Complaint:
This is a bill for XXXX  services that were performed on my spouse approximately 4-5 years ago. At that point I was in a XXXX program and we were both insured. She went to a doctor for routine preventive visit and routine XXXX  were ordered. Subsequently XXXX sent us a bill for the XXXX   for {$1200.00}. They had our insurance information and failed to bill the insurance after repeated request. I dont even have the bill anymore. When i tried to call XXXX they are asking for a bill invoice number which I dont have anymore. They sent the bill to collections and now the collection agency RMCB is repeatedly sending out a collection notice for the past 2 years. I know for a fact that my insurance would have paid that bill. I am also now unable to search for the specific insurance details for that year. I have no idea what to do or who to call and dispute this.

However, this particular credit card was closed by Chase in XXXX and a new card was issued. This new card was transferred to XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX refunded the money to the Chase card ( which had been closed ). Even though the Chase card was closed, Chase accepted the refund. XXXX XXXX XXXX advised us that the money was taken out of their account. 

We have contacted Chase numerous times over the past month, and have gotten the run around. We have been transfered from one person to snother, sometimes being on the phone for over an hour.

Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
I XXXX XXXX along with my wife XXXX XXXX are in a position to file for a Chapter XXXX bankruptcy. However, as a means of pursuing a reasonable procedure to get out of debt over the next year without such a drastic step, we are requesting very low settlements in the 20 % range of where our debts were at the last payment. Accordingly, we believe that we only have one chance at this, and if we do not start receiving settlement offers soon, we will retain the bankruptcy attorney we recently consulted. Therefore, we request letters of settlement, and we request the cease and desist from all calls to our home, cell and/or work. We desire to resolve these matters in written form only. 

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: TN
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I called MyFedLoan Servicing to request a refund on my payments made during the covid pandemic, specifically three different payments. They told me that since my loans are no longer with the company, I must contact my new servicer XXXX. 
I contacted XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, and I submitted a refund request for loan payments during the pandemic. About a week later on XX/XX/XXXX, I called back to get an update and to pinpoint which loans I would like to have refunded. I made multiple payments during the pandemic, so I only wanted 3 loan payments ( which were made to 3 different loans, and therefore I paid off those loans fully at the time, closing the loan ). I specified the payments with the person I talked to. XXXX made on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX made on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX made on XX/XX/XXXX. 
I called back about two weeks later to see if I can get an update on my loan refund. I had about an hour long conversation with a gentlemen and he seemed to be knowing what he was doing and said he understands and will update the paperwork. About two weeks later I received a call and they were confused about my request since XXXX only has 2 of my loans, totaling XXXX, out of the XXXX loans that I had received during my XXXX. I explained the situation and stated that I made payments to loans XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ( XXXX made on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX made on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX made on XX/XX/XXXX ) paying them off fully prior to my loans being transferred to XXXX. 

The person then explains to me that XXXX only received XXXX out of the XXXX loans, since the other XXXX loans were paid off and closed - MyFedLoan did not send the loan information over for the remaining XXXX since they were paid off. They then told me I had to contact MyFedLoan again and request the specific payments I made to be refunded and have those loans reinstated - and then probably transferred back to another servicer after they were. I called MyFedLoan and explained what happened, they didn't really care they gave false information. I called back again and talked to someone who was a little more understanding and then submitted my request for reimbursement of my three payments that I requested. But, they told me the request would take 2-8 weeks for request to be processed, and then another 8-12 weeks for the treasury to refund my actual amount.

So I wasted the last 6 weeks because I received false information multiple times from both services.
