Company: AES/PHEAA
State: MN
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Getting a loan
Sub-issue: Fraudulent loan

Complaint:
I attended XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) from XXXX to XXXX. Upon graduation, the only jobs I could get were minimum wage jobs and my student loans payments were more than I could afford to pay. I refinances my loans with a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX which did not satisfactorily explain that refinancing would make my loans fully private, limiting my eligibility for federal student loan protections. XXXX XXXX XXXX has since gone out of business and the note was transferred to American Education Services which had managed my direct FFELP loans which remained federal loans. They list the loan as being owned by XXXX XXXX  XXXX and the school is incorrectly listed as the XXXX XXXX XXXX and not XXXX. 

This year, XXXX was listed as one of the schools implicated in the Sweet v. Cardona lawsuit which stated that implicated schools engaged in misleading recruitment practices, and fraudulent misconduct. Students who attended XXXX and did not refinance their loans will receive debt forgiveness. Because I made my loans private, I will have to pay back {$68000.00} ( principle ) on a loan with an original balance of {$52000.00}. The difference owes entirely to compounding interest with a current rate of 9.2 % Because this loan is now private, I will not receive loan forgiveness under the Sweet v/ Cardona lawsuit. It is my contention that if the original loan was based on fraudulent and misleading recruitment tactics, any transfer of the loan to a private entity is also invalid and the loan should also be forgiven. 

I am going to be XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. My student loan balance is four times greater than my 401 ( k ) savings. If I am unable to receive forgiveness of this loan, I will likely face garnishment of my Social Security. So this outstanding loan has the potential to impose a significant negative impact on retirement. 

Furthermore, I was diagnosed with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX of this year. Therefore, I will only find it increasingly difficult to make payments on this loan given the medical bills I will incur over the remainder of my lifespan. 

I can seek to have this loan discharged in bankruptcy if I am able to prove undue hardship. However, the implications of bankruptcy on my financial well-being would be significant and would last for up to 10 years. It hardly seems fair that I should be further punished by bankruptcy to unburden myself of a loan that was fraudulent, to begin with. 

I have always remained current with this loan and never entered into default. I made payments when possible and received deferment or forbearance when needed due to economic hardhsip or being in graduate school. 

XXXX loans are intended to lift people up. Attending XXXX XXXX XXXX was the bigget mistake of my life. Refinancing the loans with Loan-to-Learn/XXXX  was the 2nd biggest.

Complaint:
A mysterious charge appeared on my checking account held by Capital One. The charge was posted XX/XX/2022 for {$1800.00}. The charge read : XXXX XXXX XXXX and included the phone number XXXX. When I called the number a recorded statement indicated I had reached XXXX XXXX, an online payment processor utilized by a variety of companies. The recording suggested I call the leasing company or property management company. There was no specific information either on the recorded message or on my online checking account statement suggesting where XXXX XXXX is located. The statement suggested it was for a " Debit Card Purchase '' by " Your Joint Card Holder. '' The joint card holder on my checking account is my wife. We have no affiliation with XXXX XXXX. I called Capital One, reported the fraud and ordered a new Debit Card. Capital One says a new one is on the way. I attempted to call a XXXX XXXX in XXXX, FL but there was no option on its phone menu to discuss payments or charges. On XX/XX/2022 the funds were returned to my Capital One checking account without explanation. When I reported the fraudulent charges to Capital One I was told the funds would be returned to my account within 10 days if they were unable to resolve my complaint. The funds are back, but is the reimbursement permanent?
