Today, I got a bill that didn't seem familiar to me. I looked at the bill a little closer and realized that it might be a duplicate statement on my daughter's student loan because I'm the co-borrower. I remembered that in the past, I had been receiving these statements, but it always said “co-borrower” on it. This statement didn't say co-borrower. In the past, these statements didn't worry or upset me. I would just rip them up and throw them away.
I called the customer service phone number and I spoke to a representative. They confirmed that it was for my daughter's student loan. She said that they had a new company printing up the statements and they didn't have the ability to have “co-borrower” typed on the top, like before. I was told that I would continue to receive these monthly statements. I told her that these statements were going to add stress to my life and that is not something that I need. I said that I had a memory impairment. I don't know if I will remember that I don't need to worry about this bill, when I receive another statement next month. She said that there was nothing that she could do to help me. She said that they had a financial obligation and I told her that I understood that.
I was so worried that each month when I got this statement, I would be worried that I had to pay this bill.
For someone not living with a memory impairment, the drama that I just described probably wouldn't have happened.
UPDATE: Luckily each month that I got this statement, I actually remembered that I didn't have to worry about it. I was so incredibly relieved!
