Consumer complaint received 01/16/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Georgia Student Finance Authority (GA).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint: I have had Federal Student loan since 2007, that 's when I have began my XXXX XXXX College and where I had hoped that after completing my course I will start my professional career but it all ended up to nothing counselor at the school did not help me at all while being in the school or after completing did not guide me to get job and to start my career. they lied to me. it was really frustrating and it 's all hurting up until now. at first in 2007, at that time my loan was approved by the company called Georgia Student Finance XXXX I was not able to afford the expenses and at that time I really need the job with high pay. seeing that people at the college showed us big dreams but at the end we got nothing but just to pay off the loan we got just to learn nothing. after not finding the job in field I have worked hard in checkers and began making my monthly payments because I really did not want it ruined my credit. my account has been transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX, I have tried and explained to them that currently I am not working and explained them all in details how the school have cheated me but they are saying they can not help. and MOST important when I log into my American educational Service account online I see everything including the date my loan granted but I do not see my payment history from the beginning to up until now, i made a lot of payments toward my loan and on the payments checks I have wrote a note to apply all towards my principal balance but now even after i have made those payments I do not see the principal balance has been gone down in fact they just keep like to add interest on top it. i have requested XXXX and XXXX several times why the payments I have made toward my principal loan while my account was with XXXX why does not reflect on my account or when i ask them I need see it. XXXX just say they will send the request to my previous loan carrier XXXX and they will mail you, i never had received the total payment history as of yet and i requested them several times. but my question is if it is same account that has been transferred to XXXX and they are showing every single things but missing my payments history why this has not been transferred to them and should reflect to my account currently. I need know where the payments went to? as for my knowledge I paid like almost near {$3500.00} toward my principal balance but I do not see that amount reflecting my account. where did it go? it should have applied to Principal balance. but if not where is it on my account? i see all interest that has been added from past 2007 but where are total numbers of those payments I made toward the principal? If they will not forgive my loan? I need them to get the total of the payments I made from beginning from 2007 up until now and deduct that from my Principal loan. 
Consumer 's Desired Resolution : I need complete details of total payments I made toward my loan From GEORGIA STUDENTS FINANCE XXXX, for their fault I need them to forgive or at least deduct the total numbers of payments I made toward the principal balance in amount of nearly {$3500.00}. and reflect all that my account does no matter if it has been transferred to another company.
