Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA (TN)

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, CFPB : I am a Federal Student Loan borrower with FedLoan Servicing and a participant in the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ). XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

After receiving notification regarding the extension of the XXXX XXXX XXXX, I completed an original consolidation online for all of my XXXX and Direct Consolidation Loans, in accordance with the waiver instructions in XXXX. I immediately became concerned because an automated letter from FedLoans indicated all my loan counts would restart at a zero payment count. So on XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke to XXXX at FedLoan servicing who told me NOT to consolidate all the loans, and she actually removed the Direct Loans from my consolidation. ( Please see attachments- 1 is my original, and 2 is the incorrect one that was processed. ) Because everything else was filed correctly, my account was reviewed, and I was forgiven only the XXXX loans which had the qualifying XXXX payments. This payment count should have forgiven all my loans based on the new XXXX waiver ; however, because of the FedLoan representatives change, they were not. 

I have a timeline of events, the names of XXXX FedLoan representatives who provided the same misinformation when I attempted to fix the first representatives error, and screenshots of an online chat that also gave the same misinformation. Each conversation confirmed that all XXXX loans should not have been consolidated, which apparently is completely inaccurate. 

I properly followed procedures but was horribly misled. I am now stuck with {$63000.00} that should have been forgiven on XX/XX/XXXX according to the XXXX waiver extension. How do I proceed in having the consolidation corrected?
