Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/XXXX, I requested contact information and an address for the persons/department at University Accounting Services ( UAS ) so they could receive my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment Request ( Payment Request ). An XXXX XXXX XXXX can be used to pay off federal student loans and I have a XXXX Loan with UAS. UAS is not registered with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and UAS needs to fill out a voucher to receive payments from my XXXX award. During this call I asked for an email after the phone call to confirm they are looking into the problem. I received no email confirmation. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called again to find out that this request was never looked into. I restated my initial request above and asked for a call back from a supervisor, as well as an email, confirming they are looking into my problem. I received no call back and no email. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called to follow up. I was able to speak to a Team Lead, who provided me with the standard address, generic email address and the general phone line. She admitted she wasn't sure what department would handle this request. During this call, I also requested my late fee be removed since I have been troubleshooting this payment request since XX/XX/XXXX. The Team Lead stated they would submit a request to remove the late fee with a XXXX. Later on XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX and they suggested I get a direct contact and email address from UAS. This would ensure that my Payment Request could be delivered to the correct address and potentially have the voucher filled out quicker to avoid additional late fees and interest. Later that day I called UAS back, an agent answered and told me they could not provide any phone numbers or email addresses for other departments because UAS keeps that internal. I then requested to speak to the Team Lead and the Agent stated that this request would need to be sent to a supervisor, requests take 10-14 business days, and that I can't submit another request because the Team Lead submitted one for me already. Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have been the only party to initiate correspondence about my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment Request. I feel that there is too much " red tape '' at UAS which is causing my problem to go unanswered and unresolved. UAS has not handled my request in a timely or effective manner, causing more interest and late fees to add up on my account. My next payment is due at the end of the month and I am not confident they are taking steps to help me pay off my loan.
