Man Shocked After Getting 55,000 Duplicate Statements From A Loan Company

An Ohio man received 55,000 duplicate letters addressed to his home by a student loan company leaving him shocked.

Dan Cain felt something was amiss when he was told that his mail will not fit in through the front door of his office, by a postal worker from Twinsburg, Ohio. When Cain drove his truck to the back of the building where the postal worker was waiting, he was shocked to see him bring out two large bins of letters, WOIO-TV reported.

Cain was in disbelief and asked if the postal worker was kidding.

However, that was not the case. It turned out that there were more than two bins of mail that were addressed to Cain. The worker delivered 79 bins, each containing roughly 700 letters and Cain had to make two trips to his home, which was 25 miles away, to dump the letters in his garage there.

The letters were all duplicate statements for a loan that Cain and his wife had taken out for college tuition from College Ave Student Loans.

Additionally, Cain pointed out that the company had obviously wasted a lot of money in sending them the mail as the interest rate calculations in the statements were wrong.

Cain said he even thought of starting a bonfire and burning all the mails.

College Ave Student Loans blamed a glitch in its mailing system for the error and apologized to Cain for the inconvenience caused to him.

“We are working with Dan directly on a remedy, including picking up the mail from him if possible and a statement credit for the inconvenience,” Tim Staley, the company's chief operating officer, told WOIO-TV.

“I just hope it doesn’t happen again, I might just have to return to sender,” Cain told WOIO-TV.
