Consumer Complaint: The service provider, XXXX XXXX XXXX, has not correctly calculated my payments credible to the Public Loan Service Forgiveness Program. I alerted them in XX/XX/2018 and escalated it in XX/XX/2018 to the ombudsman office. This issue has still not been resolved. I have also contacted XXXX XXXX ‘s office and the Department of Education who closed the case out without resolving the issue. I am attaching all the payments I made. There was a miscalculation on how the payment was applied, which is affecting the credible payments. I can show all payments were timely, yet this is still not resolved. I am missing around 3 years of payments.
Thanks, XXXX XXXX, XXXX
