Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: EdFinancial Services (NJ)

I am a XX/XX/XXXX XXXX so my interest on my loan started accruing in XX/XX/XXXX. I created my edfinancial account on XX/XX/XXXX in attempts to pay off some of my loan. At this point I already had {$35.00} of interest accrued. I attempted to pay {$2000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. The status was pending and then stated it was received. I looked in my bank account and nothing was removed. I then checked back into my edfinancial account and the payment was reversed back into my account. I then tried to do the same thing and pay {$2000.00} on XXXX and the same process occurred again. I tried to call Monday XX/XX/XXXX in attempts to speak to someone about this and they said the wait time was over 2 hours. Reluctantly I tried to pay off the entirety of my one loan which is an unsubsidized direct loan ( {$2000.00} ) on XXXX and this was also reversed back into my account. I am getting very frustrated as theres already an increase of {$12.00} in interest from the first time I tried to pay my loan to now. It seems really convenient that the company keeps reversing my payments so that my loan can keep accruing more interest. This seems very illegal to me and Id like to have no further issues with paying my student loans off.

According to experian this account was charged off with inaccurate dates reporting. Since then the date, High Balance, Last Verified, Date of Last Activity, Date Opened, Last Payment, and Credit Limit has been inconsistently updated. On Equifax the date last active is ( XX/XX/year> ), on XXXX it's ( XX/XX/year> ), on XXXX the date last active is ( XX/XX/year> ). If the information is coming from the original creditor the dates should be the same. We can not say these account are 100 % accurate so it is deemed INACCURATE.
