    Pattern of Complaint:

    BBB files indicate that this business has a pattern of complaints concerning customers signing up for student loan consolidation services with third parties, complainants state they are confused as to how they wind up dealing with Equitable Acceptance Corporation. Equitable Acceptance Corporation purchases contracts from these third party companies and attempts to collect on payments due for services rendered. BBB brought this pattern of complaints to the attention of Equitable Acceptance Corporation. The company acknowledged issues in communicating with students and stated they are trying to fine-tune the transition process from when the loan consolidation services are utilized to when Equitable Acceptance takes over the contract. BBB also expressed concern about some of the third party loan consolidation services the company is working with, as some have F ratings with BBBs out of state. Equitable Acceptance Corporation pledged to work with companies they deal with to urge them to address any outstanding issues with BBB. However, the volume of complaints filed against the business has not decreased. The business was notified of this pattern January 2017, and has not provided a response regarding the pattern of complaints.

      In 2017 they took over my student loans as processor. I paid them all payments required. Within the last few months it was brought to my attention that I still owe 100% of all my loans yet again. I attempted to contact this business by phone and they advised me they don't have me "on file". Since this was back in 2017 and I am just finding out now it's been hard to get anyone to help me.
