Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: MOHELA (MN)

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding my private student loan account with MOHELA-XXXX. I believe I have been misled, and the company 's actions have caused significant harm to my financial situation and credit score. Currently, my account is overpaid and they reporting it as delinquent. 

Background : In XX/XX/2024, I contacted MOHELA to explore options for lowering the monthly payment of my private student loan. During a phone conversation, a MOHELA agent advised me that if I made a lump-sum payment of {$10000.00}, it would reduce my monthly payments to around {$200.00} {$300.00} over the next five years. 
On XX/XX/2024, I paid {$10000.00} based on the agent 's advice, expecting my monthly payments to be reduced to the agreed amount. However, following the payment, MOHELA-XXXX billed me for {$820.00} and then {$540.00}, which is significantly higher than what was promised. 
When I contacted MOHELA regarding this discrepancy, I was told that there were fine-print clauses in the contract that the agent had overlooked. I immediately disputed the billing and informed them that I would not make any further payments until the error was corrected. 

Issues : 1. Misrepresentation : The MOHELA agent clearly misrepresented the impact of my {$10000.00} payment on my monthly billing. I relied on this information in good faith, yet the company has failed to honor the agreement made during our phone conversation. 
2. Refusal to Correct Billing or Refund : Despite my repeated requests to either adjust my monthly billing to the agreed amount or return the {$10000.00} lump sum, MOHELA has refused to take corrective action. I am currently overpaid by {$10000.00}, yet MOHELA continues to bill me incorrectly. 
3. Credit Reporting and Financial Harm : MOHELA has also reported me to the credit bureaus as delinquent, despite my account being overpaid. As a result, my credit score has dropped from exceptional to poor within a matter of months, causing severe and unjustified damage to my financial standing.

These victims and survivors are being deprived of an equitable resolution under the Debt Bondage Repair Act and Experian is violating FCRA 605C by delaying the process of blocking information within 4 business days. Experian is also violating the requests of consumers who have authorized Agape Advocate Consulting as their point of contact and as their representative.

The Bureau is revising the text of the rule in 1022.142 ( b ) ( 6 ) ( ii ) to specifically provide that the documentation, which may consist of a statement prepared by the consumer, identifying adverse items of information may also be prepared by a designated representative on behalf of the consumer.

The Bureau notes this approach will reinforce the need for consumer reporting agencies to accept trafficking documentation, as required under 1022.142 ( d ) ( 1 ), from third parties identified as assisting with or acting on behalf of the consumer The Bureau also understands some consumers who are victims of trafficking may prefer to provide the physical or email address contact information of the consumer 's designated representative instead of the consumer 's contact information. Accordingly, consumer reporting agencies must use the preferred method of contact identified by consumer pursuant to 1022.142 ( b ) ( 6 ) ( ii ) for communications under 1022.142 ( d ) through ( f ) even if the preferred contact is the consumer 's designated representative and not the consumer.

Due to your violations, I will may take legal action and submit a complaint for small claims for default judgment, which allows up to {$1000.00} per violation. I am requesting an ALLEGED DEBT to be VALIDATED, pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) validation of debt section, 15 USC 1692g. I also demand a request for accounting of this alleged debt, pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, UCC Article 9-210. Therefore, I demand validation and verification of the alleged debt. Furthermore, it is imperative that you notify XXXX and XXXX to delete this information from my credit report immediately. The account in question is detailed and Unauthorized Accounts include the following : XXXX XXXX. 
Account # XXXX Closed Account. 

In addition, I am requesting for a copy of the 1099-C filed for the charged-off debt. XXXX XXXX must provide this to me, as the consumer, or you will be neglecting to comply with FEDERAL law. This leaves me no choice but to assume that you have neglected to comply with FEDERAL law by not filing a 1099-C as mandated. Consequently, I am compelled to inform you that I will report XXXX XXXX to the IRS for potential tax fraud using Form 3949-A if prompt action is not taken. As per IRS regulations, a canceled debt of {$600.00} or more necessitates the filing of a 1099-C form by federal or government agencies, or applicable financial entities. Failure to comply with this requirement constitutes tax fraud, a serious offense that I will not hesitate to report to the IRS. It is essential to understand that a canceled debt is considered ordinary income by the IRS. Consequently, any failure to file a 1099-C form, or any attempt to conceal such actions, constitutes inaccurate reporting. Income is not to be included on a credit report, and any such inclusion violates consumer laws and regulations. Your company 's actions are in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681s-2, which outlines the responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. Under this statute, it is prohibited to furnish inaccurate information knowingly or with reasonable cause to believe it is inaccurate. It is imperative that you take immediate steps to rectify this situation by deleting the inaccurate information from all consumer reporting agencies. Failure to comply will result in legal action being pursued, including holding XXXX XXXX accountable for willful noncompliance under 15 USC 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). This statute stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with FCRA requirements may be liable for damages sustained by the consumer. I urge you to act swiftly and cease reporting this item to avoid further complications. Kindly delete this off my report immediately.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.
