Type of a scam Credit Repair/Debt Relief
I initially heard about Student Loan Advocacy Group through a financial planner about managing student loan debt. Initially I spoke with someone named Chase C***, but then he “got transferred” and I was speaking with someone named Donald G***. It took months to process my loan, I didn’t get any response after I needed to update my loan because of having a child and change in family size, I made multiple emails and phone calls without response (every phone number I have goes to a lab answering machine; no one has ever actually answered my calls directly), and eventually I just contacted my loan services and applied for myself. I’m paying for services that are not being provided. I cancelled my autopay for services because no services were being provided. I’ve received emails about going into collections and have tried to contact them with no response.
