I have filed everything the company (Direct Loans) has asked for including a police report,
notarized signatures of my signature, copy of my drivers license and SS card. The forged signature is so sloppy that a first grader could tell its not mine. I have also went to the Federal Ombudsman and the Inspector general over this to no avail. I have been told to get an attorney to sue them but I will have more in attorney fees to fight it then whats its worth. And there is no guarantee that I will get attorney fees if I do win. Does anyone know of a court case that I could look up to read so I can file the suit myself? Or how I could resolve this?
Quite honestly, your best bet is to get an attorney. Not only can he/she help you with Direct Loans, but they can also prosecute the person that forged your name.
I would suggest going to your state’s attorney general. Talk with him/her about the issue. Your state’s AG can help you with the case.
Also, you consult with a lawyer, usually for a nominal fee (if any) and then decide from there if you want to pursue a legal case.
If your parent’s or your employer has an Employee Assistance Program, they have access to legal advice for free. I would contact them as well.
Without a lawyer, your attempts to persuade Direct Loans is low.
They have to prove it is you.
I am in almost the same situation, but mine is a computer error, I think. No signature or loan application can be found. Very frustrating. I have been trying for over 25 years to solve problem. Collectors have been rude,mean and have used racial slurs (I am white) during telephone conversations. My credit has been downgraded. My attorney told me to wait until a hearing takes place on their part, because an average citizen can not realistically sue the U. S. Government. I have requested a hearing and am now waiting.
