A woman called me a few days after I filled out the form on the department of education website to consolidate my loans and inquire about student loan forgiveness. When I asked who this was she stated she was from the department of education which is why I continued with the call. She took my information and transferred me to her “supervisor” who would further assist me with the loan forgiveness program ******** * ** * ********. This woman, Sarah Williams set up a payment play over 10 years. The first 4 payments would be $450 and the remaining payments would be $98 a month for 10 years. I said I could not afford the $450 so she said I could pay $250 a month for a few months longer . I paid two months until I got mail from the department of education stating I had payments coming up. When I called them, they informed me that I must be getting scammed because they still had my loans in their possession and they had not been transferred anywhere.
