I was contacted by Alum Financial (Jeff Mather) while driving and offered what sounded like a great student loan repayment program. Unfortunately, when I arrived home and did some research, I found out I did not qualify for the program and that this company has horrendous reviews. I immediately cancelled my application. Jeff was great at communicating while taking my money but I heard only crickets once I cancelled.
Over the new couple days, I recieved multiple texts and email requesting additional documentation. Of course, I did not reply because I emailed them to cancel my application within 24 hours.
Yesterday they charged me $250 for "work" done on my file over the past few weeks. Wendy told me it was non-refundable as the work was already completed. In addition, my account would be sent to collections for the balance. Why would she say that if I hadn't missed a payment?
I was very clear with Jeff Mather if I could cancel this and he assured me it was very simple. I guess he meant once they took my money.
They have a BBB Rating of "F" so that obviously says something about a company that shows they've only been around for one year. It is extremely hard to get that rating unless you are intentionally scamming people.
DO NOT WORK WITH ALUM FINANCIAL!!!
I disputed the charge with my credit card company and she called them while I was on the phone. Alum Financial hung up on her.
