical bills from the stress, mental stress, depression, drug addictions, suicidal thoughts, ect, inability to access resources for additional help after the whole Attorney General lawsuits and media attention died down, myself and thousands of others are still reeling from this Department of Education and government backed for profit business which was guilty of numerous criminal charges, Federal charges all in the name of the students enrolled and ripped off, still to this day, documented all over the world wide web, multiple media outlets of Billions of dollars being sued an won all to be distributed to whom, and the new job the former California Attorney General XXXX XXXX now Vice President has all due to the small voice and One Small Women, Myself who started a complaint with some help from Congresswomen XXXX XXXX which in turn led contact to myself from The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, all in which I had telephone conversations, emails over months until I was told during one of the last conversations I Quote " XXXX XXXX, we want tk comment and stress we do not at all represent you in any way legally in regards to your complaint and information you have given to us and to possibly look for an attorney to help with anything further ''.

The most smallest of dealings that most of the higher income based individuals in which myself and the student led committee had dealings with in hopes of some financial regain for the thousands and thousands of dollars put out of pocket just to further our education with the belief in our government ran education department whom monatarely backed this umbrella corporation of multiple schools with so called accreditations which had no base or merit. This is my complaint after years of silence and being used and mentally abused and left with nothing, no help, no justice, no peace, homeless still in XXXX due to the numerous federal loans supposedly discharged but still clear as day on my credit report like it was yesterday and has had a very large impact on my ability to obtain housing, employment, further education, ect. I am not only at my bitter end but on the absolute brink of being a victim of our government and the streets in which I was left to parish.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Received bad information about your loan

Consumer Complaint: My loans were consolidated six in all at supposedly 2.2 percent on a 10 year loan. I paid on time for 10 years with a 2 year deferment while I went bankrupt. I looked to see if I could pay of the remaining balance because it should have been close to payoff. Instead the balance was unchanged. I challenged AES about the balance and they sent me documents that showed the interest rate at 7.25 percent which I never signed for. The documents contain very little information and no terms and conditions and the signature at the end is a supposedly electronic signature but there is no way I would have signed those documents. This ends up being like a 50 year loan. They must have had the terms and conditions at some point in order to set up a legal repayment plan. I believe it is a clerical error on their part and then they fraudulently forged document to cover their error. The documents provided meet no legal standards, it doesn't contain any identifiers doesn't say the lender doing the loan and mainly it says I was unemployed which I in no way was. They didn't have my employers information so they put unemployed which right there tells me it was altered not to mention the other things altered. Is seems pretty likely that AES altered the paperwork because they would have had to know that this payment plan would take 50 years and would not meet Federal Student Loan Guideline. If they did not know this loan was wonky then they should not be a student loan servicer.
