Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: SLM CORPORATION (NJ)

I attended  XXXX  University in  XXXX   XXXX , NJ from   XXXX   XXXX   to   XXXX   XXXX   as an  XXXX  in the   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  . I did not like my major and college in general was not working out for me. My grades were okay to start off and then proceeded to get terrible by   XXXX   XXXX  . I took a leave of absence which turned into me just dropping out. Each year had costed about {$20000.00} total and so my total in borrowed money from the private student loan company "  Salliemae '' w as about {$29000.00}.  XXXX  loans were used,  XXXX  for {$22000.00} and  XXXX  for {$7000.00}. The interest rates are  11/38 %  8.88 % and they 're fixed rates and can not go down. I just moved out of my parents ' house living in an apartment on my own and I 'm realizing how difficult it is to keep on paying the monthly payments I have been paying for the pas t two  years. Since   XXXX   I 've been paying {$580.00} monthly total in student loans, {$450.00} to Salliemae and {$120.00} to a federal student loan.     Recently I called Salliemae explaining the situation and asking if there was any alternative monthly payment plan and they said simply no. They said that income based repayment plans and things of that nature are for federal student loans only, not private student loans. They went on to explain that the only choice was basically to be late with my monthly payment, get a late fee applied to my account of no greater than {$25.00} and they wait for the collections agency to contact me about collecting the debt. This is what I 'm currently doing but I 'm afraid it will ruin my credit and I 'm afraid that Salliemae might take money directly from my paycheck.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (WI)

I have a reported a fraudulant account on my credit report several times to Experian. I was told I needed a police report in order to prove identity theft and request any removals, which I have done. I requested proof of my signature for validation of debt. The credit bureau did not provide any proof of requested verification, after I have stated it was a fraudulant account. Experian stated it was verified, but with no proof of verification and stated they are not required to provide proof. I have sent police reports and affidavits. The said company could also not provide any proof of my signature verifying debt, stating they didnt have  one  on file, so how did the credit bureau verify debt if this is the case??. I Was told by the company reporting the debt, that the account was open online, therefore they ca n't prove if it is legitmate or not. They also, sold the account/debt, but yet, are currently still reporting it, as charged off, with a balance, past due and revolving? As you know, it is the law, that credit bureaus report accurate and complete information on a consumer report or they must remove it. Given there are several issues with these items being reported and they are fraudulant accounts, I am expecting it will be removed immediatley. Fraudulant Items being reported incorrectly by Experian :  XXXX  Acct #  XXXX    XXXX   XXXX   : Act. #  XXXX

On  XXXX / XXXX / 2017  I went to a  CitiBank  Branch at  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX   XXXX  CA  XXXX . I attempted to deposit cash into my checking account via the ATM. I made the first transaction a deposit of {$600.00}, I then deposited an additional {$180.00} into the same ATM  (  ATM #  XXXX  ). Instead of the ATM depositing the money into my account, the machine gave me a receipt stating " I 'm sorry, Because of technical problems, I ca n't return your cash right now. '' I immediately went inside of the bank and spoke directly to the ban k manager telling her what had happened and asking for her help to get the machine to eject the money back out. The manager sa id that she could do nothing and the machine would be locked until that Friday. The manager had me call a  XXXX  number on the back of my ATM card. with the receipt information. I called that number shortly after and was told that they are opening a case file and that I should call back the next day. The back manager also wrote the missing transaction amount on the receipt of {$180.00}.     I called back the next day and was told that it could take a few more days, each call back since  XXXX / XXXX / 2017  I have been given the same run around. Today when I called in I was told that the investigation would take another 30 days at least and to watch my email for the results. I have called in many times, and never get results. I feel that the companies plan is simply to make me wait until I give up, or I loose me legal options. For me the loss of {$180.00} is a lot, that is a bill or  XXXX  that can not be paid, or food that I can not buy. I really need help getting this resolved quickly.

Company: United Student Aid (USA) Funds (WA)

I guess I 'd better get this in before you 're gone ....   A person with a similar name,  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX  has  XXXX   XXXX  debt that has been in collections for years. About 5 years ago, my address became tied to his name. Not only  XXXX , but the  SSA ass umes I 'm him. Because this debt is so old, ( and never dies ), the paper on it is spread far and wide. As a result, I receive multiple calls each day from various deb t collectors tryin g to get {$250000.00} out me. The  SSA/Treasury Dept.  even sends me regular notices informing me that " my '' check is being garnished ( For all this hassle, it would be nice to get what 's left ). Of course, they must be sending the actual checks to a bank that has his address or to his home.   I of course have made multiple calls to all of the relevant agencies to get this straightened out. The reason I do n't get anywhere  is simple-CATCH-22.  They wo n't help me because I 'm not him, and only he can interact with them on this account. I have insisted on talking to supervisors, begged, etc to no avail. Once a supervisor at Treasury said the most they could do was put me a do not mail list. Not so much.   You might ask why I do n't just tell the debt  collectors that I ' m not that guy. I used to, but the paper is just resold almost immedia tely. Anecdote : on  e interaction  about 3 years ago, I had a supervisor in debt collection office and told him I would n't give him my social because they would just sell the paper right away. He said just a sec, looked up something, and said " I think you 'll get a couple months ''.   Two weeks later I was being hounded again.
Can you help? ( I 'm begging again ) I 'm sending pdfs that have the relevant info on them
