<prompt> Human: I had a 10,000 private student loan that my dad had to co-sign for me. I paid that one off first because I know the risks of co-signing someone elses loans and I wanted to make sure I took care of that loan first. I paid a total of 1683.30 in interest on the loan and the 1098-E just arrived with all my dads information on it. How should I handle this? I want to claim this for myself since I am the one who paid for it.Assistant: Call your servicer to straighten it out.Human: When I tried contacting them, they could not talk to me because I was not my dad. How does this happen? I thought this was MY loan that he co-signed...it looks like it is HIS loan...  <response>: In that case, I would talk to your dad and ask if he cosigned the loan or took the loan out in his name and listed you as a cosigner. I would also have him contact the servicer to clear this up.
