Consumer Complaint: I have two consolidated federal loans with Fedloan Servicing, one is a consolidation of direct subsidized loans and the other is a direct consolidation of unsubsidized loans ( both federal loans ).
I am attending a XXXX program full-time and while I am enrolled I do not pay interest on the unsubsidized consolidation loan.
I have made two payments in the last few months, one on XX/XX/2018 for {$5600.00} and a second one on XX/XX/2018 for {$3100.00}. The payment on XX/XX/2018 was supposed to be allocated in full to the DIRECT UNSUBSIDIZED CONSOLIDATION LOAN, just like a payment for {$1000.00} on XX/XX/2018 was eventually allocated solely to the DIRECT UNSUBSIDIZED CONSOLIDATION LOAN.
Two months have passed since I made that payment on XX/XX/2018. As I mentioned before I have recently made another payment on XX/XX/2018, which was also bizarrely distributed unequally between the SUBSIDIZED and the UNSUBSIDIZED loans.
Fedloan Servicing is unwilling to help me. They just keep repeating that the payment will be eventually allocated as I expect, but nothing has been done yet.
