School : XXXX UniversityLocation : XXXX, NCMy father was paying off XXXX of my Loan To Learn student loans until his passing in 2012. I have another Loan To Learn account that I pay monthly and that is still in good standing. Loan To Learn sent the loan my father had been paying into default and sold the loan to a lawyer in XXXX, NC without my knowledge. I was never made aware of this in any way until I ordered a free credit report and discovered a delinquent loan on my record. I called Loan To Learn thinking it was a mistake. It was n't. I told the customer service rep that the lawyer who Loan To Learn sold my loan to had never contacted me and I did not understand how this was legal. She said I could try sending my dad 's death certificate to the lawyer to see if he would " work with me ''. 

The customer service rep then gave me the lawyer 's contact information ( XXXX in XXXX, NC ). I called XXXX XXXX XXXX and explained my situation to the man on the phone, and then asked how much I would need to pay monthly. He laughed and replied, " Make me an offer. '' I offered to pay {$350.00} a month. He replied saying " they '' originally wanted {$500.00} a month. I asked him who " they '' were and he said XXXX. 

I said I could n't afford to pay {$500.00} a month on top of my other student loan bills, and he said to email his office my father 's death certificate to see if that would help. I obtained my father 's death certificate and emailed it to XXXX XXXX XXXX. A woman named XXXX responded to my email writing that the client declines my offer and requests {$400.00} a month, and asked if I could accept the counteroffer. I responded that I could not pay that amount each month. I then requested a written validation of the debt for my records. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX then sent me a letter saying that they will recommend that their client file suit if payment is not received within the next 30 days. The letter stated that " every legal step necessary will be exercised in order to collect this debt, including execution by the sheriff should judgement be rendered. '' They also began calling me at work. 

I replied again via email and said I could not pay {$400.00} a month, and have not heard from XXXX XXXX XXXX since then. 

I just want to pay my student loan at a reasonable monthly rate. This situation has wrecked my credit score, and I did n't even realize it was happening until I ordered a credit report. I do n't think asking for a monthly payment lower than {$400.00} is unreasonable. 

If I had never ordered a credit report and consequently reached out to Loan To Learn, I would have never known they sold my loan to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I 've made every effort to be proactive and pay my loan to no avail.
