Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: EdFinancial Services (NJ)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted XXXX after receiving the news of Bidens Loan Forgiveness. I saw on the Federal Student Aid website that we were able to request a refund on payments made throughout the payment pause that started in 2020. I went ahead and asked them to do that but was immediately taken aback when they notified me that the processing times would be a minimum of 150 days. I was a pell grant recipient and am therefore eligible for XXXX in forgiveness. Throughout the pandemic I made payments totaling {$4000.00}. 

It seems as though edfinancial is the ONLY student loan provider who is quoting these ridiculous wait times. XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX are only quoting 3-8 weeks turnaround time and those that I know with those loan providers are already seeing their loans reflected on their account. Whats worrying to me is that the application for forgiveness starts in XXXX and edfinancial wont be processing any of these in time for us to receive forgiveness. They stated that our loan balances wont be reinstated until the refund is processed which wont be until XXXX at the earliest for them. The interest rates and payments will resume again in XXXX. 

They told me on the phone that they can not send out confirmation emails or anything to prove that they indeed did send in our request. I realize with the influx of calls that getting our money back could take a while but its very concerning to me that theyre saying this entire process can take 6 months to a year when every single other student loan provider has a way quicker turnaround despite having thousands of requests as well. Currently, getting that money back would be life-changing for me as well as many others. So seeing other peoples loan providers reinstating their balance after requesting it just 36-72 hours later makes me very concerned that this company does not have our best interests at heart.

XXXX University is a ripoff I would like to discuss a situation dated XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX in regards to a term I wanted to do a setback on not withdrawl just a holding period in which not to withdrawl funds of any kind from fasfa, it turned against me unfairly by my student advisor, I repeatedly asked this person to not withdrawl me from the term I just needed an emergency family leave for a couple of months to be placed on a hold. Next I received a bill in the amount of approx {$130.00} of a balance owed for XXXX session within that that term to which I have not taken. Plus they pulled with non authorization from my student loan account. I tried contacting over and over spoke with this person one time. Nothing has been resolved they are a private instituion in which want to bank all profits no matter what the cause. They state clearly they would do whatever it takes for students to succeed and give back where needed to continue your career goals. Well I amongst others find this to be very misleading upon other allogations. So after emails and a written letter sent to the main office in XXXX, IL to the student dean I have heard nothing, all I got was repeated bills sent now owing {$800.00} with no explanation as to why? I refuse to pay a high price for misguidance and misleading information and fraud on obtaining funds from Fasfa. I am almost upon graduating and from what I have recieved from the FTC already was a refund check of a small amount in a settlement some others students had file all being seniors and close to graduation the same things happened that are going on with my status. I even tried to resolve coming back to finish guess what nobody wants to assist my status.
