Who Is National Collegiate Student Loan Trust?
I often receive phone calls asking me who is National Collegiate Student Loan Trust and why are they suing me if I never took out a loan with them? It can be confusing to receive notice that you are being sued by National Collegiate Student Loan Trust, when you don’t know who they are. The bank you took out your original private student loan with are called the “originators” of the loan. In addition to some of the ones listed previously, NCT also purchases student loans in a trust pool from Charter One Banks, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Union Federal Savings and others.
It doesn’t matter that you didn’t take out your student loan with National Collegiate Student Loan Trust, they now own your debt and you now owe them. When NCT takes over your lawsuit and if you have kept up with your payments, then American Education Services (AES) will be servicing your loan. If your NCT loan goes into default (more on this in the next section), then they will be transferred to Transworld Systems, Inc. (TSI) for servicing and collections.

Many of the lawsuits brought by NCT are handled by the law firm Patenaude & Felix. Your first inkling you are about to be sued by National Collegiate Student Loan Trust is a demand letter from Patenaude & Felix letting you know that you have 30 days to dispute the validity of the student loan debt in question. After the 30 days, if there is no dispute, you will most likely be served with a lawsuit from NCT.
