PHOENIX, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/30/07 -- The U.S. Department of Education March 26, 2007 released its Top 100 Consolidating Lenders for 2006 and 2005, with NextStudent firmly entrenched in the No. 4 position on the Top Lenders List. Over the past six years NextStudent has seen impressive growth, moving up a total of 44 spots on the list since its No. 61 position in 2002 to No. 17 last year, and then into the top five for 2006.

Phoenix-based NextStudent is a premier education funding company that began as a scholarship search engine in 1991 and has grown to serve hundreds of thousands of students in financing their college dreams in a simple, easy and reliable manner.

"We have come so far in the last five years, serving thousands of students through student loan consolidation. We are dedicated to continuing our commitment to top-notch customer service through delivering innovative technologies and new strategies that impact others in the field of education," said Jason Benedict, NextStudent's Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

The company has exhibited such strong consistent growth partly due to its outstanding customer service, as all borrowers are personally assigned an Education Finance Advisor to walk them through the student loan process from start to finish. Additional factors include new cutting-edge technologies and aggressive benefits such as the 1 percent LOCKED federal student loan consolidation discount that helps students save thousands over the term of their loan, according to NextStudent.

NextStudent does not deserve this No. 4 spot because they are fraudulent tricksters. I have applied for a loan in February this year and till now have not received the check despite being approved for the loan since March! They claim to have sent the check to me by mail three times ... each time I called to see where the check was and they had to issue a stop payment and reissue another check. Now on the 4th go around, I am being told that in spite of giving them my credit card information to have the 4th check expressed to me, they do not do express deliveries because "it's too much paperwork". Now they've sent the check to my school ... and they're not sure because they might have sent it to my school with my apartment number on the envelope! Each time I call I get a different response depending on who I speak with! And I'm still waiting. I swear they are operating out of someone's garage ... their agents do not know what they're doing and they just give you information on your status out of their ears! They're a bunch of fraudulent tricksters! And I'll be telling every student I know about their total ineptitude and trickery!
