Dealing with your lender or servicer
Student loan: Federal student loan servicing
Received bad information about your loan
Complaint: In XXXX, 2017, I received a notice from a company called Transworld Systems , Inc. stating that my student loan was in default and had been turned over to them for collection. I immediately called my loan provider and verified that I was current and told them about this notice and they said they had no idea why I would be getting this notice. My loan had been sold to XXXX from XXXX XXXX - so I decided to contact XXXX XXXX to be sure they did n't show any delinquent status for my closed account and they confirmed that my account was sold to XXXX and was closed with no negative information on file. I decided to send a letter to Transworld on XXXX XXXX, 2017 explaining all of this and now I have received a response from Transworld stating that this debt is valid and included a copy of all of my personal information with all my student loan transactions since I received the loan. Please help me to resolve this issue as I am getting nowhere!

False statements or representation
Debt collection: Credit card debt
Attempted to collect wrong amount
Complaint: I contacted Transword Systems Inc. To set up a payment plan too pay off a {$5100.00} debt for the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . When I called, they informed me that I actually owed more than what the statement they sent me stated, almost {$1000.00} more. They stated that they have a 18 % interest rate, but on the letter sent to me it stated 19.24 % annual. This amount is way more than the interest date that I had with the XXXX XXXX XXXX . So every month, I am being charged about {$77.00} in interest. We are a military family and move often, currently residing in Oklahoma, so I am not sure if what they are doing is legal. I set up a payment plan, of {$200.00} a month an it has me making payments until 2020. How can I get caught up on the balance with such a high interest rate?
Any advise or assistance that you could provide me will be very much appreciated.
Thank you

Keep getting calls about your loan
Complaint: I was in a Chapter XXXX bankruptcy that was XXXX in XXXX of XXXX. A few months later I started receiving collection letters about student loans. I spent hours on the phone trying to sort it out since I had n't received any other notification from any of them. XXXX XXXX XXXX did not want to give me the information regarding the lender and said I had to work with them. I tried contacting chase to get it squared away and thought I had it set up on deferment. In XXXX I got a letter from XXXX and XXXX XXXX offices stating I was being sent to collections. The man on the phone was very rude and I asked multiple times for the information for the company that had the loan and what exactly it was for. I said that I had already worked with the lender and he said that I had to set up payments. He had me concerned that I would have my wages garnished so I started trying to negotiate with him and when I told him there was no way I could afford those payments he got even more pushy. I told him I was at work and could n't do this at the time. I have since received a couple other calls and a letter from an attorney stating a suit has been filed against me and they would like to represent me. I have yet to receive anything about this suit and ca n't seem to get in touch with anyone that will help me.
The amount on the letter is {$10000.00} and the letter from the law firm is dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX.
Letter came in my former name of XXXX.
I do not find it fair that I did n't get any notification until an attorney is involved.

Debt collection: Medical debt
Debt is not yours
Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from XXXX at Transworld Systems ( XXXX ) indicating she was attempting to collect a debt from me for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I asked her what the debt was she could only tell me it was from a service date of XX/XX/XXXX for {$60.00} and occurred in the state of Arkansas. I explained to her that I lived in Texas and not Arkansas. She could not tell me anything else about the debt. She suggested I call XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX directly ( XXXX ) .I called on the same day and was told the debt was for a nebulizer for a patient named XXXX . I explained I did not have a child named XXXX. The medical claim was under " XXXX XXXX ''. I further explained that I had never lived in Arkansas and this was not a claim related to any medical care my children had received. The plan was to notify Transworld Systems this was a false claim. Today (XX/XX/XXXX ), I received another call from XXXX at Transworld Systems trying to collect on the debt. I explained to her what happened on XX/XX/XXXX but she stated they had not heard from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I felt somewhat threatened by her as she stated this would show up on my credit report if I did not pay the claim. When I said I was not worried about that she said " you should be '' and then she ended the call abruptly. I then called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and spoke with XXXX. She did say that on XX/XX/XXXX they sent an email to Transworld Systems requesting to close out this case. XXXX did tell me that the patient did have XXXX XXXX. I also have the same insurance provider but claim had a different policy number on it. XXXX sent another request today to Transworld Systems asking them to close this case.
When I review my phone records, I can see Transworld Systems began calling me onXX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ). I did not answer that call as I was on vacation and did not recognize the number. They did not leave a message. They called again on XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ) and did not leave a message. They called again on XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ) and did not leave a message. They called onXX/XX/XXXX( XXXX ) and did not leave a message. They called on XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ) and did not leave a message. I do not want to block these calls until I am certain this issue has been resolved.

Student loan: Federal student loan servicing
Problem with customer service
Complaint: I got a notification stating that I was in default of a Perkins Loan and was in the process of re-enrolling in school. I called the servicer to request the amount owed {$700.00}. In turn, I reached out the XXXX XXXX and requested a loan consolidation to satisfy the outstanding default. XXXX XXXX quickly turned around the consolidation and UAS ( XXXX ) received the funds on XXXX. I called on more than one occasion to get the payoff/paid in full letter to forward to XXXX University so that they could release the debt on my account. I was promised on two occasions that they would forward me the appropriate information via email only to not receive it. I called on the XXXX and held on the line while the supervisor drafted the attached letter, which is basically an account summary. This information still has not been forwarded to NLDS or www.Studentaid.ed.gov accounts and still shows as a default.
