Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I have attempted multiple times to receive information on income driven repayment plans and the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program and it takes months for responses. I am passed around from person to person and continue to receive conflicting information. Information posted on the FedLoan, XXXX, and Department of Education websites also provides conflicting information. I was also falsely kept in deferment after attempting to apply for an income driven repayment plan which potentially decreased my time in qualifying repayment. I was told I couldnt even apply until 4 years after my graduation. I have worked for over 10 years in public service for a qualifying employer as a school counselor and made my payments which should result in forgiveness. However each time I apply or ask what I need to do, I am given new unpublished reasons for why I dont qualify. The PSLF program is a sham that keeps individuals who have worked years in public service and have based major life decisions on from receiving the forgiveness they have earned.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Around XXXX XXXX  XXXX I called Synchrony Bank because I received a notice that I updated my personal information. There was fraud on my account and I had updated my personal information a month or so earlier. I was unable to answer the questions the customer service asked and they would not confirm my information, concerned about the previous fraud I asked them to cancel my credit card with them which they did. I never received any further communication from them. Around XX/XX/XXXX I received a notice that I had around {$3000.00} sent to collections from my canceled credit card. I was not aware I had any balance on the card, nor have I received any mailing, email or phone call concerning any debt. I called Synchrony Bank and they could not tell me what the charges were as the account was closed. I asked if they had billed me for the charges and they said they do not send out bills once an account was closed. I asked how would I pay my final amount if you don't bill and the customer service could not answer. I asked them to send me a bill with detailed charges, and they said they could not because it was in collections. I then called the collections agency, who put in a request to Synchrony Bank to send me the charges. It has been 45 days, the collection agency is calling saying Synchrony has sent me the detailed charges. I have not received any notification and have no way to re-request the charges.
