Non-federal student loan Dealing with my lender or servicer Don't agree with fees charged Washington
In -, I spoke with a Wells Fargo representative who told me that my loans would not need to be repayed until - unless I graduated before that, in which case I would have a 6-month grace period after my date of graduation. My school inaccurately reported that I graduated in - -. I needed to work with the school to update my graduation date to - -. I submitted paperwork to Wells Fargo with this information, and I expected a 6-month deferment period after -. However, Wells Fargo said that part of my loan had entered repayment while I was still in school. I thought this was part of the same clerical error, so I attempted to work with them to update the repayment date. However, they insisted that part of my loan went into repayment while I was still enrolled - in school, and they declared this loan in default and demanded payment in full. I do not have the amount that they are requiring I pay upfront, and they are not willing to work with me to find a manageable solution to a problem that they created. They claimed to be able to consult phone recordings of previous conversations with them, but they refused to check on the call where I was informed that I would not have to start paying until -. Further, they said they attempted to contact my co-signer about this, but my co-signer did try to call them, and they refused to talk to her. They said that I needed to speak with them directly. However, they would always call while I was at work and unable to answer, and every time I tried to reach them, the call went to voicemail. It seems that they were trying to prolong the conversation period in order to force this loan into full repayment.
