I consolidated my student loan to **********. When ECSI transferred the loan I had a credit of $768. 72. ECSI has not sent me the credit. They claim to have sent Aidvantage the credit however they refuse to provide proof. Aidvantage has never received the credit. I have called several times and have been hung up on. I reached out to *************************** who has tried to intervene on my behalf with no resolution.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

The attachments show that Aidvantage disbursed $60,399.74 on 7/26/24 to ECSI and ECSI applied it 8/2/24 which then showed a $768.72 credit on my account. 5 Days later on 8/7/24 they show an amount of $59,631.02. ECSI states they sent the credit of $768.72 to Aidvantage which Aidvantage says they never received. The amount that was applied to Aidvantage and then resold to Mohela was $60,399.74. ECSI states in their reply that I can reach out to their customer service line for help which I have done several times only to be hung up on, told supervisors are not available and that my claim is resolved and they will not look further into it. ********************************* has also reached out on my behalf several times with no resolution. I have asked for proof numerous times from ECSI that they sent the credit to Aidvanatge with no proof being provided. On several occasions ECSI customer service told me different stories. First the credit was sent directly to me and just to wait. When it never arrived I was told it was sent to **************** and to call them. I called **************** and ***** State said they never received it. I was then told it was sent to ********** and I had to wait 8 weeks for which I did and nothing. Their reply does not resolve my issue of the missing $768.72.

E.C.S.I Heartland are the worst company to deal with when it comes to student loans. I went to school with *********************** that misled me into believing that I CAN transfer with my courses to other schools and further my career in the medical field. I graduated *********************** in 2011 with my Associates degree in Medical Assisting. It is 2024 and I am still waiting to be accepted for a job. Nevertheless, E.C.S.I Heartland told me today that my balance of $36,087.26 for an Associate's degree that I can't even use, is in Pre-Acceleration. I thought all my loans were in Forbearance. I was told by the Live Agent that only 2 of my 4 loans are in Forbearance. The 2 that aren't are in Pre-Acceleration. I asked to be placed in Forbearance as the previous agent said that I would be and I was told that I have "exhausted" my chances to put these loans in Forbearance. What? Is this a joke? This is unacceptable.

07/21/24, I called to clarify the account number/what I owed, and they stated there was no account with my name/university. After many calls on 07/23/24 (9 total calls), a check was mailed with all the account info. they requested with the full amount owed at that time $6,056. They received this on 07/29/24. Its shows on my account under ********************** history. I received another bill in the mail showing that I had not made any payments/ I owed even more than before because of the added interest. I called many times on 08/20/24 to see what the issue was. They sent back the check stating it was the wrong account number they gave me. The mail bill account number did not match what was on the account. They ensured me that they corrected this and to use the number on the account online when sending in the payment. Another check was sent in with the information they told me to use with it for the full amount owed at the time $6087 (they would not knock off the interest even though they admitted the account number issue was on their end). They received this on 09/04/24. It is stated in my account online that they received this. However, again they did not process this and list it as a payment on my account, and I received another bill stating no payments have been made. I did not want to make any additional payment when they have not stated to me why the previous check was not processed. On today 11/04/24, I called twice to see what was wrong with the account and check sent in. Again, they had trouble finding me with the account number that was on my online account through their website. About 20 minutes into the phone call, I was put on another hold to see about the check and I was hung up on. After I told them many times, we did exactly what they told us to do when submitting the check. I did not do online payment because it was hundreds of dollars of fees when paying the amount. I have reached the point where I am unsure what they have done with the money sent to them.

Our review of Ms. **************** account determined that on July 1, 2024, Ms. **************** July bill, which was sent on June 10th, was returned to ECSI as undeliverable and her account was marked as having a bad address. On July 6, 2024, an email was sent to ********************************* notifying her that her account was five days past due. On July 21st, Ms. *************** logged into the ECSI website and acknowledged her correct address. The payments that Ms. *************** attempted on 7/29/2024 and 9/4/2024 were returned by the banking institution with the reason of Unable to Locate Account, meaning that the bank could not find any account with that account number in its records and the *********************** could not be processed.

Hello. Countless past communications, I contacted E.C.S.I. students servicer for ************************* requesting an economic hardship deferment. Very recently, my financial situation has gotten worse. With rent, utility bills, car payments, auto and home insurance, gas and groceries, my financial situation meets a crunch mid month scraping to get by. The last few months or so, when able, I scheduled automatic bank draft payments which has now knock down what little I could makes ends meet as a bridge to the next month. Additionally, *** had no savings in a long time. On the E.C.S.I. website there were no forms to be found for the ********* loan from the *************************. I was no doubt given this loan after earlier situations, also being the family member of the ************************** first Black student. I was denied many opportunities while a student there, except being given this private student loan when I fully qualified for all Federal student financial aid and a local in state grant. Ive attached over a dozen pictures from the E.C.S.I. website. Help is needed, even if a financial plan of significantly smaller amounts could be paid monthly. Preferably at least a 6 month to a year deferment with paused interest or affordable payments to keep the interest down. Help needed badly.

Hello. Clarification on what the company, E.C.S.I. student loan serviced did wrong is as I already stated, and showed in photos of their website, there are no financial hardship, deferment, forbearance or any needed forms pertaining to the ********* student loan, and no one could tell me anything or what to do calling. They couldnt even let me know if I could put my payments directly towards the principal instead of the interest. Most of my past emails were never answered also. So, yes, there are many things wrong.

ECSI has responded to several complaints from Mr. Rayford on this topic of his McKinstry loan that was provided while he attended the University of Mississippi.
Mr. Rayford's complaint is outside the services ECSI offers. ECSI is not involved in the type of loan a student receives. These decisions are made by the school.
The type of entitlements associated with a loan are determined when the loan is created and would be documented fully within the promissory note signed when the funds are provided.

ECSI is saying i opted for electronic billing but i never opted in. ECSI Stopped sending paper bill. So they can charge late fees. I asked for my paper bill for August they refused to send me one. I went online to pay because they refused to send me bill in mail and noticed they charge 3 % + 1.25 for paying online which leads me to believe ECSI is forcing people who are already struggling to pay online so they can collect extra fees.

On January 18, 2024 I authorized Heartland ECSI to draft my bank account for $2104 for five months of unpaid payments. At no point did Heartland ever call or email me to let me know that my account was past due. On that day, I set up a one time ACH payment to bring my account current. I noticed on July 24, 2024 that every month since February Heartland ECSI has drafted a monthly payment of $2,104 even though I have email proof saying that I canceled the recurring payment on January 18, 2024. When I called Heartland ECSI they were extremely unhelpful and and gaslighted me by saying that I authorized them to withdraw five times my monthly payment for seven months. I have reported them to student aid.gov and have submitted a claim for fraud to my bank.

We have reviewed Ms. ******’s

our account portal at 2:10PM EST which was subsequently cancelled. On January
18, 2024 at 2:20PM, a recurring payment was set up by Ms. ****** in the same
amount to draw each month on the 20th.

Users paying through our account
portal have several options when making a payment online. Some of these payment
methods may result in a processing fee being added to a payment amount thereby
increasing your total payment.
If one of
the following options is used, a processing fee will be added to the payment
amount:
One-time credit or debit card payment
One-time direct debit (checking or savings account) payment
Recurring credit or debit card payment
There are
also several fee-free payment options:
Recurring direct debit (checking or savings account) payment
Mailing a check or money order
Using a banking institution or third-party billing service. Please note that a bank or a third-party billing service may charge a fee to submit the payment on the payor’s behalf
This information is displayed to
all users prior to advancing to the payment options on our website. Actual
processing fees are displayed after the payment type and amount is entered. The

I contacted the company by phone after receiving a $45.65 bill and spoke with Martin, informing him that my loan had been consolidated, so the balance should be $0.

Martin stated that the consolidation was not showing in their system and therefore it was not complete.

However, after providing documents proving the consolidation was successful, Martin was able to locate the completed consolidation in the system. Yet he could not explain the remaining $45.65 balance and advised me to reach out to the collection agency.

During this conversation on July 15, I also requested to speak with a supervisor after a representative named Lakeithia Hughes contradicted Martin's findings . Via chat, Hughes stated that the consolidation was not in the system, contradicting Martin's earlier assessment. When I made Ms. Hughes aware of this contradiction, she disconnected the chat. Martin assured me that a supervisor would contact me within 48 hours. However, as of July 24, I have not received any communication from the company.

As per Martin's instructions, I contacted the collection agency, who confirmed the balance had been paid in full and the court case was dismissed - they had provided documentation to support this months ago. I relayed this information to Martin, who then told me to contact the new loan servicer as the collection agency had returned the account with a $33 balance and that ECSI wouldn't make up erroneous numbers. When I requested an itemized statement, Martin said he could only read it to me verbally, not email it.

I later spoke with Destini via chat and she also stated that she did not see where the loan was consolidated and that I would need to make payments until the loan fully went through.

This situation is very concerning and confusing. I would like to have this resolved as soon as possible. I am requesting a detailed explanation of charges, billing adjustment, and correction to my credit report.

I have had issues with them refusing documents to avoid loan forgiveness on several occasions. My loans are the type of loans that require you to teach 1 year for each loan you were given. You need to submit a document before you start teaching and another showing you completed the contract. In the past nothing has worked beyond contacting ASU directly, then once they're involved they often have to spend weeks trying to get someone to answer their calls as well. When I tried to make a call and chat today to get help when they said my documents are blank, I was hung up on both times when I asked to speak to a supervisor when they refused to help. They told me to mail in the documents, but last time I did that, they told me they were "lost" and it was months of trying to get support.

BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
