Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled
Consumer Complaint: I am part of the loan forgiveness program, after I make 120 payments on time I should have my loan forgiven. I have made 70 qualifying payments, the computer says I made 47, I have been calling for 14 months and they always say they are working on fixing the problem, but 14 months and I have no response.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Subissue: Received bad information about your loan
Consumer Complaint: I was previously having my loans serviced by XXXX and was on a payment plan with a low payment for the year based on my limited income. I then switched my lender to XXXX as part of the PSLF program. Before switching I spoke to XXXX and was told I could continue with my existing plan at my current payment. After switching I was told I would need to resubmit a plan. I called XXXX again on XX/XX/XXXX and I was told again that I could continue with my previous payments but my plan would be changed in XXXX after tax season. Today I received an email stating I owed over {$2000.00} and after calling XXXX I learned that everything I was told was a lie and now I need to change my plan which will cause my interest to compound costing me thousands of dollars. XXXX directly lied to me to increase my student loan burden.

Consumer Complaint: As a client I now have legal rights that are granted to me to secure me from mis-information being accounted on my own credit report. At this time I need to make a final petition for investigation before I visit my attorney for information on how to handle inaccurate and unverifiable things that are ongoing to be confirmed as real.

Consumer Complaint: XXXX has been non-compliant with removing the unverified account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which has been deleted by XXXX and XXXX. XXXX and XXXX have both completed their research and determined that XXXX XXXX XXXX was not established by myself but XXXX keeps verifying this accounts. Also, when I called the company they responded that XXXX did not send them all of the verifying evidence to confirm each account is unverified.

Consumer Complaint: Creditor is reporting accounts that are invalid and unverified. XXXX have investigated this account and they concluded the account was not matching my records of being assigned to me. I would like proof these accounts were disputed per FCRA/ FDCPA. This is causing me anguish and its slandering my good name. Please block this account from my report so I can breathe again.

Consumer Complaint: I have been disputing with XXXX XXXX for over a year. Ive filed disputes with XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX. XXXX deleted XXXX a inaccurate accounts all together but XXXX is still reporting late payments on my credit files with XXXX and XXXX. They are reporting a 90 day late payment in XX/XX/2017 and reporting a 120 late payment in XX/XX/2017 but in XX/XX/2017, XXXX is reporting that the account was paid on time. How is it possible that in XX/XX/2017, the account was in good standing showing paid on time and suddenly ONE month later in XX/XX/2017, the account was reported 90 days late. Thats not accurate at all especially since my account was in forbearance. This error shows the negligence of XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I sent requests for correction to XXXX and they denied it and I disputed with XXXX and XXXX and they both keep saying its correct. This error couldve been caught earlier on if a person did a thorough scan of the account but instead, Ive had to endure credit rejections for over a year due to these inaccurate late payments.

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled
Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX I began working as a post-doc at XXXX XXXX, which qualifies for PSLF. I have been working to get my student loan payments into PSLF and on the correct payment plan since before they even came due from grace ( XX/XX/2018 ). I managed to get PSLF status and transfer to XXXX XXXX. I paid XXXX prior to having a payment due because of the switch from XXXX. XXXX has placed my account in paid ahead status, which I requested repeatedly to have permanently removed, as this prevents payments from being counted towards PSLF ( called XX/XX/2018, agents # XXXX and XXXX ). I was told the status was removed. It was not. I paid {$60.00} in XX/XX/XXXX ( on a {$58.00} payment which showed owing nothing ). My bill is still showing paid ahead status, and in this status I can not make PSLF-qualifying payments ( at least they do not show up on my statement as qualifying, per my XX/XX/XXXX payment ). I called again today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and was told that the status was removed previously, but the loan still shows as paid ahead for XX/XX/XXXX. I have set up to only pay the required payment for XX/XX/XXXX, but I need to pay more than the set payment as this will not cover interest and my loans will balloon. If I end up moving out of government work/PSLF-qualifying work, this will cause me to owe an insane amount of money. This should be simple, XXXX should be able to apply any extra payment to interest/principle as requested repeatedly ( I have also e-mailed via secure system twice ) and my payments should be PSLF-qualifying. They seem to be unwilling to actually do so.

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I received my first notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX to recertify my income for an IBR payment, and it stated that I had until XX/XX/XXXX to recertify or my payment would change to a Standard payment amount of {$2000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I recertified on XX/XX/XXXX, and I was approved on XX/XX/XXXX for a payment amount of {$290.00} monthly to start on XX/XX/XXXX. In the process, my next bill for a payment due on XX/XX/XXXX stated that I owed {$2000.00}, significantly higher than the amount I had been paying. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, and after explaining the situation to an agent, I was advised that they did see the error and would correct it within three days so I could make my XXXX payment and still be eligible for PSLF with that payment as it should not have gone up. By XX/XX/XXXX, it still had not changed, so I called again, and I was informed that it could take 7-10 days, however it should be fixed by XX/XX/XXXX as that would be when I needed to make my payment. On XX/XX/XXXX, it still had not changed, and I called back. I was initially advised that I submitted my recertification late, thus the reason for the change, however I referred the agent to the letter sent on XX/XX/XXXX, and she advised me that I could not make my XXXX payment at this time as she was putting an Administrative Override on that payment since the amount was incorrect in the system. She advised me, however, that it would show up as past due for 30 to 60 days as it would take that long to fix. I am very concerned about this as this may then impact my credit report and show that I am not paying my lender on time given the long time it takes to process, especially when this error was not my fault. I have always recertified on time and made payments on time, so this is very troubling. I am also concerned that I continue to receive different information, and I no longer trust that this may be handled properly. Also, for reference, I was with XXXX up until XX/XX/XXXX, and they originally approved a 12 month IBR for XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. When I recertified with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, they started my new payment amount immediately ( as of XX/XX/XXXX ), though it should have started on XX/XX/XXXX. It appears that the error started there, and as such, I am now being penalized.

Consumer Complaint: Had difficulty contacting student loan grantor to submit forbearance/deferment request and representative at my college institution was not properly assisting me in getting the forbearance/deferment request submitted. I initially tried to contact school and loan grantor to set up arrangement in XX/XX/2018 and did not manage to get forbearance/deferment completed, accepted and posted until XX/XX/2018. Due to this the loan grantor reported on my credit that i was delinquent on each student loan debt as the full amount is currently broken up into parts on my credit report. The forbearance/deferment request was accepted and on my credit is says that i was late to make the payments however this was not due to my own negligence but rather was due to the loan grantor and school not assisting me in a timely manner to get the request processed.
