Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA (ND)

As per studentaid.gov, federal student loan accounts with anniversary dates preceding XX/XX/XXXX, were supposed to be extended by a full year. Despite my attempts to convey this during calls to Mohela on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, and the assurance of escalation, my IDR anniversary date remains unchanged. The guidelines can be found below, under " Income Driven Repayment '' : https : //studentaid.gov/announcements-events/covid-19 I urge Mohela to promptly rectify this issue by adjusting my IDR anniversary date to align with the provided relief measures. The recent switch to a standard repayment plan with a monthly payment of {$2300.00} is not in accordance with the directed guidelines and needs immediate resolution. While their reps have been congenial, my attempts at resolution with them directly are futile.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/year> SS # : XXXX Subject : DISPUTE OF LATE PAYMENT INFORMATION To Whom It XXXX Concern, I am writing this letter to formally complain that my previous request has been ignored and that you have failed to uphold reasonable procedures in your operations to ensure the highest level of accuracy in the credit reports you publish.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against First Progress regarding their unauthorized sharing of my nonpublic personal information with non-affiliated third parties and consumer reporting agencies. I have taken the appropriate steps to exercise my rights under 15 USC 6802 of the Gramm-Leach- Bliley Act ( GLBA ) to opt out of such information sharing and I believe my privacy rights have been violated. 

On XX/XX/year> I notified First Progress that I am opting out of any and all authorizations, written, non-written verbal or non-verbal for the sharing of my nonpublic personal information with non-affiliated XXXX parties, including consumer reporting agencies for any purpose other than those necessary to provide me with financial products of services.

I provided this opt out notice in accordance with the legal requirements outlined in 15 USC 6802, and I have retained documentation of my communication with First Progress.

Despite my efforts to request an opt out and me asserting my rights under GLBA, I have reason to believe that First Progress has continued to furnish my non public personal information to nonaffiliated 3rd parties and consumer reporting agencies without my consent.

The unauthorized use of my personal information constitutes a violation of my privacy rights and breach of federal law. I am concerned about the potential consequences of this unathorized sharing, including the potential for identity theft, fraud, and other financial harm.

I would appreciate it if the CFPB can investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action to ensure that First Progress complies with all federal regulations and laws, including the GLBA to protect privacy and security of consumers like me.

I would also appreciate updates on the progress of this investigation and actions taken to address the violations committed by First Progress. 

Please feel free to contact me at XXXX or email me at XXXX if you require any further information or documents to proceed with the investigation.
