Company: MOHELA
State: NJ
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:
As of XXXX, my employment with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was certified as eligible employment for PSLF by FSA and documentation was given to me by XXXX, which I have attached below. 

Now that I have been switched to MOHELA, the servicer has informed me my job was not recertified ( XXXX XXXX unfortunately closed, and I imagine that is causing the confusion ), and that I have no recourse to prove that it was certified prior. If they refuse to assist me, or approve the recertification of my employment, then I will lose five years of my payments under PSLF. 

My job was XXXX  was also for a XXXX, which they denied. I have uploaded XXXX letters stating they are a XXXX and they simply marked the document as a " Duplicate. '' The letter was from a completely different diocese for a different employer. 

I have uploaded the completed and signed PSLF form to MOHELA several times, I have uploaded tax letters solidifying both XXXX XXXX XXXX  status, and MOHELA still states my job is not recertified when it had been prior. 

Every time I call them, they make me wait at least an hour and then provide little to no assistance in the matter. They refuse to tell me who I should contact to ensure my job is recertified as it was prior. 
It is obvious they will do anything to ensure I am denied PSLF and that my loans are forgiven as stated according to stipulations of the PSLF program. 

I have uploaded the XXXX tax exempt letters to my complaint.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
This account fell into default due to the covid-19 pandemic. As part of the relief I had requested a loan modification. The loan modification was granted pending three trial payments. As part of this agreement no late action penalties would be taken against my account, including late reporting or foreclosures, or late fees etc. The payments were set to begin XX/XX/XXXX for three months, at which point my mortgage would be refinanced into a forty year note at reduced payments. XXXX informed me via telephone that I would have a grace period for these payments, and that as long as I made them in the month it would be valid. My payday was XX/XX/XXXX and I made the payment the same day. It posted, and cleared, and is attached. On XX/XX/XXXX I was reported as 167 days late ( from XXXX ) causing a massive crush in my credit score and potentially jeopardizing the agreement. I want to emphasize in absolutely no uncertain terms that XXXX told me that even though the paper said XX/XX/XXXX was the deadline, that if I made it on XX/XX/XXXX it would not be an issue. Payment receipts attached.

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:
This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They furnished this account that we didn't agree upon, and I didn't sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties, and I did not participate in any of it. More so they didn't follow the proper 5 step validation procedure which make these unfair practices. The balance on my credit report is not the same balance I have with the original creditor. Furthermore, I was never sent correspondence notifying me that this account was sold to SPRINGOAKCAP which is another violation. I received nothing in the mail leading up to this collection being reported. This account was added in XX/XX/XXXX. I am requesting a copy of the correspondence mailed to me during that time informing me that I had a debt with your company. If you can not provide this, then this is another violation. Lastly, you are reporting that the date last active was XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  which is untrue. According to the FDCPA Im entitled to XXXX dollars per violation. I demand this company to delete this account from all 3 credit reporting agencies or I will have no choice but to forward this to my litigation attorney. I will attach the dispute letter that was sent 6 months ago which is dated and time stamped.
