Product: Federal student loan servicing

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan

Consumer Consent Provided to Share Complaint: Consent provided

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX I began correspondence with XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX to try and reconcile a defaulted student loan that was in collection with wage garnishment. The contract was for {$1100.00} to be paid over 3 months all the while wages were still being tarnished. Also, to finalize this contract I had to provide XXXX XXXX XXXX with my log in information for the US Dept of Ed. By the end of XXXX I still had not heard from XXXX XXXX XXXX and further action they would be taking on my behalf and my wages were still being tarnished. Finally on XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from XXXX XXXX requesting extensive personal information. It was at this point I began questioning the validity of the company because w the requested information along with my US Dept of Ed log in information this company would have adsolutely all my personal information. I was very uneasy with this so I requested a refund for the {$1100.00} since XXXX XXXX XXXX has taken no action and my wage garnishment was still continuing. I spoke with XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and he denied my request for a refund. After numerous phone calls back and forth I was told by XXXX that I would be receiving a check in the mail in 5-7 business days. After the 7 business days I had still not received a check so I called XXXX XXXX back and was told I would not be getting a refund. He stated I would have to have my bank call and disput the charges. When my bank called and spoke ton XXXX XXXX he told them they would have to do a charge back. This was not possible for my bank to do since these transactions no longer qualified for a charge back. At this point XXXX XXXX refused to work with me any further. All I would like is a refund of my money collected for services that were never provided.
