13. Loan Servicers Can Be Unreliable
Unfortunately, loan servicers sometimes make mistakes or give inconsistent advice. Borrowers have reported issues with misapplied payments, confusing statements, and misinformation about repayment options.
If you experience issues, consider filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Staying proactive and informed can help you avoid costly errors down the line.
