Company: MOHELA
State: SC
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
Im in the process of getting my student loans forgiven ( PSLF ) through Mohela. During this process I noticed a five-year gap XXXX. When I inquired about this to Mohela reps I was told that since I filed for bankruptcy in XXXX, those payments would not count toward forgiveness even though I continued to make payments during that five-year period. At the time of the bankruptcy filing, I was told that student loans could not be included and that I was still required to make regular payments which I did. It seems that the Department of Education automatically coded my student loans as XXXX and did not notify me that they had done so. All of the payments that I made ( around 60 months ) just disappeared when it comes to the Department of Educations loan forgiveness program.

Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: WA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023 I received a text message from my mobile banking ( Regions Banking ) that a series of transactions had occurred on my checking account eventually amounting to a total of {$5300.00}. Some of these transactions took place near my home and XXXX other transactions took place in XXXX, WA which is XXXX minutes away from XXXX where I live. I then filed a claim with my bank stating that I had never received the debit card which was used to make these transactions. I have recently learned that my fraud claims have been denied by my bank. They did not even have the decency to email me saying that the claims had been denied, I had to call them multiple times. They denied my fraudulent claims because they said the transactions took place near where I live and typically use my debit card. That is crazy to me, as I have never shopped in any of those stores where the transactions took place nor have I used an ATM in XXXX before! I also never travelled to XXXX, WA the night of XX/XX/2023 where someone spent a total of {$3000.00}. Regions Bank also said that the card was delivered to my apartment, but I never received the card and never activated it myself. The bank says that someone would need personal information to activate the card, but again I never received the debit card and never purposely or willingly gave away personal information.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
1. A am a victim of Identity Theft and have filed a report with the FTC. 
2. My Name, SS #, and Date of Birth were stolen, and the thief was allowed to add a fraud XXXX email account, add another phone # and address to my TransUnion Credit Report, and were able to obtain a Credit Card in my name mailed to the address they added to my Credit Report. 
3. I called XXXX today after checking my report to make sure corrections were made and I do have a 7 year free credit report alert monitoring - which I confirmed - I have a " Pin # '' which I would need to use if I needed to get information - or unfreeze - my credit report - XXXX   did not ask me for this information - which I thought was concerning - since this is supposed to protect me. 
4. I have opted out from receiving any direct mail from banking agencies etc. as well as other direct mail over a year ago. 
5. Although I am not receiving those, Companies are STILL ALLOWED TO MAKE " soft inquiries '' and get my CREDIT REPORT.

6. XXXX will NOT stop " soft inquiries '' without me sending more " personal '' information - including - Driver 's License, Bank or other type Date of Birth, etc. in writing - I do not feel I should have to mail them MORE personal information. 
7. I do not want anyone checking my credit report for any reason without my permission.

8. I don't think any of the requests should be allowed or honored - this is an invasion to my privacy which has already been compromised. 
9. TransUnion and XXXX indicated that existing creditors are allowed because of the CRA Credit Reporting Act can continuously look at my report - EVEN if I am never late and have a great credit score. 
10. XXXX  said I can OPTOUT of these inquirie in # 9 - by furnishing in writing the more intense " personal data ''. 
11. SO THERE IS CONFLICTING INFORMATION GIVEN TO ME - IF THE CRA IS ALLOWING THIS - IT SHOULD BE STOPPED - AT LEAST FOR THOSE OF US THAT CONTINUE TO HAVE GOOD CREDIT.
