Subissue: Trouble with how payments are handled
Consumer Complaint: I attended a public university and used a private student loan to pay part of my tuition. University Accounting Service, LLC ( " UAS '' ) serviced this loan. A few months ago, I consolidated this loan through XXXX to take advantage of a lower rate. When I consolidated, I overpaid UAS by {$340.00}. I emailed UAS requesting a refund and they replied that they would refund the excess amount in 60 days. After 60 days passed I followed up by email and they responded by asking me to call. When I called, they said that they do not issue refunds and that they will keep my money. I believe they are holding money that is rightfully mine. My statement reflects a negative balance. They acknowledged previously that I am entitled to a refund and I can not understand why they are refusing to give me back money that is rightfully mine.

Consumer Complaint: My complaint is against NCO Financial, formerly XXXX. Enough months ago to have cleared up this matter BEFORE losing my tax return, my husband received a phone call from NCO. They identified themselves, and made it known that I had about {$6000.00} in student loan debt and they were looking to collect on it. My husband informed them that I had been paying on my debt to rehab it and things turned sour there. He asked them to please not call again. The next day we received another phone call from them, to which my husband was told what I owed and it was an attempt to collect the debt. Things got even more sour and they were told to not call again. This company has my address on file, I had to verify it upon my phone call today to find out why they had taken my student loan with out given me written notice of my debt. I was not able to obtain any information only told that they can help me clear up my debt by making an arrangement. I never at any point prior to today 's conversation was made aware in writing that I owed a debt. I am filing this complaint today because even though they made a phone call and divulged my personal information to someone who was not authorized to have that information, they have not sent me, in writing, notice of my debt and subsequently took my tax return, without giving me ample opportunity to made good on the debt owed.

Consumer Complaint: Good Morning, My issue with this company was that in XXXX XXXX I signed up for their web hosting service. During their whole pitch it was n't mentioned that XXXX was tied to a one year contract. Well XX/XX/XXXX I was told by superlative that it was a one year contract by XXXX XXXX, the person that came to XXXX pitching his horrible web hosting service. So I tried cancel ; ling it the following month which was the anniversary month in XXXX XXXX. I left 2 voicemails and an email!!!! Thinking they had honor the request and I did as I was told, I was still charged the following month. They refused to grant my request!!! Then they kept charging be XX/XX/XXXX until I finally cancelled my card in XXXX XXXX. They kept calling me and harassing me. I told them I canclled them back on anniversary date which was XXXX XXXX but they refused to honor it. I then got a bill for {$100.00} on XXXX XXXX XXXX. A year way too late in which they finally agreed to cancel my contract. They decided to take it upon themselves to cancel it on their terms. I was told by their debt collection agency it was a 2 year contract now not 1 year like I was told by XXXX XXXX. This is outrageous and if you look them up on XXXX there are a ton of other victims of this horrible business practice. I am getting hit on my credit report for this injustice. I have warned my fellow agents about this horrible company. This company sent me emails in the spring of last year telling me I had to pay. I told them I could n't afford it anymore and was n't getting any results from their service. They threaten collection so I had to beg for an extension to pay for XX/XX/XXXX for a service I was n't using cause they supposedly did n't get my request. But I should n't have to pay for something I cancelled on my anniversary date on XXXX XXXX. The Collection agency transworld system has been assigned to this. They already hit my credit rating and I have yet to receive this supposed invoice that I owe. I will submit the final letter from Superlative stating that they were sending my supposed debt to Transworld Systems Inc . Prior to that letter they tried to blackmail me for a partial payment on an email for about XXXX dollars. I can FWD that email to the person ( s ) that will be looking into this. I will just need an email address to send this blackmail email. This has been so stressful and very uncalled for..
