Consumer Narrative

I have federal student loans owned by the US Dept of Education and managed by XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, Congress passed the CARES act providing for a temporary forbearance on federally-owned student loans ( the " pandemic pause '' ). As of today, no payments are owed until XX/XX/XXXX -- the date payments resume. Although no payments had been owing and due under the CARES Act, I had made some payments on my student loans during the pandemic pause. The CARES Act allowed borrowers to request refunds of any student loan payments during the pandemic pause Pursuant to the CARES act, I requested such refund. Particularly, since President Joe Biden had issued an Executive Order forgiving up to {$10000.00} of federally-owned student loan debt. In or around XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX marked me as having been late on 63 payments. However, no payments had been due given the CARES act. My credit score dropped over XXXX points due to falsely reporting of delinquency. Upon discovery, in XX/XX/XXXX, I immediately contacted XXXX and disputed the false reporting of delinquency given the CARES act. XXXX responded that they are marking all such accounts as delinquent as they " wait to see if this thing survives the courts ''. XXXX misunderstands the difference between the CARES Act ( which postponed payments due to the pandemic ) and Joe Biden 's student loan forgiveness program ( which purports to forgive student loan debt ). Even if Joe Biden 's student loan forgiveness were to somehow be struck by the Courts, the CARES Act is an act of Congress that postponed student loan payments. As such, I could not be delinquent on 63 payments that had not been owing and due until XX/XX/XXXX. In addition, XXXX 's conduct is contrary to other federal student loan services. My wife 's federal student loans are managed by XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX did not mark her accounts as delinquent ( presumably because XXXX XXXX understood and complied with the CARES act ). I contacted XXXX and requested that the false reporting of delinquency be immediately corrected. XXXX refused. XXXX stated, to the effect, they did not care as they had been ending their contract with the Department of Education as of XX/XX/XXXX. Setting aside that no payments were owed, I received no documents from XXXX addressing the alleged delinquency. If I had actually missed payments, I would have expected to recieve a letter regarding the missed payments. I suspect XXXX issued no written correspondence because they know no payments were owing and due, consistent with the CARES Act over the past two years.
