  After applying for President ******* student loan forgiveness plan I received a phone call from the "processing center" they need to finalize my application for the loan forgiveness and to call them back with my reference number they included in the voicemail. I called them back and was redirected to a representative saying the loan forgiveness has been shut down and now we will continue with income driven repayment: I was asked to "confirm" my information and he said I would be texted a code to confirm my phone number and when I provided him with the code he had access to my FSA login so he was able to tell me my address, social, loan amounts etc. After realizing this was a scam I changed my username and password, however they had me sign a contract saying after I applied for income driven repayment and after 20 years my debt would be forgiven, I would pay $200 a month for 6 months then it would go down to $175.13. I never provided my pay stubs because I started to suspect it was a scam, I cancelled my debit card and notified my bank. I also called the scammers back at ************ and stated I wanted to discontinue services with them, the representative said he will pass my message along and I will be contacted however never received a phone call or email confirming the termination of services. I want to make sure they do not have access to my loan information preventing me from actually applying for government repayment plans and prevent them from performing this con on another person.

  We received the client's request to speak to someone in the cancellation department.  We reached back out to the client client a couple hours later and answered the client's questions.  After we answered the client's questions we ended the enrollment of the client from our service.  The client has already received her desired outcome.

  After apply for a ************** Loan Forgiveness, I was contacted by this company who claimed to help process these loan forgiveness types. After walking me through the process, the rep claimed they would process faster and more efficient than the Gov. site. The charged me $1,000 to do so. I paid and was emailed the same PSLF form available on the StudentAid.gov site. I was told to call or email the rep once I gathered all of my required documents. It took me a week to gather the documents. I called the rep and his supervisor. I left messages and emailed. NO ONE EVER got back to me. I paid them $1,000 and completed the process all by myself. I had to get others to help me because APEX never responded. I paid $1,000 for a form thats available online. They claimed to work with the government. It was a total scam.

  We reached out to the client to discuss her concerns.  We gave the client updated contact information to ensure a clear line of communication as well as assisted her with the remaining applications that still needed to be completed.  After completing the remaining documents we spoke to the client again to ensure we addressed all her concerns and answered all her questions.  The client is satisfied and has no additional concerns.

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me.  I will wait for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved.
