              BCO misrepresents themselves. They state they are under StudentAid.gov, this is false. They received the first payment of $199, which they told me would go towards paying my student loan and nothing. I was robbed. Ive reported them to numerous agencies TransUnion, StudentAid.gov, FTC, my ******************** Do Not Call Registry, and to my local ****************** They continue to harass and threaten me after I have asked them to stop. BCO Consultants needs to be stopped. They are professional criminals. Id advise all of us to lawyer up and *** these people for misrepresenting themselves and harassment.
