I was 26 @ the time and seperated,but living in her house.
anyway I owe like $800.00.They are threatening to take it out of my moms income tax,can they do this?I called and asked to speak with the women calling my house,she started cursing me at the top of her lungs when I hadn't cursed or yelled at her...she keeps saying she has my mom's signature and going after her income tax refund...what can be done here? This women won't stop yelling so I can even make arrangments...

Answer 1

Find out where this person is calling from and contact her supervisor or other person there in a higher position. Get them to fax you copies of the material. Be polite and patient, but threaten to keep climbing up the ladder until you get what you want. If they truly have her signature, yes, they can hit her tax refund, sorry!

Answer 2

To dispute any federal student loan issue, you'll probably get the best results from the FSA Ombudsman's office, which is sort of like the Department of Education's version of the Better Business Bureau. You can contact them at:

U.S. Department of Education
FSA Ombudsman
830 First Street, NE
Fourth Floor
Washington, DC 20202-5144

Hope this helps!
