Consumer complaint received 2021-11-02
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: IL
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Complaint:
I filed XXXX XXXX bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX and at the time had private student loans serviced by AES that I was paying roughly $ XXXX. The payments on these loans were suspended during my bankruptcy and I knew they'd be returned to me after I was released. I paid off my bankruptcy early in XX/XX/XXXX and I expected payments of roughly the same amount to resume in XXXX or XXXX. When I got the letter from AES the payment was {$710.00}. I started contacting them immediately telling them that payment was a financial hardship and I wouldn't be able to make it. They insisted I had no options because I had been in a graduated repayment plan with a 20 year term that would expire 50 months. They had recapitalized the principal and interest over 50 months rather than giving me the XXXX years I should've had left. I contacted them several times between XXXX and XXXX just asking them to give me a longer term for a manageable payment. Finally in XXXX I spoke with an escalation team member who confirmed that my original balance was $ XXXX and I had made nearly $ XXXX in payments already before my bankruptcy. The balance is currently {$31000.00}. So i should've paid a total of {$49000.00} if I made all payments as agreed, but with them capitalizing the interest during my bankruptcy I'm now set to pay {$63000.00} ( approx. ) over the life of loan charging me and add'l $ XXXX in interest. Not working with me for any type of agreement is an extreme financial hardship and the credit impact of not paying on time puts my job in jeopardy. The escalation team member requested I ask the lender for exception or work out and I did that on XX/XX/XXXX and got rejected yesterday. The servicer now says I must go delinquent for them to work with me which will adversely impact my credit further keeping me in an untenable debt situation. The agents at the servicer have also told me multiple times that it was " my fault '' for getting private loans and also that because they are private loans that they don't have to do anything because they can't be XXXX. This feels abusive and predatory. I attempted to refinance with a co-signer but given the fact that I'm recently out of bankruptcy no one will lend to me.

Complaint:
LexisNexis has my risk file mixed with multiple other individuals, and reporting fraudulent information about me to creditors. I have notified LexisNexis of this mixed file and fraud in a very detailed letter that I have both emailed them and sent certified mail with return receipt. 

-They have multiple fraudulent social security numbers on my credit file -Multiple Fraudulent addresses on my risk file that I have never resided -They have multiple evictions listed on my risk file that I have never lived -They have a bankruptcy listed on my risk file that is fraudulent and I never filed To this point LexisNexis has refused to acknowledge they have my risk file mixed and that they are reporting false information to 3rd parties about me that is not mine. LexisNexis is intentionally and willfully inflicting emotional distress on me, and defaming my character by continuing to report information that have been told was false/fraudulent and provided a police report outlining the identity theft that I have endured for many years. I became aware that LexisNexis was reporting fraudulent information about me when I obtained the attached denial letter form XXXX XXXX. 


I am attaching all of the same documents to this complaint that I sent to LexisNexis that they have refused to use to correct my risk file.

Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I borrowed {$9000.00} from CareCredit to pay for XXXX fees. I was told that I have 18 months. However, when I start receiving my bills, it showed that I had less. I went online to pay my bill and it showed my balance of over {$6000.00} with deferred interest added before the end of the promotional on XX/XX/XXXX of {$3400.00}. I have until XXXX to make such payments. If I am late, there is no grace period before I am charged {$38.00} for late fees. In addition, once payments are made, the account is not updated right away. Therefore, it is hard to determine if the payments are made until one checks one account. While this maybe a good thing for customers who do not have money at the time that one needs to get the XXXX work or XXXX done, it is a moose around the customers neck and the customer service representative are not very nice people.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX charged me for services provided by laboratories that were not in the network for my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX coverage without my knowledge or approval.

It appears that they have done this several times and have not attempted to resolve the issue when I contacted them to discuss the matter. These are unauthorized charges as they are associated with annual physicals that are fully covered under my insurance plan. This appears to be a repeating pattern for this medical group and should be investigated by the Georgia licensing board as an unfair practice. If this negative impact matter is not promptly removed from my credit report, I will file formal complaints with the governing medical licensing group and with my insurer in an attempt to have the practice removed from in-network status with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.
