GC Services Complaint - GC Services - Student loan collection
Student loan collection - Complaint
I am a soldier who is being harassed by GC Services for a student loan that I had deferred while I was over seas in a combat zone. After my early return due to injuries sustained while over seas I discovered on my credit report that my student loan was delinquent and in collections. I called up Sally Mae and spoke to them about the situation, and they said that they had sold the collection to GC Services. I contacted GC Services to dispute the collection. They said I needed to pay them money for a probationary period to get it out of collections. I explained to them that my last re-enlistment that I received "Tuition Assistance Repayment Program" for $10,000 dollars to cover the loan. They have refused to send the collection back to the original debtor so the loan can be paid off. I have been fighting with them sense. They call and harass me on a daily basis calling me at at 730 in the morning. This time they went too far. They some how got a hold of my commanding officer and spoke with him about the situation divulging the amount owed and all my personal information. I believe this to be a violation of my privacy because it is a civilian matter. Tomorrow I will kindly call them and speak to them as well write them a letter not to contact me on my phone or at my place of work or I will sue them for harassment at my work place and violation of my privacy and make them pay for the debt. I'm currently in a situation where I am trying to recover from injuries sustained fighting for this country just to return have some collection agency cause me that much more pain and suffering.

Call you local congressman (or woman) and ask for help resolving your problem with these (expletive deleted). Sallie Mae is just a scam to tax students to give deadbeat bankers a job and driving up the cost of an education. Thanks for serving in the armed forces!
