Servicers provide contradictory status updates across channels while the money remains in limbo, leaving borrowers responsible for a balance that was already paid but not yet applied.

A consumer made payments toward a loan they say they never actually received funds for, and even after paying the reported balance in full, the account remained on their credit report and caused a significant score drop. The consumer is left needing to fight for both a credit report correction and a refund of payments made toward a loan that, by their account, never existed.

A student loan servicer failed to apply a $1,200 payment for nearly 11 months, repeatedly missing its own self-imposed resolution deadlines even after regulatory complaints and confirmed payment trace numbers.
