Well, where do I start? I read most of the posts here and thought that this would be a good place for some advice/help/sanity.
My husband and I both have outstanding CIBC student loans. Anyone who has dealt with them know that they never set out reasonable payments. Long story short....ten years later they are now being collected by the pirannas at NCO. We have made payments when we could. Now, now it is getting really fun.
They made us a settlement offer in November. Went to CitiFinancial, couldn't borrow enough to make them happy. In the meantime we looked at moving our mortgage because of CIBC's right to offset and lo and behold, NO ONE (meaning a bank) will take our mortgage. We are now in the process of refinancing with the hope of enough to pay the suckers off with a secondary lender (scary I know).
Today, I get a call at work, after I have repeatedly asked them not to, and when I questioned why he was calling me at work, the yelling started. Apparently the settlement offer is off the table and they are going to sue. I came home, called the lawyer handling the mortgage transfer and she is sending them notice to cease and desist.
Anyone got any insight? Want more info? lol Any help would be great.
