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

Complaint narrative:
Hello, On Thursday XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Edfinancial via phone after receiving the news of Biden 's Loan Forgiveness. I saw on the Federal Student Aid website that we were able to request a refund on payments totaling close to XXXX that I made through the payment pause that started in XXXX. I went ahead and asked them to do that but was surprised to find out that the quoted processing time by EdFinancial was a minimum of 150 days. 

It seems as though Edfinancial is the only student loan provider who is quoting these ridiculous wait times for their customers. Others student loan management firms are quoting and issuing refunds in the span of 3-8 weeks and anytime I tried to communicate with EdFinancial to get them to elaborate on their process their responses has been ambiguous and vague telling me to reach out to request status updates on my refund. The problem is that I've since reached out to them twice over email and have not gotten a response or a confirmation on my refund status. When I check my account balance, it still reflects the old amount so I am concerned they have not actually requested my refund. 

My biggest concern is that the 6 month timeline would mean that I am unable to begin the refund request until the new year, at a time when the money I paid in my student loans would be extremely useful to navigate some recent hardship.
