Product: Student loan

This is my second time filing a complaint on the same company ; therefore the first part I write will be a repeat from my first complaint. 
I was looking into a " student loan forgiveness program '' and I came upon Equitable Acceptance. I spoke with this company on XX/XX/XXXX for over an hour as they explained to me that I would need to pay {$49.00} every month for approximately 3 years and after the three years of paying faithfully my student loan would be forgiven. I was super excited and agreed to this. I have been paying {$49.00} faithfully since with extra fees added on at times. In XX/XX/XXXX I paid {$55.00} ; XX/XX/XXXX I paid {$100.00} ; XXXX XXXX I paid {$50.00} and {$53.00}. I received a federal loan statements in XX/XX/XXXX and this is when I became confused ; therefore I did not pay Equitable Acceptance in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke to Equitable Acceptance who then explained to me that I paid them to find a student loan forgiveness company for me and there is nothing they can do about them not paying my student loan, but I would need to continue to pay Equitable Acceptance or they would send me to collection. This of course scared me as I am currently working on my credit and do not want anything sent to collection so I agreed to start paying them again in XX/XX/XXXX. I did ask for the name and phone number of the company they had found to pay my student loans off and they told me XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX and I called this number multiple times ; including today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and left messages requesting a call back and I have yet to receive a call back and each time I have called I have never spoke with a live person. Today I called and spoke to the U.S. Department of Education and told them my situation and they were very helpful and understanding and they had informed me that plenty of people has been scammed with these other companies. I really need help on what I need to do because I don't want to keep paying money to a company that is not doing what they had told me they would do for me. 
The following is the e-mail from the company telling me that my student loan will be paid : XXXX, This is an update from XXXX XXXX regarding your student loan submission.

Best regards, XXXX XXXX My student loan was never paid by the company. The following is an email from the federal student loan requesting for a payment. When I started receiving calls and email from the department of education requesting for a payment I called EAC and XXXX XXXX and EAC basically said there was nothing they can do about it and student advocates would not answer the phone. This is when I knew I had to turn to CFPB for some help.

The first time I sent my complaint EAC responded stating the following ; Company 's Response Ms. XXXX 's allegations, and demand are inaccurate, unfounded, defamatory, contrary to the documents she signed, as well as contrary to Equitable Acceptance Corporations ( EAC ) records and recorded conversations with Ms. XXXX. Ms. XXXX has benefitted substantially from the underlying transactions since the Fall of XXXX. Any present problems are the result of her failing to return many emails and telephone calls, and to comply with her contract and instructions. At best, Ms. XXXX is confused, or has been misled badly about the underlying transactions. This response will attempt to clarify the underlying transactions. As is explained below, however, Ms. XXXX does not owe EAC anything any longer, and EAC has requested that the credit bureaus with which it does business delete the EAC account from Ms. XXXX 's credit history. As an initial matter, and contrary to Ms. XXXX complaint, EAC did not solicit or otherwise offer in any way to assist Ms. XXXX with her student loan debt. No representative of EAC contacted Ms. XXXX about her student loan debt, or made any representation to her about her student loan debt. Any suggestion to the contrary is just simply wrong. To the contrary, Ms. XXXX entered into a document preparation and service agreement with a separate company unrelated to EAC XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX  ). EAC was not a party to that agreement, and is, again, a separate unrelated company. The agreement between Ms. XXXX and XXXX, more importantly, clearly disputes Ms. XXXX 's concerns, and in particular the nature of her underlying arrangement with XXXX. Her contract with XXXX clearly states that it is a private company not affiliated with the Department of Education, and that XXXX  would work directly on Ms. XXXX 's behalf with the DOE to help her identify assistance programs offered by the DOE. Ms. XXXX 's agreements with XXXX further state and make clear that she could, if she so chose, try on her own to navigate the DOE student loan debt relief process herself without paying anyone a fee. According to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, however, the DOE student loan debt relief process is unnecessarily complex and borrowers too often confront an impenetrable bureaucracy that prevents them from accessing their rights. Searching for Relief : Desperate Borrowers and the Growing Student Loan Debt Relief Industry, XX/XX/XXXX. Companies like XXXX  thus offer their services for a fee, which is plainly set forth and made clear in the documents, to assist student loan debtors navigate this impenetrable bureaucracy. XXXX   simply facilitates its clients access to income driven and similar programs offered by and/or through the DOE. Depending on the clients family size and income, the client may qualify, under an existing governmental program with predetermined benefits available depending on the clients individual circumstances, for debt relief, including reduced monthly payment obligations. The amount of any payment reduction depends on where and how the clients personal circumstances fit into a predetermined program and schedule of benefits. Determining what predetermined benefits are available to XXXX   clients is one of the primary services provided by XXXX. In order to provide this service, XXXX obtains the requisite information needed from the debtor, and completes on behalf of the debtor the requisite DOE applications and forms. The service provided does not include negotiating for any forgiveness or reduction of the debtors loans. The service simply involves determining what relief is available to a specific debtor and applying for that relief. The service may result in reduced monthly payments for a period depending on the debtors individual circumstances, and consolidation of the debtors loans. That is the benefit received by the student loan debtor. The DOE process also requires thereafter annual renewals, which XXXX may, with certain clients, also agree to handle for the debtor for an agreed amount of time. In a number of respects, the service offered by and available through XXXX is similar to a tax payor hiring a tax preparer to prepare the persons tax returns. The tax payor could, if they so choose, attempt to prepare their returns on their own, or they can hire the tax preparer to do it for them. If the tax preparer is hired, a fee is charged for the service of completing the tax returns. The tax payors resulting tax burden is not affected by the tax preparer. The tax burden is a function of the tax payors individual circumstances and how they fit into a predetermined set of tax rules. XXXX 's offer of services to student loan debtors, like Ms. XXXX, is similar. In exchange for XXXX   assistance in navigating and completing the DOE process, XXXX  charges a disclosed fee. The end result again for the student loan debtor is a function of the student loan debtors personal circumstances and how they fit into a predetermined income driven or similar program and schedule of benefits. It is solely the clients individual circumstances, which drive and determine what level of assistance or relief is available to a XXXX client. If a student loan debtor decides to hire XXXX to apply for whatever benefits are available to the student loan debtor, an agreement by and between the debtor and XXXX   is then memorialized in a written agreement and other related documents necessary to complete the DOE process e.g., financial information such as income and family size is obtained. The agreement contains a number of disclosures and terms, including but not limited to that the student loan debtor is free to try and navigate the DOE process on their own, and they are not obligated to pay XXXX unless and until XXXX successfully completes the DOEs benefit application process for the debtor. With respect to Ms. XXXX specifically, XXXX   offered to wade through all the DOE paperwork, websites and applications for her, and obtain for her whatever benefits were available to her. If requested by Ms. XXXX, XXXX would assist her with assembling and processing the applications and documents, which make up the student loan debt assistance programs offered by the DOE, and also assist her with any annual renewals or re-certifications. There was no service fee due from Ms. XXXX to XXXX unless and until XXXX  obtained for Ms. XXXX whatever benefits were available specifically to her. With this background, the records and information available to EAC indicate that Ms. XXXX then chose not to attempt the process on her own, and instead hired XXXX to do it for her. The written agreement executed by and between Ms. XXXX and XXXX  is quite clear. XXXX then performed its part of the bargain for Ms. XXXX and applied for the DOE benefits available to her. For example, XXXX  applied for and obtained enrollment for Ms. XXXX in the DOEs loan consolidation program effective XX/XX/XXXX, and then into the DOEs REPAYE program effective XX/XX/XXXX. After XXXX 's services and efforts, Ms. XXXX 's monthly payment obligation was reduced to {$0.00} effective. To stay in the REPAYE program, Ms. XXXX is required to recertify annually her income. Starting in XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX notified Ms. XXXX of the approaching time for her to renew. According to XXXX, it attempted to reach Ms. XXXX 38 times by email and 27 times by telephone about her need to renew. Each and every one of those attempts was ignored. Since Ms. XXXX did not renew her enrollment on time, her student loans went into default. XXXX, however, again tried to help her by obtaining a forbearance for her, which ended in XX/XX/XXXX. Still, Ms. XXXX has ignored all attempts to reach her. Even though it now appears from her complaint that Ms. XXXX does not appear to understand her DOE program and XXXX 's efforts, XXXX is in possession of a recorded conversation with Ms. XXXX in which she acknowledges and verifies her agreement with XXXX and the benefits she received. Mr. XXXX also appears to not understand EACs  role in this matter. EAC did not get involved with Ms. XXXX until she had already agreed to hire and pay XXXX   to assist her. Apparently, Ms. XXXX was unable or unwilling to pay XXXX  all at once. At that point, EACs services were made known to Ms. XXXX. EAC was willing to pay XXXX for her, in exchange for Ms. XXXX then repaying EAC over time, with interest. The choice was once again Ms. XXXX 's to make. She could, if she so chose, submit a request and application to EAC asking EAC to pay XXXX for her. If EAC receives such a request from a student loan debtor like Ms. XXXX, EAC evaluates the application, as well as the agreement between XXXX and the debtor, and XXXX  written assurance that the DOE process has been successfully completed and whatever benefit was available to the debtor has been obtained. EAC also obtains verbal verification from the debtor acknowledging the existence of the debtors request for a separate agreement with EAC. EAC then decides whether to accept or reject the application. If EAC accepts the request, EAC then enters into a separate agreement with the debtor pursuant to which EAC agrees to pay XXXX  for the debtor, and in exchange, the debtor agrees to repay EAC over time with interest. In this instance, Ms. XXXX did in fact submit to EAC an application for EAC to pay XXXX  for her. After reviewing Ms. XXXX 's request, her agreement with XXXX and verifying the situation with Ms. XXXX directly, EAC agreed to pay XXXX for Ms. XXXX and did in fact do so. An audio recording of Ms. XXXX acknowledging and verifying that EAC would be paying XXXX for her exists as well. In that recording, among other things, Ms. XXXX acknowledges that her payments to EAC are to repay EAC, and are not payments towards her student loan debt. EAC thus disagrees vehemently with Ms. XXXX 's complaint and demand. However, EAC only gets involved in transactions like this on a full recourse basis with XXXX. That allows EAC to unwind any transaction and charge the account back to XXXX. Given Ms. XXXX 's complaint here, EAC has exercised its rights with XXXX and unwound the transaction. Ms. XXXX therefore no longer owes EAC anything. Should she have any additional concerns or demands, she should address them to XXXX.
