Subissue: Received bad information about your loan
Consumer Complaint: I recently submitted a complaint about how my loans were handled by Great Lakes. I received their response, and feel that they didn't provide responses to all of my issues. Since I didn't feel they were clear, and neither did a family member, my family member called this past XXXX XX/XX/XXXX to try resolve what outstanding issues I had. First, The manner in Great Lakes does reporting of the loans payments and interest being applied is quite confusing and borderline deceptive. Its difficult to see a true balance of the loans after a payment. With every other creditor I have, I can see exactly what amount I paid, how it was applied, and an ending balance. I don't see this with my loans with Great Lakes. It is quite confusing to track and follow a loan, when the creditor doesn't show a true balance after payments are applied. Secondly, my account summary indicates I have XXXX payments remaining. During the call on Friday XX/XX/XXXX, it was learned that I have XXXX payments remaining but ONLY if I pay {$540.00} for XXXX months and $ XXXX for the remaining months. There is no place on the account summary that displays that information. That is very deceptive and misleading on my account. Thirdly, there is no place on the website that alerts me to recertification and the process. If the recertification process is important it should be outlined and dates of recertification should be clearly visable to the consumer. My family member was told that I would get an email XXXX days before it is due. Why doesn't Great Lakes reveal a date, and why is when you call in, they say " XXXX days before its due ''? Why is this not listed as a " DATE ''. I can put a date reminder on my calendar, but its clear that a date is vital in the capitializled interest process. The previous response did NOT outline a date, and neither did the call rep until we insisted on a date. Why do we have to insist on a date, and why didn't the person responding to my previous complaint list a date? Again, a person can't help but feel deceived. Lastly, I show a payment was made on this account of {$500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and I don't see it listed on the report that was sent to me with my previous complaint.

Issue: Getting a loan
Subissue: Confusing or misleading advertising
Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX promised us when we would be placed on a job, that was not the case. When I finished getting my certificate I did not have any opportunities presented from the college. There was no job placement plans either and there was a career counselor in place but they did nothing to help. This was a waste of time and a lot of money. They also told us that our credits were transferable but that was not true either. I started XXXX XXXX XXXX in 2017 and none of the credits were transferable. So now I has to retake courses in order to complete this degree. I would have been finished and on to a better job but now I am still in school trying to complete my degree because the lack of those credits. XXXX XXXX mislead us and its unfortunate that my time and money was wasted, now I have almost 100k in loans because of this. This is ruining my life because its dooming my credit, so homeownership is out the question for me my children.

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2022 I received a call and text from XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, using ( XXXX ) XXXX. The message stated they were calling directly from the Department of Economic Impact. They wanted me to call back to enroll me in the student loan forgiveness program offered by the Biden administration. I called back and XXXX XXXX answered, he enrolled me in a program where I would make XXXX payments of {$190.00} USD directly to Nelnet, each monthly and with a XX/XX/2022 start date. After the 5 months, I would make {$39.00} USD payments directly to the Department of Education. I was told a total of {$31000.00} USD was deducted from my student loans. However, on XX/XX/2022 I realized the agreement I signed was very different from my recorded conversation with XXXX on XX/XX/2022. Instead of describing direct payments to Nelnet and the Department of Education, which XXXX XXXX guaranteed, the agreement stated payments to a third party by the name of XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I became aware of frauds using the Biden administration as pretext. On XX/XX/XXXX, I froze and canceled my debit card, information which XXXX XXXX had collected during our call the day prior to start monthly payments to Nelnet and the Department of Education. My bank representative shared that they had received several calls similar to mine. After freezing and cancelling my debit card, I noticed that the agreement I signed did not entirely match the legal entity or agreement that XXXX XXXX stated he represented. Instead, he represented XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/2022 I emailed XXXX XXXX to withdraw my consent from our agreement, effective immediately, and I notified him that I would be reporting him and his business to FTC for fraud.
