Complaint:
I closed on my home that was in foreclosure for several years. I have asked for a full financial statement showing where the closing numbers came from. The case was closed before I could get the information from the servicing company or the bank. I believe I am entitled to a 1098 From for the IRS so I can write off the taxes and interest paid. Please send the form... You have stated on the attached statement showing that interest and taxes accrued right up until the day of closing. 
I have filed a complaint with the office of the Comptroller of the Currency. They basically told me to report it with the CFPB, so I am right back to where I started. My original case # was XXXX I have paid lates fees, legal fees, maintenance, realtor fees, Insurance payments twice. I even sent a statement with a due date before the date of the letter ( proof of intent to make me fail ). I have a right to be able to write off the interest and taxes paid. You and the Trustee should be claiming the profit with the IRS as income.

Complaint:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an Experian XXXX XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

Complaint:
My credit score has dropped almost XXXX points over a XXXX month period. I am planning to purchase a car so the dealership checked my credit. Nothing bad about it but the credit score keepers decided my score needed to take a hit. I paid off my credit card and my score dropped XXXX points. These companies are ridiculous, corrupt and should not be allowed to constantly manipulate scores. They are also allowed to keep old information for years on record that keeps scores low. If you have no debt your score is decreased. 

My credit score is probably going to drop because I complain about them When is this corruption going to end?

Complaint:
While I'm not a legal expert, generally, if you have a payment arrangement with a credit collector, they typically shouldn't report negative information to credit bureaus. It's crucial to carefully review the terms of your arrangement. In my case with Jefferson Capital, they used my credit to retaliate against me due to a dispute I raised. The reporting of a one-dollar amount has resulted in a XXXX decrease in my credit score.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
Someone used my credit to add me as a co-signer for an apartment. When I called the company after finding the collection on my report, I was told I either need to provide a police report or pay it to have it removed. It was only {$170.00} and worth not dealing with everything else, so I paid it and it was removed. Now a year later it has been added back as paid status and they are refusing to take it back off. The reappearance dropped my score from over XXXX to XXXX. XXXX XXXX and rely on my credit for survival. Again, this was fraud and they did remove it as promised initially, but now have added it back 12 months later. They have been extremely rude and could care less about the damage to my life even though the debt was never mine. 
All Im asking is that they take 5 minutes and have it corrected so it is removed permanently.

Company: MOHELA
State: VA
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:
I was approved for the REPAYE plan for all of my student loans in XX/XX/2023. According to messaging from Mohela, my loans would automatically be re-calculated for the new SAVE plan. I ( along with many others ) was placed into Administrative Forbearance due to processing delays. During this time, my loans continued to accrue interest. I then received notification that I had a payment due in XXXX and was no longer in Forbearance. Only 7 of 17 federal loans were actually in the SAVE plan - and for no explained reason the rest of my loans were on the standard repayment plan. I had to call Mohela and request that they correctly calculate my payment and put all of my loans ( all of which were on the REPAYE plan ) on the SAVE plan. They told me that this processing would take 6-8 weeks, and I was placed back into Administrative Forbearance, and that this time would not be counted towards PSLF. 

To summarize, I am submitting this complaint because I am accruing thousands of dollars of interest because of Mohela 's incompetence and long processing times. If my loans were properly placed in the SAVE plan as they should have been, I would have an accurate monthly payment and would not be accumulating additional interest.

Complaint:
It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA XXXX and TransUnion are required by law to remove & block any account or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute item does not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove the file. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$1600.00} ; If XXXX and TransUnion feel there is a possibility the account belongs to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If XXXX and TransUnion do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.
