Consumer complaint received 2023-01-24
Company: MOHELA
State: KS
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint:
I submitted for PSLF XX/XX/22. MOHELA has sent 3 separate letters saying my loan does not meet criteria. Each time, I have to call and hold for literal hours before I can speak to an employee incapable of helping. Each time, there is literally nothing they can do. However, I have worked for the XXXX for 12 years and made far more than the 120 payments required to have my loans forgiven. They have once again reset the clock of 90 business days. Being a XXXX XXXX during COVID for the last three years has been enough of a stressor alone. Adding in the atrocious customer service and horrible communication from this company adds insult to injury. I just want my information to be evaluated fairly so I never have to deal with this greedy shady corporation ever again. 
My XXXX administration faxed my employment information in XXXX and I have been denied yet again as saying I have only paid 2 payments. Over 6 months for them to evaluate employment and send 3 separate letters saying that I don't meet loan forgiveness criteria. Which is incredibly weird when each time they say it hasn't been evaluated yet.

Complaint:
I have been a victim of a rental scam. The individuals posted an ad on a page in XXXX called " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' and were advertising a 3 bedroom and 2 bath apartment for {$1500.00} with all utilities included. They provided a phone number 4 to my husband and when I called I spoke to a woman and her husband who claimed a {$950.00} security deposit would be needed to hold the apartment and a {$1500.00} 1st month rent due on XX/XX/XXXX on move day. When I asked her if I could view the apartment she insisted that she had puerto rican tenants still living there and they won't be leaving until the XXXX of XXXX. She asked for my ID and my paystubs then called me XXXX minutes later stating I was approved based on their background check, then told me she had a bunch of people interested but if I really wanted the apartment she can hold it for me with the {$950.00} deposit, she then sent me the lease via text stating her email wasn't working. I went ahead and sent her the {$950.00} via XXXX  to email XXXX which is registered under a person named XXXX XXXX. A few minutes after that payment I see an ad in the XXXX XXXX stating their ad was a scam, so I texted her back and told her I want a refund because I just found out they were scammers. She advised me she would return the money and also take me to court for defamation. I haven't received my money back. Their phone number is a textnow phone # and the support team has already advised they will assist in the investigation, I would like to have this case investigated. They are currently posting online in different groups/states/cities stating they have apartments for rent. 

This all happened on XX/XX/22
