Consumer Complaint: It is time for me to recertify my Income Driven Repayment plan for my student loans. I submitted my request on XX/XX/2018 and I was told I would receive a follow up email a month ago, each day the due date keeps getting pushed back. Now I am supposed to receive email on XX/XX/2018. I haven’t received an email. I’ve asked them what is going on, and haven’t received a reply.
Please help. Thank you.
