Discover Student loan department,

Non-federal student loan Dealing with my lender or servicer Having problems with customer service California

I applied for a student loan through Discover- Student Loans -/-/2015. I had to ask my father to co-sign with me. Discover approved me for $8500.00 to cover classes and books for my 11 month - at University - - -. LOAN # - was approved at 7.115 % - my dad and I accepted this offer - variable rate. Discover 's loan center sent my certification docs to the wrong department which caused a delay in timely communication between my school and Discover. I actually started classes and was told by - that Discover was faxing to the wrong place. I had to call Discover myself and let them know what they were doing. I was told they had a wrong number in their system. A few more weeks go by and I am told by the university they have still not received any funds or certification. I had to call Discover again - only to find out that they were still faxing to the wrong dept. They were sending my certification to the - - - - dept. at - instead of the Law dept!!??? Additionally, I was told that they had to pull my credit again and


made? To make matters worse they continued to send my documentation to the wrong departments for the next several weeks. At one point weeks and weeks into this, they re-characterized my loan from an - loan to a - loan!! AGAIN - pulling my credit and increasing my rate!!! ALL TOLD, Discover dropped the ball countless times, making mistake after mistake and kept pulling my credit and writing more expensive offers every time!!! When I called to file a complaint about all of their errors and how they need to honor they first offer, and remove the hits to my credit report - they told me it was against the law for them to fix this!!! WHAT??? In the end, I have received - different offers over the course of 8-10 weeks that increased rates with each forthcoming offer. Please help me correct this - I think what they have done to my credit report and the audacity to keep sending me higher rate loan offers is exactly why your agency was created. To keep consumers from getting railroaded by companies who 's service is terrible and who refuse to take the steps to correct their big mistakes!!
