AES/PHEAA Student Loan Complaint

Non-federal student loan Can't repay my loan can't temporarily postpone payments

AES/PHEAA Student loan department,

Non-federal student loan Can't repay my loan Can't temporarily postpone payments Wisconsin

After paying $17000.00 of a $30000.00 student loan debt my life fell into extreme financial hardship. When I called the loan company, prior to default, explained the situation, then asked for temporary hardship deferment or any other programs that would keep me out of arrears I was told my only options were to pay or default. With no other option, I went into default. After filing bankruptcy the student loan could not be dismissed as ALL OTHER LOANS CAN. I was then suited for $40000.00 on a $30000.00 debt in which I had already paid $17000.00. I filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( case # - ). The collections agency claimed they would take $16000.00 and directed me to speak with their attorney. The attorney hired by the collections agency who bought the debt from a company that was NOT the issuer of the loan said I have to fill out a full financial disclosure before they can consider or discuss a settlement. I sent them a disclosure. I did NOT include the name of my bank or the company I work for as they requested. The attorney said I HAVE TO disclose the name of


for easy garnishment information. I have not obtain council so far because it would reduce the amount of money I had to settle the debt with. I have limited resources, deportation was ordered to my husband, I may have to leave the country soon ( proof of that WAS sent to the attorney ) and I am looking of a settlement that I actually have the money to pay at once to settle the matter. Offering the entire balance of my checking account, $8500.00 ( statement balance ) they are bullying me and refusing to talk. I have provided ample information and disclosures.
