Complaint #1566348 submitted on 09/16/2015 relating to Genesis Lending. Complaint relates to Student loan Non-federal student loan - Dealing with my lender or servicer Received bad information about my loan.

Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Wednesday 16th September 2015.

Narrative (may be redacted).

I applied for and received a Genesis Loan to attend XXXX PA XX/XX/XXXX. I applied for the Genesis loan because I was told it was my best option to get funding for my education. During my time at XXXX, I paid on interest on my Genesis Loan. I also had to reapply for a second loan to finish out the school year/education. Recently there has been a lawsuit against XXXX XXXX, owner of XXXX and other schools. They were told to pay 40 % of students loans who had gotten Genesis loans. When I found out about it, I inquired why I had not received the 40 % forgiveness. I was told that I never had a Genesis loan. I asked how that was possible since everything I signed at school was for Genesis or a federal loan. I was told they just serviced the loan. I asked who the owner of the loan was and they gave me a name but they could not give me a number/address/website or any information regarding how to contact the owner of the loan. I decided to file a complaint. I got a response from Genesis that they never owned the loan and would request the loan be taken off my credit history. Due to my work, I did not have the time to gather the information I needed to file a dispute to their claim. After I filed the complaint, I received a letter from Genesis stating that they would no longer be servicing my loan XXXX. I had never heard of XXXX before Genesis told me about them. I have tried to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX to get a copy of my original loan information but that has led to no where. The research I have done into them has proven no known employees, no phone number and no website that I can find. I started looking through my taxes and emails and found my student loan statements XX/XX/XXXX. It shows the lender of my loans. My federal loan is owned XXXX. My private loan was owned by Genesis Lending XXXX. The emails I found are from a Genesis email account, asking my father to finish his cosigner application online at the Genesis website. I believe Genesis Lending has falsely moved owner ship of my loan to avoid forgiving 40 % of my private loans.
