I have an old student loan in fact it was 2 student loans, they were both for $2500.00. I defaulted quit a few years ago. GC Services finally caught up to me but they have my original principal at $3995.00 each which amounts to almost $8000.00 with penalties and fees it's almost $16000.00. I have paperwork that says my original principal is 4895.00,on the two loans that were consolidated.
GC services wants me to sign a paper that has bad numbers on it, including the date that I made my first payment, which was 10/25/10 on the paper it says I will make my first payment on 11/25/10, and this bogus amount.
I feel I should not sign because essentially I'll be signing a new loan, and agreeing to an amount.
It also says that if I make my payments for nine month that I agree for the to sell my loan to another agency who can capitalize on all aspects of this loan which will, what, double it. i think I need someone to represent me, any suggestions.


GC services doesnt make up these numbers....they come from your guarantor. Your original may have been $2500 but by the time they caught up with you the capitalized interest your guarantor paid was probably the $3995. Interest continued to accrue PLUS collections fees....it is quite easy for $5000 to turn in $16000. You can log into NSLDS...they will list your loan balances without collection fees.
