Wells Fargo Student loan department,
Non-federal student loan Dealing with my lender or servicer California
The Student Loans are my daughter 's in which my husband & I co-signed. My daughter missed - payments on the loan and then called to try to fix it and told Wells Fargo that she was in the process of filling bankruptcy but did not want the student loans to be a part of it because we co-signed on it. Wells Fargo did not care and put the loans into Charge Off Status with their Bankruptcy department. When the loan was in default Wells Fargo said they tried to get a hold of my husband and I by sending a letter to us, however we had moved from - to - and they sent it to our - address and by the time they received the returned letter it was in the bankruptcy department and they said they do not contact co-signers when it is in bankruptcy. My husband and I have multiple accounts with Wells Fargo including a Mortgage, They could have found our information if they wanted to find us, I feel they really never tried. My daughter never told us what was going on and Wells Fargo decided to destroy my husband and my credit without
immediately contacted Wells Fargo and have been trying to work with them to rectify this and they just keep telling me that as a co-signer it was my responsibility to know what was going on with them. Unfortunately as a co-signer on a student loan you do not have access to Student Loans only the originator does. Had Wells allowed me to keep record of the loan on my Wells Fargo online banking I would have remembered to update the address with the Student Loans with the rest of my accounts when I moved and I would have seen right away when my daughter stopped making payments and would have addressed it before it reached the point it did. Part of being a co-signer is to take responsibility when the originator can not, but how can a co-signer do this if they are not notified or are not allowed access to the accounts? How can my husband and I get help to get our credit repaired and keep this from happening to others in the future from these big banks??
