Company: National Credit Services, Inc.
State: WA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint:
Hi, my problem is when I was XXXX yrs old I went to get a XXXX at the local XXXX college where I grew up. I was automatically enrolled in a quarter ( I was XXXX, mind you, I had no clue what was happening ) so I figured I 'd give it a shot and it was under a PELL grant. I decided that was not for me, as I was going to be a XXXX, which I am now. So ... here we are, decades later. 

I am told I was enrolled in a different XXXX college, rather some distance from where I lived. I did not. I am told there is a consolidated loan on this. I did not do this, either. I have tried explaining this until my face is blue and get nowhere. 

At this time, I do n't even know what this other college is! 

So, I was contacted by NCS and it seemed I could finally get a resolution. I filled out so much paperwork it seemed to me, maybe someone would actually look into this and fix it. Not so much. They took all my info and proceeded to garnish my wages. I can not have this much taken from me, especially since I do n't owe it. 

I called NCS and was told I was put under a financial hardship and they would not take more than XXXX $ per monthly check. Surprise! It was 15 % of my ENTIRE check, garnished. I 'll end up with no power and no apartment within months if they do this. 

My plan was to go ahead and let them take a garnishment ( small, not fun, but managable ) while I contacted a lawyer to see what I could do about this, as all I get is a runaround and they really do not care to even listen to what is going on, or care if I lose everything so they can just do whatever they want. 

I was suppose to get a phone interview, did not happen. 

They say they wo n't take more than XXXX $ but took twice that amount. 

I was XXXX and did n't know what I was doing ( parents were not involved, just me. ) I have tried, many years, to just talk to, and find out what this is even about. No info is given, they just take my money for some school I never went to. 

I never, at any point in my life, spoke with anyone about, or, consolidated any loans. 

I need help, and did contact a lawyer, who directed me here. Mostly because I have no info on what this even is, as nobody will tell me. All they care about is robbing me. And this is robbery. 

They ca n't even get my name right on this. 

I am a professional, and this is BAD for my reputation.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: AK
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint:
The system to determine income based repayment eligibility at FedLoan Servicing is not compliant with the law, and the company is aware that their system is non compliant. Their system 's default behavior is to ignore spouse debt load while reporting to the customer otherwise. The result is that borrowers are required to pay more than they are required by law. They are willfully using a system that does not comply with the law and then lying about it to customers. 

I was enrolled in the Income Based Repayment program ( IBR ) using FedLoan Servicing. During my annual renewal in early XX/XX/2016, I was erroneously and repeatedly told that I no longer qualified. Using the online calculator that FedLoan linked, it was clear that FedLoan did not use my spouse 's federal student loan debt load to calculate my eligibility. I contacted them on XX/XX/2016, XX/XX/2016, and XX/XX/2016 to notify them of their error. Referencing the mathematical formula to determine eligibility, I included the line-by-line algebra to clearly demonstrate that I was eligible. On XX/XX/2016, I was reinstated with no explanation of their error. I have archived all of my written communication with them. 

I am seeking an explanation for the initial error, an explanation for the company 's refusal to admit the error, and transparency and assurance that the error will not happen again. I am seeking a direct contact to handle my annual recertification in the future.
