Am I the only one having problems with direct loans?

This is a form of a vent, but I also want to know if anyone else is having problems with errors that direct loans is making. I was lucky enough to get a job lined up immediately after graduation, and than direct loans started asking me to pay my payments earlier based on an error that they supposedly received from a college I attended in the past, and it is happening all over again. They are blaming the school, the school is blaming the new nationalized system that started this year. I am believing that direct loans is at fault because they are telling me a totally different story everytime I call. Am I the only one having these problems? I feel like they aren't held accountable because they're a government company.

I would recommend consolodating to a different company, thus simply getting rid of them and the problem. That's probably what they're aiming for ultimately in a sneaky fashion anyway, but they can't come out and say so.

You can't consolidate with anyone but them. It's the new nationalized student loan system.

Direct loans is awful. I had the hardest time just logging in to pay. You would think they would they would make it easy, like everyone else so they can get paid. Its ridiculous & frustrating, but not sure there is anything that can be done. That's how government agencies are- TERRIBLE.
