I signed up with this company to assist with consolidating my numerous student loans and to assist with The PSLF program. I feel like I was misled after speaking with both of my loan servicers today. I was told by a representative from APEX, that I would have a smaller monthly payment around {$400.00}, and most of my loan would be forgiven. I paid them {$1200.00} in 6 monthly installments, with the last one paid in XX/XX/2023. I had not heard anything from them since XXXX so I sent an email in XXXX to get an update. I was told that a message was given to the rep that was handling my account. I called back in XXXX and requested more information regarding the status and if I could get a letter regarding how much my payment was going to be. I was told my payments were going to be around $ XXXX at this time. I was told someone would be in touch. I did get a request for paystubs so I did send them and received an email they were received.
I got another email from one of my student loan servers that an income driven application was received, but no income was received so it was denied. I also found out from the department of education that my loans were already supposed to be consolidated so they could be submitted for the income driven application.
I have been warned I may have been a victim of a scam that was going on last fall with the PSLF applications. The only resolve that I would like is to have this company to stop all actions on my account and refund my money. I will communicate with the department of education and the loan servicer moving forward about this account.

I sent in a loan forgiveness application to through site, studentaid.gov. Was contacted by a company I thought was with department of education because they had all of my information : social security number, address, date of birth etc. They informed me that I met all the qualifications and could receive and loan forgiveness. I got a notication from my bank that showed the first installment of {$200.00} was being taken from my account for the {$1200.00} fee. I noticed then that the money was not going to department of education but to Apex XXXX XXXX. I called Apex back and told them I wanted to cancel because they never disclosed they were not with the department of education. The gentleman I spoke with, XXXX XXXX, stated he was a former employee of the department of education and that he knows how the system works. In formed me that if my application had not been approved by the end of XXXX I would receive a complete refund. XX/XX/XXXX, they again deducted money from my account. When I attempted to contact, all I got was a answering machine. I put in a dispute with my bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX. The company has not responded back.

I was scammed by a company by the name of 'Apex Processing Center '. They had called me towards the end of the day to immediately call them back while I was on my way home from a very long day work. They were very convincing since they already had most of my information, including my SSN, which I had never given.They had me agree to sign a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ' to pay back my student loans, which would have lowered mine from {$27000.00} to {$13000.00}. They also claimed to have found 8 separate loans and merged them into one new loan from the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I would pay this back over the course of 240 months, being charged {$160.00} for the first XXXX months, then {$53.00} for the remainder after that, and would be charged on the XXXX of every month. They also said I would have to recertify every year. They had also charged my bank account an additional {$500.00} through a different entity that I had never agreed to.I had also gotten an email from XXXX to my work email address, which I had never given them. They had also changed the password for my XXXX account. Please help!!
