Company: MOHELA
State: MN
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
I submitted a PSLF form on XX/XX/XXXX to certify my employment. This form was processed on XX/XX/XXXX with no change to my qualified payment count, although I should have received XXXX payments added to my count. 

I submitted a new PSLF form on XX/XX/XXXX to certify my employment through XX/XX/XXXX and put me over the XXXX qualified payments needed for PSLF loan forgiveness. 

The form I submitted on XX/XX/XXXX was incorrectly marked as a duplicate and cancelled by Mohela. This issue happened to countless other borrowers per online forums. 

When I contacted Mohela via chat, I received no resolution. When I followed up via phone, I was told my form would go back in the queue and it would take an additional 30 business days.

I have a Bank of America credit card that earns cash rewards when I use it. I had enough rewards to pay my XXXX statement in full which was {$160.00} with the cash rewards earned.

Called B of A to have the fee removed and they said that was the fee to use cash rewards for statement balance. Ultimately after much arguing they agreed to waive fee THIS TIME. 
This whole fiasco made no sense to me at all. By the way I pay my bill in full every month. 
What I dont understand is why I would have to pay a fee for cash rewards that I earned using their card.

Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( which complies with FCRA Section 603 ( q ) ( 4 ) which states ( 4 ) The term " identity theft report '' has the meaning given that term by rule of the Bureau, and means, at a minimum, a report and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). 

( A ) that alleges an identity theft ; ) ( B ) that is a copy of an official, valid report filed by a consumer with an appropriate Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency, including the United States Postal Inspection Service, or such other government agency deemed appropriate by the Bureau ; and ( C ) the filing of which subjects the person filing the report to criminal penalties relating to the filing of false information if, in fact, the information in the report is false. ) The following report included this language but Experian is neglecting to process it to the letter of the law.

State: MD
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:
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on my credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the accounts listed in the attachments. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the accounts listed in attachments. 

I contacted the US Bankruptcy Courts of XXXX  Maryland and they stated that they do not send or communicate with any of the 3 CRA 's ever. XXXX So, you did not verify that account when you said you did. 

Despite my first written requests, the unverified items attached still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Complaint:
This is a notification to CFPB that I was NOT included in the Experian Fraud Shield Settlement despite the fact that the CRAs labeling of my address as High Risk or Fraudulent has caused me grief and numerous missed opportunities. 
The article I read about two months ago was the first time I learned that these practices were actually illegal. 
For me, simply opening up a no-maintenance-fee bank account was impossible. Therefore as a XXXX XXXX with a risky address, I pay {$12.00} per month for that privilege. 
Opening up a Business Account several years ago at a bank where I already have several immaculate accounts and an XXXX credit rating, proved to be a matter of criminal intent. The bank was offering a {$500.00} bonus to open the account, with no direct deposits required by the way. 
I lost, easily, over dozen opportunities because of these CRAs. Even an attempt to open a SAVINGS ACCOUNT at my Credit Card Company Failed!

I had communicated about this with CFPB. Someone with an XXXX credit rating and 45 years of credit reports probably should NOT be denied a simple bank account. It is frustrating and embarrassing. 
Finally before the Pandemic, I just permanently froze all of my reports and stopped applying for opportunities. Why have numerous denials and failures on my record? 
I emailed to the Experian Fraud Shield Settlement Administrators at Hill-Green v. Experian Information Solutions , Inc. , and they stated I was NOT included in the lawsuit. 
Compare the above to the scamsters able to practice $ XXXX PPP fraud, often as non-citizens and even prison inmate some from their home bases abroad. 
What exactly is the intent behind these practices?
