Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Consumer Complaint: I received an email informing me that my credit score had dropped 160 points. Last I checked I had put my student loan on a income based plan. I received no notification that I had missed any payment prior to my credit monitoring notification. They claimed I missed 3 {$59.00} payments which some how totaled to over {$280.00}, wit a {$250.00} payment pending for XX/XX/XXXX. First, I sent out a good will letter on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke to a Great Lakes represented who told me that she would put my account on hold so I wouldn't be charged again and that the interest would be deleted. I even went on my own to studentaid.gov and personally applied to the income based payment plan because I did not trust her. XXXX that following day I received a notification from my credit report that my credit had dropped an additional 54 points. When I logged into my Great Lakes account I saw that there was no pending payment owed, but my loan had been put on forbearance for 3 months and after that I would be paying more than I originally had arranged. I did not agree to put my loan in forbearance I have been violated on multiple levels. Shortly after I logged in to Great lakes I received an email saying the I was approved for the forbearance and suggested I apply for the income based repayment plan what was the payment plant I asked to be put back on.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Consumer Complaint: I am enrolled in auto debit on an income-based plan. My monthly payment should be automatically paid. I enrolled in classes. Despite asking them NOT to put my loans in deferment, they did anyway. Then, when I asked them to take them out of deferment, they gave me the option to do so in a way that would lead me to be overdue on payments or not overdue on payments. ( immediately or shorten ) I chose the later option. But, they instead ended the deferment immediately, and then reported my account as overdue and capitalized the interest due. They've sort of fixed it by taking the account to the present, but the interest has still be capitalized and I have still missed a payment in their records. And, they made me agree to a forbearance, which means that I agree to the capitalization of interest. But, this was the only way to avoid being marked as paying late.
