This organization advertises on the radio to help people with the "Obama Student Loan forgiveness program". They simply fill out a consolidation loan application for you and charge you $800. The loan application is something you can do yourself with Direct Loans for FREE. If you give them any money they will refuse to give it back stating that the phone calls you made to them cost them money and the emails they sent you cost them money. this was the reason stated for keeping my $217 deposit. I gave them a deposit of $100 to get the program started and was to make several installment to pay the $800.Greg emailed me documents for me to sign but I never did so because I was not 100% sure about the whole idea.

I learned that I could do this application myself and asked for a refund. Greg said the accounting department, which is probably the guy in the next desk, would contact me about processing the refund. several days passed without any contact so I called back and had to leave a voice mail for Greg. I also sent him and email. that Friday they withdrew an additional $117 from my checking account. I email Greg again and called. Another guy, who tried really, really hard to be as hateful as possible, said they would not refund the money and there was nothing I could do about it.

I should not have acted impulsively by giving them the first deposit before doing some research so it cost me $217. I have an attorney working on it now. I was reffered by a friend to (((REDACTED))) helped me get out of this situation. He explained how to consolidate my student loans by myself and he reffered me to (((REDACTED)))to handle my credit card debts.
