Consumer Narrative
I am submitting this complaint regarding a 90-day late payment reported by my federal student loan servicer, EdFinancial, for XXXX XXXX. I believed my loans were subject to a post-enrollment deferment beginning after the conclusion of my final semester in XX/XX/XXXXXXXX and lasting six months, which would have placed my first required payment in XX/XX/XXXX. Based on this understanding, I did not expect payments to be due prior to that time. I later learned that the deferment or repayment start date applied to my account differed from what I was informed or understood, resulting in payments becoming due earlier than anticipated. This misunderstanding caused my account to become delinquent without my awareness. I did not intentionally miss payments. As soon as I became aware of the issue, I immediately brought the account back to current standing on XX/XX/XXXX. This is my first and only delinquency of any kind. My credit history otherwise reflects consistent, on-time payments across all accounts. I contacted EdFinancial to request clarification and assistance, including whether retroactive forbearance or administrative relief could be applied for the affected period so the resulting credit reporting could be corrected. I was advised that no such relief was available. I am respectfully requesting a formal compliance review and consideration of administrative or retroactive forbearance for XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX, or other appropriate relief, so that the resulting 90-day late credit reporting may be corrected. I am not disputing responsibility for the loan and have ensured the account is current. I am requesting reasonable consideration due to this first-time misunderstanding and my immediate corrective action.
