How to refinance your Conduent student loans

You can refinance your Conduent student loans by taking out another loan with a private lender to pay off your current student debt. Refinancing is the only way to switch servicers if you have private student loans, and one of two ways to switch servicers for federal loans.

Federal loan holders might also want to look into taking out a Direct Consolidation Loan if they want to take advantage of federal benefits like income-driven repayment plans and flexible deferment options.

How to avoid common problems with Conduent

Since Conduent’s recent rebranding, it has no complaints filed against it with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) as of March 2019. However, ACS Education Services does.

Over 1,100 borrowers filed a complaint against ACS with the CFPB and over 14 customers have closed complaints against it through the BBB. However, the BBB gives it an F rating due to its failure to respond to six complaints filed against it.

Here are two of the chief complaints borrowers had with ACS or Conduent:

Incomplete or incorrect information about loans

Several customers complained about how difficult it was to get information about their loans. One wasn’t sure who their servicer was after ACS rebranded itself as Conduent. Another was led to believe that their loans were eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness when they weren’t.

• How to avoid it: Do some research on your own before making any changes to your loan and reach out to third parties like the CFPB or BBB if customer service isn’t able to answer your questions.

Incorrect credit reporting

A handful of customers also complained that ACS reported wrong information to the three credit bureaus, potentially hurting their credit scores. Many said the information was out of date, while others claimed the servicer reported late repayments when they’d only ever paid on time.

• How to avoid it: Regularly check your credit reports — you can get a free copy each year from the three main credit bureaus. If you see an error, contact both Conduent, the CFPB and the credit bureau to correct the mistake on your credit report.

What to expect with other student loan servicers

Bottom line

Conduent isn’t the easiest student loan servicer to work with. Its website is difficult to navigate, and it has a history of reporting wrong information to the credit bureaus. Since its customer service team isn’t always available — and sometimes gives out misinformation — you might want to consult our student loans guide and the Federal Student Aid website to learn more about how they work.

Frequently asked questions

• How do I apply for deferment or forbearance with Conduent?

  How you apply for deferment or forbearance depends on what type of loans you have. Generally, it involves filling out an application form, which you can download from Conduent’s main website. You might want to try reaching out to customer service if you’re unsure about the process.

• How do I change my repayment plan with Conduent?

  How you can change your student loan repayment plan generally depends on what type of loan you have. With federal loans, you typically have to fill out a form. Private student loans might involve a different process.

  Contact Conduent to learn how changing repayments works for your particular situation.

• Did my loan account number change when ACS became Conduent?

  No, your account number stayed the same during the transition.
