THE STUDENT LOAN RELIEF DEPARTMENT Equitable acceptance, Manhattan beach venture LLC, SLRD Avoid this company at any cost scam will send you to collection even if you did not use their service Redondo Beach California

I called this company to enquire about their service to apply for a student loan repayment plan. The first thing, they made me sign a contract over the phone for $1850 for the filing fee, then started asking about SSN for me and my wife but when I refused to give them the SSN for my wife, they said they could not do it without and i will not be charged any money as they could not apply for me. They are right that they have to have the SSN but untill this day they try to collect the money from me even though I applied for myself and did not use their service. I contacted the company plenty of times and few of the times I was able to get hold of them and they confirm that i do not owe any balance and the next week someone from there shows up asking for the debt. I sent the a legal letter to request proof of debt, they returned the envelop back claiming that it could not be forwarded. If you have a similar situation with them, you need to compain to BBB, consumerfinance.gov and take them to a small claims court because they are not going to leave you alone.
