Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Need information about your loan balance or loan terms

Consumer Complaint: I dont have specific dates but a while back I submitted a reamortization request for my loan at Firstmark Services because I paid extra toward my principle. The monthly payment wasnt lowered as much as I thought it would be based on my calculations so I asked to see the paperwork for their calculations about 3 weeks ago. They said they could do this but around a week went by and I got nothing so I called back. They said that the request had been denied for an unknown reason so they submitted another request. Maybe around a week later I followed up because I still hadnt heard anything. They said the department was backed up because of the looming tax deadline and suggested I call back today if I hadnt gotten a response. This made sense to me so I obliged. Still havent gotten anything as of today so called and the loan advisor told me that I had to reach out directly to the customer service department. So I just did that XXXX minutes ago but Im doubtful Ill get the help I need based on my past interactions. Its a simple request and it feels like Im just getting bounced around. Seems like they are up to something sketchy. I know they make less money when I prepay which is why I think this. In the meantime while I am waiting for this paperwork my interest continues to pile up day after day. I have been holding off making another large payment toward my principle until I get this paperwork.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Received bad information about your loan

Consumer Complaint: My loan has been active since 2012, in that time I was guided into long term forbearance and into changing the loan multiple times to make payments. Had I known that you could constantly make XXXX payments the loan would be considered paid in full I would not have changed the loan. Over the years I have called Great Lakes multiple time asking questions and trying to find out the best option for my future. They guided me into changing my loan type multiple times ( each time the loan is changes the clock resets! ) I called yesterday and found out Im on a plan to pay off in XXXX XXXX I feel like the information Great Lakes was incorrect and troublesome. Because of their poor guidance I will not be finished with my loan for XXXX more years.
