Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Consumer Complaint: XXXX, XXXX, a dispute was submitted to XXXX. It was noted by me in XXXX that principal amounts of the students loans are incorrect. During the course of these loans, the service providers have changed several times and the principal amounts changed as well. Instead of bringing the balance to zero when transferring the loans from one servicer to the next, it stayed. The time period that is being disputed is XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX records says that The Department of Education and the FedLoan Servicing submitted to XXXX XXXX XXXX {$26000.00} on XXXX XXXX and on XXXX XXXX, submission of {$15000.00}. Keep in mind a Pell Grant was provided to me during these time periods and the tuition was less than {$10000.00} for the whole year. A dispute was made with XXXX and they indicate that these amounts are accurate and the principal balance is correct as indicated. The principal amount grew each time there was a new servicing agency. Example, The Department of Education transferred {$5500.00} to FedLoan. Once transferred the balance for the Department of Education should have been XXXX, while FedLoan would show {$5500.00}. Instead it shows that the principal amount is {$11000.00} instead of {$5500.00}. Then when it transferred from FedLoan to the next servicing agency, instead of showing the {$5500.00}, its now showing as {$16000.00} during the semester of XX/XX/XXXX. The same action happened for XX/XX/XXXX. This is ludicrous, the tuition was paid with a Pell Grant and part of the student loans. These amounts that are showing as accurate in the credit Bureaus are incorrect. As an XXXX, theres no way these amounts were given to me while at XXXX XXXX XXXX. It is the changing of the student loan servicing agencies that has driven up the principal of the loans. Each service provider is showing the same loan, XXXX is combining the amounts as accurate and they are not. XXXX is the new service provider and the principal is now over {$57000.00}. Theres no way the principal grew like this. The last semester that school was attended by me was the fall of XXXX. Unfortunately, for me, repayments of the loan was steady for 14 months during the time period of XXXX, I fell on hard times and was not able to continue making {$300.00} plus each month. Started raising my granddaughters. Its the servicing agencies not reflecting a XXXX balance after transferring the loans to a new agency. XXXX now, working part time and still taking care of my granddaughters. This incorrect amount is a heavy burden on me, different if it was accurate.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Subissue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Consumer Complaint: I have been in a non stop struggle with American Education Services ( AES ) who services my private student loan I took out during my XXXX education in XXXX when I was XXXX years old. The loan is through XXXX. AES has made it impossible for me to defer payments. In XX/XX/XXXX, I had my first child and was without work or pay due to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I had to fight to be able to postpone payments and since then, they have not allowed me any more deferment or forbearance time. On XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to potentially lower my payment and they suggested I apply for a loan modification. I received the form on XX/XX/XXXX and submitted it back to them via their online portal on XX/XX/XXXX. My elderly mother has power of attorney for my grandmother who co-signed my student loans nearly 20 years ago. My co-signer grandmother now lives in assisted living with XXXX and is unable to fill out the loan modification paperwork independently, and her assisted living home is XXXX hours away from my home. AES has found every reason to reject my loan modification- they needed the form to have N/As instead of blanks or zeros, despite working with them to fill out the forms repeatedly. They told me my paycheck was too small and unreadable, despite sending them the only check form Im able to receive from my employer. I submitted forms back and forth to them more than 7 times since XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX, and finally on XX/XX/XXXX, I get an email that my application was expired and I will need to start all over again. I am absolutely drowning in student loan payments. Between AES and another private loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am currently paying more than {$600.00} a month just in private student loans. This has made trying to buy a house impossible. I was late on XXXX payments waiting for them to finalize this loan modification but they are so desperate to squeeze every last dime out of hard working small families, they refuse to make any adjustments or accommodations, and even during the holiday season? Its pathetic. I worked on this during XXXX, my daughters XXXX XXXX, now through XXXX and potentially looking at having to fight with them through thei New Year.. and Ive already paid off the money I originally borrowed XXXX over - and I still have XXXX more years of payments. I am disgusted, discouraged and absolutely broken down by this process. I wish I could go back and tell my teenage self to avoid this servicer and this loan at all costs. This has cost me so much time, money, and peace, and Ill never get any of that back. All for what? To have a job I could have gotten without my XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I was conned into this and I have no way of getting out. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX how terrible is that?

Consumer Complaint: FedLoan Services transferred my XXXX XXXX to XXXX in XX/XX/2022. I noticed on my credit in XXXX that Fedloan continues to show my loan as open/active with over a $ XXXX balance. I now have XXXX student loans balances owed ( XXXX ) on my credit report!! I contacted Fedloan and they would not speak to me and the recording said for me to contact XXXX. I contacted XXXX and they said I had to dispute my credit report. I disputed both XXXX and XXXX and both results came back as account active and will not remove close/remove Fedloan from my account. I have since been denied credit as a result of this exorbitant loan balance and my debt to income ratio has been impacted.

Consumer Complaint: I submitted my IDR renewal with American Education Services on XX/XX/XXXX, which was the final day to submit. They then requested more information. I sent them via mail the paper application that they requested, my wife 's most recent paystub, my most recent pay stub and my tax return. They responded to me via a letter several days later on XX/XX/XXXX accusing me of not sending my own income information and telling me that I sent them the wrong tax return providing further instructions ( for the first time ) on which tax return information they needed. I then resent them my wife 's pay stub, my paystub and now the IRS form. They approved these forms on XX/XX/XXXX. Unfortunately, they decided to capitalize my interest stating that I missed the deadline. I have asked them via emailed exchanges how this was so. At first, I messaged them on XX/XX/XXXX noting that I applied on time. They responded the same date stating " we must receive all required documents within 10 days of the deadline. '' I responded noting that I had mailed it to them within the 10 days. They then responded XX/XX/XXXX by stating that " our office must receive the required documentation no later than 25 days before your current IBR schedule ends. '' They then referenced that this was stated in a recertification notice sent to me on XX/XX/XXXX ( attached ). However, on review of the document they reference, there is no mention of " 25 days '' or " XX/XX/XXXX. '' I find it frustrating that AES seems to do the bare minimum for the people it services and when it makes a mistake, refuses to atone for it. The most recent response states that my original application was " confusing, '' but they have not explained what was confusing about it. They seemed to not need another paper application when I re-mailed all my other supporting documentation as I did not mail a new paper application the second time. I only mailed my wife 's income, my income and the IRS tax form. Please let me know if there is any other supporting documentation.

Consumer Complaint: I contacted Myfedloan multiple times in XXXX and XXXX seeking my payment history for XXXX. I made payments in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. I need this information to satisfy the Maryland Higher Education Tax Credit. When I finally got through to someone in XX/XX/XXXX the third level supervisor said that the system had somehow been blocking my requests. They promised to send my full payment history. I received payment history information for XXXX but nothing for XXXX. My loans were forgiven in XX/XX/XXXX and Myfedloans is no longer in business. Since my loans were forgiven I don't think that I can access this information through XXXX.

Consumer Complaint: My previous student loan servicer was FedLoan Servicing. They transitioned my account to a new servicer, XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. A payment was made by my XXXX company XXXX to FedLoan right after the loan was transferred. The loan was transferred on or around XX/XX/XXXX and the payment was made to FedLoan on XX/XX/XXXX for {$700.00}. FedLoan is saying they can't help me since my account is not with them and they have not transferred the payment to my new servicer XXXX nor have they returned the payment to me.

Subissue: Frequent or repeated calls
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from XXXX which is AES ( student loans ). The rep was looking for my spouse and I advised he was not available and that i was his spouse and asked to have my number put on the Do Not Call list. The rep became very irate and mad and said no. I then advised that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I know that she is required to put me on the XXXX list when asked. She continued to harass me and speak over me which made me very frustrated and upset and I cried. She said stated that she was asking me simple questions and I was not understanding her and she was still raising her voice and sounding mad and annoyed. I then asked to speak to her manager/lead/senior and she refused. I asked if she was refusing to put my number on the XXXX list and she hung up on me. I am so frustrated and distraught at how I was treated. I know a large company like AES must have a way to put my number on the XXXX list and not be treated horribly. I then collected myself after being yelled at and crying and called the same number back and spent XXXX mins on the phone with another rep and explained my situation and she took notes and notated my husbands account but also advised that she was unable to put my phone number on a XXXX list because she did not have an account to do so with ( i was and am still confused by this ) and that my husband would need to call back. I am not obligated to his student loan in any way shape or form and he obtained the debt prior to us getting married so i do not know why they are calling me unless they are skip tracing. There is no way that my number could not be added to a XXXX list. I then also asked if I could submit a formal complaint and she said no, because her system does not allow her to do so. We left it as her notating the account, even though she said that she was not able to locate an account, and that she was not able to put my number on the XXXX list or file a formal complaint and that my husband would need to call back by XXXX XXXX to talk further and take my number off his account. XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX AES XXXX again after speaking with them on XX/XX/XXXX. Asked for a manager and XXXX put me on a hold to get to a manager. I asked if they had read the notes and that this number should be on the Do Not Call list. She said she would put the number on the list today and submit a complaint after the call ended. I want restitution for being harassed by AES and them not following directions. This is absolutely unacceptable!

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2020, I paid off my federal loan balance of ~ {$75000.00} through a loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Following the announcement of the student debt relief plan, as I was a XXXX XXXX Recipient making below {$120000.00}, I attempted to reach my Servicer - FedLoans Servicing PHEAA- to request a {$20000.00} refund, but learned that they had closed down and thus could not provide a refund. Because my loan balance was {$0.00} at the time the shutdown, my account did not get transferred to another servicer and I have no way of requesting or receiving the refund I am due according to the relief plan. Please help.
