We purchased a contract from *** *** *** ("dealer") on October 11, for the customer to finance a documentation preparation fee the dealer charged to work with the Department of Education to refinance or consolidate student loan debt. The customer and dealer entered into a
written agreement, which Equitable Acceptance was not involved and clearly stated the dealer was offering a service to help navigate the student loan debt relief bureaucracy. The dealer has many programs to choose from to help the customer, and enrolls them into the best program based on the customer's financial situation. The dealer also included three years of re-enrollment and monitoring. If there is an issue with what program the customer was enrolled in, or needs to be re-enrolled into, they must me addressed with the dealer. The customer service number to contact the dealer is ###-###-####We look forward to having the customer fulfilling her obligation to us
I am rejecting this response because:
I've read all the documents that they had sent me and it made them sound like they a student loan forgiveness program and that they were will help me get out of my school debt but it seems that they just added on to itNow based on this response it seems like they're calling me an it and assuming that I didn't read the fine in which I always do when I sign a new agreement regarding any businessI really don't appreciate them coming back with this high and mighty tone attitude, is this how they treat all their customers that they deal with? if so they need to be stopped or put in their placeThey really need to check and analyze the problems with their staffing and managerial positions and customer service
I am rejecting this response because:Their response is not an accurate depiction of their actions and does not address the fact that their actions are predatory, unethical, and possibly illegalThe concept of charging to "help" a debtor in a time of distress is unacceptable by any honest businessperson that I have ever knownThey should provide actual help in such situations as mine
The company the customer was working with, Performance SLC ("dealer") had permission to access the customer's credit file to see if the customer qualified for a loan to finance the documentation preparation fee charged by the dealer to work with the Department of Education to refinance or
consolidate student loan debt. The dealer did not complete the work with the customer to create the loan. We cannot remove the inquiry since the customer gave the dealer permission to run the credit.
responded to an ad by my school, *** University, regarding student loan forgiveness programs. Soon after, I began receiving phone calls. I responded to one, explaining my concern about my rising student loan debt. I advised I was on an income-based plan requiring no payment, and the amount I owed continued to riseI advised I wanted to begin making payments; even a small amount, to offset the rising debt. I was led to believe that the amount I was to pay was to offset some of the cost. These companies did nothing to change my situation except to charge me $for a service I already had through Fedloan, my loan service provider. I have since spoken to Fedloan and was advised that I was not the first to complain about how these companies are taking advantage of desperate people trying to do the right thing by paying off the loans as best they can. *** *** *** nor Equitable Acceptance did not 'navigate' any student loan bureaucracy for me. I have the same loan provider I started with, Fedloan. It was previously determined that my payments will be 0.00, per Fedloan and that continues to be the case today. The only thing that changed is I now have an additional $debt due to being cheated and misled by these companies. They did absolutely NOTHING for me.
We purchased a contract from *** Corp aka ** *** *** ("dealer") on February 27, for the customer to finance the documentation preparation fee charged by the dealer to work with the Department of Education ("DOE") to refinance or consolidate student loan debt. The customer and
dealer entered into a written agreement, which Equitable Acceptance Corporation ("EAC") was not involved and clearly stated the dealer was offering a service to navigate the student loan debt bureaucracy. The DOE has several programs to choose from, and the dealer enrolled the customer in the Pay as You Earn program which had a zero payment to the student loans. The dealer also offered to re-enroll the customer for two additional years which was part of the fee they charged up front. The payments to EAC do not pay the student loan debt. If the customer has questions about the re-enrollment or the student loans, they must be addressed by the dealer at ###-###-####. We look forward to having the customer fulfilling her obligation to us

The account is presently two months past due becuase of the NSF checks. We are attempting to collect the money from the customer to bring the account current. Once to account is current, we will not be calling the customer. We have attempted to help help the customer by bringing the account current in April even though she was two months past due.

We purchased a contract from *** * *** (dealer) on January 12, for the customer to purchase a product from the dealerThe contract was dated January 4, and the cancel period to cancel with the dealer was January 9, 2017. The dealer did not get notification from the customer to
cancel the contract prior to that date. The fact that the first signer has passed away, while sad, does not release any responsibility the second signers has to fulfill this obligation. While returning the product is an option, this will not release the responsibility either. This customer needs to work with our collection department to get this obligation taken care of. They could have options to help the customer with this process. We look forward to working with the customer so we do not have to negatively report this to the credit bureaus

Complaint from Chameka ***, is one we do not believe to be a complaint against us. We purchased a contract from *** *** *** (dealer) on April 10, 2015. This account is for the fee the dealer charges to do the consolidation of the customer’s student loans with the Department of Education (DOE)The customer paid us several payments until April of when the payments we automatically withdrew from her checking account were returned to us as NSF. She had also had a NSF payment in August of which she paid and we agreed to waive the late fee. When the customer contacted the DOE, and decided that since she was not paying anything towards her student loans, she did not want to pay us either. We explained this was separate from the student loan payment, but she did not listened to us. I have attached the loan documents for this customer and we do not feel this is a legitimate complaint against us since we did not do anything wrongWe were simply attempting to collect on the loan she agreed to. Since my last response to this complaint, the dealer had us cancel the loan. This was done on June 2, The customer no longer has any obligation to usThe account will be removed from her credit bureau since the dealer cancelled the account Her last response on May 5, stated she never “got a loan from them”, but the attached documents show she did, and that she had proof of her loans still with Fed Loan Savings which she should still have, as we have nothing to do with the consolidation
We purchased a contract from *** *** *** ake *** *** *** (dealer) on September 22, for the customer to finance the documentation preparation fee charged by the dealer to work with the Department of Education to refinance or consolidate student loan debt. The
customer and dealer entered into a written agreement, which Equitable Acceptance was not involved and clearly states the dealer was offering a service to help navigate the student loan debt relief bureaucracy. Equitable Acceptance does not do any loan forgiveness, that is a program from the Department of Education that the dealer helped get the customer into at the time of the service provided. Part of the service is to re-certify each year to make sure the customer is still in the best program based on their financial situation. While this is an action the customer can do for themselves and not pay for, the fact is they enlisted the dealer to work on their behalf. The dealer charged a fee for the service which is what is being financed by us. (Just like enlisting someone to do your tax preparation for a fee, or having someone do your lawn service for a fee.) We look forward to having the customer fulfilling her obligation to us
