Consumer Narrative
PROBLEM # 1 WHEN DISCOVER TOOK OVER SERVICING MY STUDENT LOAN FROM XXXX THEY ADDED OVER {$7000.00} TO THE BALANCE, I DEMANDED AN EXPLANATION IN WRITING AND THEY REFUSED. AFTER DOZENS OF PHONE CALLS ALL I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS AN ERROR FROM INTEREST WHILE I WAS IN SCHOOL. I REQUESTED SUBSTANTIATION AND THEY REFUSED. I BELIEVE THIS CHARGE TO BE ERRONEOUS AS DISCOVER TOOK OVER MY LOAN 4+ YEARS AFTER I GRADUATED.

PROBLEM # 3 CREIDT REPORT SHOWS THAT THEY HAVE REPORTED MY ACCOUNT AS CLOSED, WHICH IT CLEARLY IS NOT PROBLEM # 4 THEY REPORTED TO THE CREDIT REPORTS THAT THE ENTIRE BALANCE WAS CHARGED OFF, WHICH IT WAS NOT SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN AUTO-DEBITING A MONTLY PAYMENT FOR 4+ YEARS. BANK RECORDS CAN BE PROVIDED SHOWING THE AUTO-DEBIT, UPON REQUEST. THE LETTER ABOUT THE $ XXXX ADDED IN XXXX WAS LOST WHEN WE WERE THE VICTIM OF A XXXX IN XXXX.
