Wells Fargo & Company Student Loan Complaint

Non-federal student loan Can't repay my loan can't decrease my monthly payments

Wells Fargo & Company Student loan department,

Non-federal student loan Can't repay my loan Can't decrease my monthly payments Ohio

I have reached out to Wells Fargo many times to try to reduce my monthly payment for my private student loans. They have reviewed my finances two times in the past two years and determined based on my gross income that I can afford the monthly payment. They do not even take into account the other student loans I have or my monthly living expenses. One time I was told that I should get my co-signer to pay if I ca n't pay. When I told the customer service representative that my co-signer could not pay, then he apologized and said he could not do anything for me. I asked to speak to his supervisor and he forwarded me on to the supervisor, who told me the exact same thing. One representative asked me if I could borrow money from another person to pay my loan payment. I called multiple times prior to falling behind on my loan payments, and they refused to work with me to reduce my payments. Every time they mention a deferment, they say that I need to make a payment to bring the loan current. When I tell them that I can not make a


the deferment. When I tell them that I absolutely can not make the payment, they again say that there is nothing they can do for me. They bounce me back and forth between different departments, and when I ask to speak to their supervisors, they will sometimes transfer me to a person or someone 's voicemail, and they will tell me the same thing. They have sent numerous threatening letters and call both myself and my co-signer often daily and say in the letters and phone calls that they have tried to get a hold of me. When I call them, they tell me the same exact thing-either that I will need to make some kind of payment to be put on a deferment, or that I do not qualify for a payment reduction/change in my payment plan. Every time I ask the representative what I should do since I can not make the payment, they say I 'm sorry, there is nothing else I can do for you. I applied for a consolidation loan and they declined me, although they keep suggesting that I apply for the consolidation loan every time I talk to a representative. They refuse to work with me-they offer options and then tell me I either have to make a payment or do not qualify for the options. They have offered no real, viable options to help me afford my monthly payments.
