Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 at XXXX, I had received a text message which looked like an automated XXXX XXXX XXXX text message to inform me that there was a zelle transaction to " X '' for {$3500.00}. If I did not complete this transaction to text HELP. Which then I replied HELP, because it was not a transaction I completed. 

I was then called from the XXXX XXXX XXXX Fraud Department caller ID, which I had memorized. 

I was then asked to by the voice on the other end to check my zelle account which seemed to be linked to an unknown name. 

They had told me at this point, I needed to text myself the {$3500.00} to confirm my account. They also proceeded to tell me that a zelle fraud was also linked to my business account. 

I followed the instructions and zelle my own phone number {$3500.00} ( personal account ) and {$800.00} ( business account ). Which I thought was safe because it was my own number. 

They told me I would receive an email from XXXX with what to do next for precaution. I never received the email, nor my money back, so with worry that my bank account was now negative, I called XXXX. Then I was informed the call was the scam and because of this I would not see any of my money back. 

I did not send money to any I knew or did not know. I sent money to someone I trusted. Myself. However, XXXX still will not see this as fraud and therefore they have refused to help me see {$4200.00} or any bit of my money back.

Company: AFNI INC.
State: AL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed

Complaint:
I received my 1st letter ever from AFNI Collections on XX/XX/XXXX about an account I owed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX. In the letter they wanted to offer a settlement and stated I had 30 days to call them to dispute the balance or validate the debt and if I didn't respond it would be placed on my credit report. 
I immediately contacted AFNI Collections. I was told by the representative that it was an account from XX/XX/XXXX that was from a address of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, AL. I told them that I didn't owe XXXX XXXX XXXX anything and I can not even remember the account, but I do know XXXX XXXX XXXX was placed into Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy that was filed on XX/XX/XXXX and was not discharged until XX/XX/XXXX. I informed them that the home was put into Chapter XXXX and all debts for that address was placed into Chapter XXXX. The representative became aggressive and said they just received the account from XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. The representative took down my attorney name, XXXX XXXX who was my bankruptcy lawyer at the time, I gave them the information pertaining to my bankruptcy case in which XXXX  shouldve already had. There were violations that have now taken place by AFNI & XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was told by AFNI that they were returning the account back to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX but as of today I received an alert from all 3 credit  bureaus that AFNI has reported this XXXX XXXX XXXX account as a collections of {$1100.00} to my credit report and I just disputed it on XX/XX/XXXX after I received my 1st letter which is not even past 30 days. I called AFNI and complained and the representative tried to refer me back to XXXX XXXX XXXX, but they were the ones who reported it after the fact I informed them I was protected under the Bankruptcy Law. I then asked for a supervisor whose name was XXXX who asked me to email XXXX and to tell my situation. She stated she would request an investigation as to why this was reported to my credit report and it had not even been 30 days. She too confirme that this was the 1st letter that they had sent me, and she wanted to know if their notes show I filed bankruptcy and they were suppose to investigate as of XX/XX/XXXX then why nothing was halted to prevent such measures and why report occurred before 30 days. This should never happen to anyone and AFNI collection tactics are aggressive and they are not following the 30 day law nor bankruptcy law when it comes to collection accounts.

Company: MOHELA
State: WI
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 applied for the SAVE repayment plan on XX/XX/23. 

I received a notice from my servicer, MOHELA, dated XX/XX/23 stating that my recent request has been received and is expected to be processed within the next 90 business days. I assumed this related to my SAVE repayment plan request. 

I received a notice from MOHELA dated XX/XX/23 stating that MOHELA has placed an Administrative Forbearance on [ my ] account. I had not requested a forbearance and the notice provided no further explanation as to why my account was placed in forbearance. The notice stated that the forbearance would end on XX/XX/23. 

I received a notice from MOHELA dated XX/XX/23 stating that my Income Driven Repayment ( IDR ) plan request has been approved. The notice stated that my monthly payment would be {$430.00} and this plan would go into effect on XX/XX/23. The notice said nothing about my SAVE request being denied or rejected. 

As of XX/XX/23, I had not received any communication from MOHELA about my return to repayment. I decided to both send a message to MOHELA and call the customer service line. I waited on hold for about 1.5 hours. 

When I spoke to an agent, I was told the following : ( 1 ) My account was placed in administrative forbearance at the request of the Department of Education. The agent could not provide any further explanation about why the Department of Education made this request. ( 2 ) I was told that I would continue to receive credit for qualifying payments for PSLF purposes while my account was in forbearance. ( 3 ) I was told that MOHELA had rejected my SAVE repayment plan request. The agent could not explain why the request was rejected, when it was rejected, or why I never received notice that it was rejected. ( 4 ) I was told that MOHELA would re-submit my SAVE repayment application and that it should be processed in about a week. In total, I was on the phone for about 2.5 hours. 

I received a notice from MOHELA dated XX/XX/23 stating that my recent request has been received and is expected to be processed within the next 90 business days. I do not know what request this is referring to, but I assume it is the re-submitted SAVE repayment plan request. 

Finally, on XX/XX/23, I received a response to my XX/XX/23 message to MOHELA stating that MOHELA assumed my inquiry has been handled. 

At this time, I still do not know : ( 1 ) why my account was placed in forbearance ; ( 2 ) when I will have to resume payments ; ( 3 ) how much my payments will be; ( 4 ) why my SAVE repayment plan was rejected ; or ( 5 ) whether my SAVE repayment plan request has been resubmitted.

I would appreciate answers to these questions right away.
