Company: MOHELA
State: OH
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint:
I don't have any outstanding issues as of now. I am making this complaint in public interest. My complaint is that it is super hard to contact Mohela to get information. One has to wait for around XXXX hours on the phone to get in touch with someone at Mohela. 

After trying to get in touch with Mohela over many days in vain, i took one day off from work specifically to call them. I contacted Mohela, my student loan service provider via phone for information on student loan on XX/XX/2022. I called on their number XXXX. I was put on hold for XXXX hours and XXXX minutes. 

While I was able to get in touch with customer service at Mohela on XX/XX/XXXX after the XXXX hour wait, I had to forgo my income for that day. I am sure that many people are struggling with the same issue. When i asked the customer service person why there is such a long wait, i was told that it is due to the high call volume. In contrast calls i made to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( my first provider before loans got transferred to Mohela ) where answered in less than 10 minutes. I am sure than such a long wait time for Mohela is to dissuade people form contacting them.

Complaint:
IN THIS COMPLAINT YOU WILL FIND A DISPUTE THAT REFERENCE INQUIRIES THAT I MAIL TO EXPERIAN DATED XX/XX/2023. ON XX/XX/XXXX EXPERIAN RESPONDED WITH A LETTER SENT DIRECTLY TO ME STATING MY DISPUTE LOOKS SUSPICIOUS AND THEY DONT BELIEVE IT WAS FROM ME. 

HERE IS A DIRECT QUOTE TAKEN FROM THE LETTER WE RECEIVED A SUSPICOUS REQUEST IN THE MAIL REGRDING YOUR PERSONAL CREDIT REPORT AND DETERMINED THAT IT WAS NOT SENT BY YOU. SUSPICIOUS REQUESTS ARE REVIEWED BY EXPERIAN SECURITY PERSONNEL WHO WORK REGULARLY WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS AND REGULATORY AGENCIES TO IDENTIFY FRAUDULENT AND DECEPTIVE CORRESPONDENCE PURPORTING TO ORIGINATE FROM CONSUERS. 

IN A EFFORT TO SAFEGUARD YOUR PERSONAL CREDIT INFORMATION FROM FRAUD, WE WILL NOT BE INITIATING ANY DISPUTES BASED ON THE SUSPICIOUS CORRESPONDENCE. EXPERIAN WILL APPLY THIS SAME POLICY TO ANY FUTURE SUSPICIOUS REQUESTS THAT WE RECEIVE, BUT WE WILL NOT SEND ADDITIONAL NOTICES TO YOU THIS IS A STRANG ASSUMPTION BEING THAT ALL MY VERIFICATION DOCUUMENT WAS ATTACHED TO MY DISPUTE. THEN EXPERIAN GOES ON FURTHER AND STATES THEY WILL NOT INVESTIGATE ANY FURTHER DISPUTES FROM ME. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ATTEMPT BY EXPERIAN TO VIOLATE THEIR DUTIES TO DO A REASONABLE INVESTIGATION. SEEMS AS IF THEY WOULD PREFER ME TO CONTINUE WITH A CREDIT REPORT FILLED WITH INACCCURACIES INCLUDING MY ADDRESS. THIS ONLY SERVES EXPERIAN BOTTOM LINE AND PROFIT. 

LASTLY EXPERIAN IN THE LETTER RESPONSE IS DOING THEIR BEST TO FORCE ME TO DISPUTE ONLINE AND BY PHONE, OR DOCUMENT UPLOAD, WHICH BY THE WAY DOESNT UPLOAD. I HAVE A RIGHT TO DISPUTE BY MAIL AND ASK FOR A RE-INVESTIGATION OF ACCOUNTS THAT ARE IN-ACCURATE AND INCOMPLETE BUT EXPEIAN IS REFUSING ME THE CHANCE TO DO SO. ALL DISPUTES ARE WRITTEN, TYPED AND AUTHORED BY ME. EXPERIAN NEEDS TO STOP VIOLATING MY RIGHTS UNDER USC 1681i AND PROCEED WITH MY ORIGINAL DIPUTE THAT IS ENCLOSED I THIS COMPLAINT AND ALSO BEING REMAILED. THEY ARE STILL UNDER THE ORIGNAL XXXX CLOCK AND ONLY HAVE THE REMAINING DAYS TO COMPLETE. ATTACHED TO THIS COMPLAING IS A COPY OF THE LETTER FROM EXPERIAN STATING THAT THEY VIOLATED MY FCRA RIGTHS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. ALSO ATTACHED TO THIS COMPLAINT IS COPY OF ORIGINAL DISPUTE FOR EXPERIAN TO PROCEED SINCE THE CLOCK IS STILL RUNNING ON THE ORIGNAL 30 DAYS. EXPERIAN ALSO NEEDS TO STOP BLOCKING MY DISPUTES AND TO TAKE OFF THE FILTER ON MY ACCOUNT PROHIBITING ME FROM DISPUTING IN-ACCURATE AND INCOMPLETE ACCOUNTS

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I submitted disputes on XX/XX/XXXX with all three credit bureaus to correct the payment history for 13 student loans from the same provider on my credit report. Each loan showed late statuses as of XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, for a total of 39 late ( 90-120 days ) on all three credit reports. Each of these loans was in forbearance during these periods, so no payments were due. As part of my dispute I submitted documentation from the loan servicer ( on their letterhead ) showing the periods under which the loans were under forbearance. Upon speaking with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed that the dispute had been completed and the loan servicer denied the document was indeed theirs and refused to further discuss the status with the reporting agency. 

I asked the representative to explain how they validated the debt in accordance with my dispute and was advised that they had no documentation to support listing this item on my credit report or confirming the dates that show as late payments. The representative advised there was nothing they would do to validate the debt or the accuracy of the reporting. This is a violation of the FCRA as they have admitted to being unable to validate items on my credit report.
