Consumer Narrative
I had applied for the new SAVE income driven repayment plan on XX/XX/2023 through XXXX and received confirmation that my application had been received by EDfinancial. On XX/XX/XXXX I called EDfinancial requesting the status of my application. I was told they were processing the applications at a XXXX business day delay and try again later. On XX/XX/XXXX I called Edfinancial and was advised that they did not have my application and I should resubmit, which I did resubmit manually through their inbox and received a pop up to allow 10 days to review. On XX/XX/XXXX after not receiving any correspondence with EDfinancial regarding my IDR submission, I submitted a complaint with XXXX to try to resolve my issue with my servicer. On XX/XX/XXXX I called EDfinancial and was advised that they did have my SAVE application and allow XXXX weeks to process my application. On XXXX I called EDfinancial and was advised that I would owe a {$5.00} fee to pay for the transfer of my income driven repayment plan to SAVE which I did pay that day. I was advised that the application was being expedited and would be processed by Friday, XXXX. My application has still not been processed and the {$5.00} fee that I paid was applied to my original monthly loan payment. On XXXX I called EDfinancial and the representative was unable to help me but escalated my dispute with a supervisor whom I have not heard back from. I was advised by this representative to not make my regular monthly loan payment at this time as the monthly amount was reduced by the {$5.00} fee that was applied incorrectly to my account. I was advised that I should hear back from a supervisor with EDfinancial within XXXX business hours but this did not happen and my account has not been updated to the new repayment plan. In addition, I am in limbo and not sure how to make my monthly loan payment as I was advised not to do so until this is resolved. At this point it has now been 106 days since I originally submitted my SAVE application to my provider which is an unreasonable amount of time to wait.
