Consumer complaint received 2016-04-20 00:00:00
Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't decrease my monthly payments
Company: HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENT ASSISTANCE AUTHORITY (HESAA)
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
In 2007, I made a decision to return to college to complete a degree I started 10 years prior. I was ineligible for student aid because although I was n't working, I am married. I had maxed out the amount of money I could take with XXXX XXXX so I borrowed from NJ class. When I graduated, I was sent a bill almost right away. I called to tell them that I was n't working and asked if I could defer/forbear the loan for a few months. I was told there were no options. With XXXX children to care for my husband and I had nothing to send while I was n't working. I called them back to make arrangements when I was finally able to obtain a job but it was too late and I was sued by their debt collection lawyers. I am now paying almost triple the amount per month than the original payment with the threat that if I do n't pay my wages will be garnished. I have talked several people out of taking loans with NJ class because their practices ; I was n't given any grace after graduation or any other options for repayment. I was n't trying to get out of my obligation, I just needed time to find a job or something that would have help during an economic hardship. NJ class feels they can get away with it because they do n't have to follow the same structure as the federal student loans but they ca n't be discharged on a bankruptcy because they are a student loan company so no matter how it impacts my family there is nothing I can do. I am forced to come up with a high payment that goes up {$50.00} every six months until it 's paid. Shame on NJ Class for giving people the false impression they are there to assist in the goals and dreams of students that just want to get an education but fall short on money.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Dear XXXX, This letter is to address an XXXX XXXX bill that was sent to collections back in 2011. I am disputing this because I never received a bill from XXXX XXXX. And when I tried to communicate with XXXX XXXX, they told me the address they sent the bill. That address they had on file was not my correct address. I told them there was a mistake and this was not my address or the address I gave to them when I signed up for the XXXX credit card. XXXX XXXX told me they already sent the bill to collections and it was out of their hands. That 's when a {$20.00} dollar bill turned into {$270.00}, which really upset me to not want to pay the bill at all. 

Now it 's 6 years later and I am trying to get a home and refinance my student loan. I have my XXXX child on the way and I need to provide for my family. I can not do so because of this negative credit report from XXXX XXXX. I ca n't believe how these pair of flip-flops I purchased from XXXX XXXX has haunted me. I do n't care anymore that a twenty-dollar purchase at XXXX XXXX has turned into a {$270.00} dollar purchase. I already paid the bill that was owed to the collections agency, XXXX XXXX. I asked for a pay for deletion and they said that I would need to talk to XXXX XXXX 's Charge Off Department. I was sent to you and asked to write a letter to this XXXX. I know you get these letters every day, but there has been an honest mistake. I am asking for you to see a person, not another letter. I am asking you to listen and try to understand my situation. I am a person, just like you. Trying to better myself to better my family, just like you. Trying to feed a family and make a life for them, just like you. I am asking for your help to get this error corrected. Specifically, I am asking to get this negative mark from XXXX XXXX off my credit history. I understand you 're busy and it is hard to read letter after letter and care. But please try. This is my life. 

I appreciate your time and understanding. If you have any information that would help my situation, please let me know. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION, THE
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I used Charles Schwab 's Bill Pay to make payments on a XXXX XXXX loan that I had paid current since XXXX. In XXXX XXXX I set up the account to autopay the loan through the loan 's final payment in XXXX. Instead of doing what it was supposed to do, the system overrode the date I put in and set XXXX XXXX as the final payment date. In XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX sent a letter threatening collections, and that was when I first became aware that Bill Pay had failed. I paid the loan payments current, and then had the Schwab rep get on the phone with the XXXX rep. The Schwab guy said that the error was likely a Schwab system error, but refused to send a letter or email to XXXX because of legal liability issues. Apparently this is an issue they are aware of and are trying to limit liability with very little thought as to how it harms customers. Schwab now refuses to admit its error and instead is telling me that I put in the wrong date. They did not review their system or provide any evidence to counter my witness testimony. 

The net result is that my credit has been negatively impacted. I 'm trying to buy a house, and the past due is hurting my credit score and could well cost me thousands of dollars more in interest expense. 

Since XXXX continues to report my " late '' payment from XXXX, I will submit this complaint each month until Schwab resolves it. Please treat it as a brand new complaint, since every time XXXX reports this it affects my credit.
