Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Aidvantage sent me an email about my payments coming up. On XX/XX/23, I attempted to reach out to them about information and they did not answer after waiting forever over XXXX minutes. I called again and same situation. I wanted to understand what I needed to do. I did my IDR certification for my new income and was not given any information on that date. Yesterday, on XX/XX/23, on a XXXX, I get an email that a payment of {$450.00} is expected in 5 days when my previous payment was {$0.00}. I want to pay back my student loans but I am unable to handle a brand new {$450.00} payment that I have had no notice about. I have been unable to contact Aidvantage, they have not sent me any paperwork. The company has no customer service and their email us option does not actually even email them. They are directly misleading people and are unwilling to perform the work they are supposed to in servicing these federal student loans. A bank is not allowed to change your payment and then demand money within 5 days. The CFPB regulations themselves require at least 21 days. Why is this awful for-profit company that is servicing federal student loans not bound by the same laws that every other financial company is? And more importantly, why are they not willing to speak with me about any of it? I feel like they want me to default.

Complaint narrative:
I AM VICITM OF AN IDENTITY THEFT, PLEASE ACCEPT MY TRUE STATEMENT. FOR YEARS NOW I HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE CREDIT BUREAUS AND THE ACTUAL INDIVIDUAL CREDITS, BUT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE NOT NOT HEARING MY COMPLAINT. WHEN A THIEF STEELS YOUR INFORMATION ITS ONLY OBVIOUS THAT THEY HAVE ALL CORRECT INFORMATION THEREFORE THEY ARE ABLE TO OPEN FRAUDULENT ACCOUNTS USING THE VICTIMS INFORMATION. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM VICTIM OF AN IDENTITY THEFT, AND SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW WHO STOLE MY INFORMATION BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT MY INFORMATION WAS STOLEN AND THE ACCOUNTS WERE OPENED. I THINK AT THIS POINT THE CREDIT COMPANIES WERE NOT CAREFUL ENOUGH TO SEE WHO WAS REALLY APPLYING FOR THE CREDIT. HOW IS THIS MY FAULT.
