I received a text from the *** ********* ****** stating that they had been trying to reach me regarding my student loan forgiveness. Mind you this is all happening around the time that loans were being forgiven so I didn’t think anything of it. I called and spoke to the gal on the phone she told me that if I paid at first it started off being I believe 300 hundred a month for 4 months and then it would reduce to 100 a month for 2 years that my loan would be forgiven because I qualified for the loan forgiveness. I questioned her and said well, if I qualified then why do I have to pay anything? She said “ that I had to pay for 2 years and then it would all be forgiven and I would owe nothing.” Now, I am single I work 2 jobs plus I donate plasma just to barely make ends meet so you can imagine this sounded good to me. I told her that I can’t afford to pay what she wanted me to pay so she lowered it and I paid 155 for 4 months and the the next 18 months it would be 19 dollars a month, the 155 was still kind of high but I just kept thinking well her through the next 4 months and you got this. I paid the 4 months of 155 then I get an email in August from the Department of Education telling me my loan will be coming due in October and to watch out for people trying to scam. After getting that email I started to google the numbers and sure enough there have been others that have experienced the same thing as me. Being scammed by this same company. I googled the address and that comes up as a UPS store I called them they do not have any businesses in that complex by New Education Relief. I talked to my student loan carrier they have never heard of them and basically told me that any money that I gave them went straight into their pocket and would not go towards my student loans. My student loans will not be forgiven after 2 years at lease not that way by them. So I filed fraud with my bank against them and will see what happens. I am trying to get this out to every possible customer complaint department that I can, trying to save others from this happening to.
