Complaint What Happened |
I have attempted to contact Peaks Private Loan over the years. They have wanted me to pay {$350.00} a month which I could not afford and the time and I still can not as I have XXXX other loans that I am trying to pay back to the best of my ability. At first they told me that they are not able to decrease my monthly payment. As time when on I was told that nothing can be done now as I owe a {$5000.00} Balance to bring the loan current. Last time I reached out to them they said that there was nothing that they can do because that private loan was sent to a collections agency. I have looked back into this from the paperwork I have. I have never signed for this loan it appears that XXXX took it out with out telling me that it would be a separate loan from my Federal Loan. The few sheets of paperwork that I have show that the money was sent directly to XXXX XXXX XXXX and not for my classes that I took. I was never sent paper work stating what Classes that the loan paid for. I also have my Federal Loan that shows that it paid for all of my classes except for 2 semesters that a XXXX {$10000.00} loan was taken out that was informed about. I believe that I am a victim of an XXXX Fraud Scandal, I remember signing for and giving permission for my federal loan and the {$10000.00} loan for when I was not able to get finical aid but I have never and would never sign a {$40000.00} private student loan.

Complaint What Happened |
I received a loan from XXXX to take the NY XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. Thereafter, I spoke with XXXX XXXX about monthly payments and they informed me that I could pay whatever I could afford. I paid {$30.00} through direct debit monthly. No other information was given to me except that these payments were fine. XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from First Associates, a loan company I had never heard of, stating that my payment was late. I called them and they said they now owned my XXXX loan and they did n't have my debit information so my account was late. This put up a red flag as I received no other info from them and it was not my fault that they did n't have my account info. I gave it to them and continued to pay $ XXXX monthly. Nothing whatsoever was said to me about increasing my payments, interest, etc. I did n't receive any paperwork from First Associates. Now I received a bill XX/XX/XXXX XXXX so presumably I did n't receive it until XXXX XXXX stating that I am 15 days past due for almost {$1000.00}. I do n't understand how I can be past due when I 've been making payments and no bill was sent to me about this amount in XXXX. I spoke with someone named XXXX who said " they tried to email me once. '' Apparently my loan has re-amortized and now I owe exorbitant amounts and have late fees even though a bill was never sent to me in time to pay. I believe First Associates has wrongfully failed to provide me with any information about my loan and who the company is and they are now attempting to force me to pay obscene amounts compared to what I was paying, charging late fees, and threatening my credit. In addition, their interest rate is usury at 17.19 %. After working for 3 full years to obtain XXXX, this was the only loan I was able to get in order to pay XXXX so I was forced to take a loan from a disreputable company at this horrifying interest rate, and now they are going to ruin my credit without any warning or paperwork regarding the status of my loan.

Complaint What Happened |
I chose to go to XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I applied for my student loans, it happened so quickly that I was n't even sure of what I signed. I was also told that through an XXXX program XXXX credit- I would have some, if not all, of my tuition reimbursed if I kept a grade level above XXXX which I did. That program then magically disappeared once I got in the door. I was told that ny student loans would go to XXXX XXXX and then they would be split between federal loan institutions. That did n't happen. Some of my loan when to XXXX XXXX, and the other part went to XXXX XXXX - a collection agency and private lender. Since they are a private lender, my interest rate is above 10 % and they refuse to work with you on lowering payments. This was a HUGE issue when I graduated. I called and asked when my first payment was due, and was originally told XXXX. a month later I received a call that my loan was in default and I had n't made my first payment that was due in XXXX. I explained that I had called and was told my payments were due in XXXX. They refused to listen to me, or work with me. I ended up owing over {$500.00} for my first payment with them because they refused to work with me. I could n't eat for a month because I had no money.
This was above and beyond predatory lending on XXXX 's part and on XXXX XXXX ' part.
