Consumer complaint received 2023-09-19
Company: Maximus Education, LLC dba Aidvantage
State: NY
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
This is in regard to Aidvantage failing to appropriately apply my payments to my unsubsidized student loans. This issue has led to unjust interest accruals, costing me financially and causing undue stress. 
On XX/XX/2023, I made a payment of {$6900.00} to Aidvantage, expressly intending for it to cover all my outstanding unsubsidized student loans. While a portion of this payment was applied correctly, a significant fraction was not, even though my records confirm that Aidvantage received the full payment. As a result of this oversight, my unsubsidized loans have unjustly accrued interest, especially detrimental given the timing right before the restart of student loan interest rates. 
Despite multiple attempts to rectify the situation, my efforts to contact Aidvantage have been thwarted. Their phone system lacks options to speak with a representative or leave a message, and my emails have gone unanswered. Such a pattern of behavior, which obstructs consumers from addressing critical concerns, borders on fraudulent and deserves the scrutiny of a consumer protection body. 
I urgently request the following : The immediate removal of any and all interest that has unjustly accrued on my unsubsidized student loans. 
XXXX XXXX  of my {$6900.00} payment to the intended unsubsidized student loans. 
An investigation into Aidvantage 's practices to prevent further harm to other borrowers. 
I sincerely hope the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take swift action to rectify this situation and hold Aidvantage accountable. No borrower should face such barriers when attempting to responsibly manage their student loan debt. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
