Consumer Narrative
My loan was transferred from XXXX to XXXX back in XXXX. I started to notice that my credit score was going down XXXX points each month to the present. I received a letter from them stating that my loan was set back into repayment and into forbearance. Since I applied for the borrower defense. You can see the capitalization interest they have prepared on the loan. Plus they are now reporting that I'm not making payments on my loan. I never once contacted them to have my loan put into forbearance through the repayment process. You can look through the applications on the borrower defense and I indicated I don't want it in forbearance while it's under review. Overall, my current student loans should be under forbearance, but that is for the Covid relief back in 2020 at zero percent interest. Under the current law, my credit shouldn't be affected at all. XXXX keeps reporting to all the credit bureaus for the non-payment, which is hurting my credit on a monthly basis. I tried calling them and can't get a hold of them through their customer service department. The current hold times are over 2 hours long. Therefore, I can't get anything corrected with them.
