Question:
Dear Steve,
Received a statement from the IRS saying THEY goofed, misapplied some payments, and now I owe money–plus interest penalties! For THEIR mistake? Ridiculous.
Also, the federal loan rehab application that I have fedexed, faxed and sent via certified mail with confirmation of receipt each time is being ignored.
Can you recommend a federal loan savvy lawyer in Seattle who also knows tax law? As soon as possible, please–I also just got laid off from my job. 🙁
K
Answer:
Dear K,
It is no surprise your loan servicer is not handling the loan rehabilitation request in an efficient manner. Sloppiness seems to be the standard these days.
I have no idea of someone in Seattle who is both a “savvy” student loan attorney and a tax lawyer. That’s an unusual combination.
While I do publish a list of student loan attorneys I don’t have anyone from the State of Washington.
Another place to look for a student loan attorney would be here or here.
