Consumer complaint received 2023-09-25
Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA (AZ)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against the XXXX Higher Education Loan Authority ( Mohela ) regarding their refusal to disclose how my student loan payments are being calculated when they significantly exceed the estimated payments provided in my XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) application. This discrepancy has caused undue financial hardship and confusion. 

I entered into an XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) plan for my federal student loans to make my loan payments more affordable based on my income and family size. As part of the XXXX application process, I provided accurate information about my income, family size, and financial circumstances. The XXXX estimator provided by the U.S. Department of Education calculated an estimated monthly payment amount based on the information I provided, and I accepted this estimate as my expected monthly payment. 

The issue I am currently facing is that Mohela, the loan servicer responsible for managing my federal student loans, has m higher monthly payments than what was estimated in my XXXX application. This unexpected financial burden has created substantial financial hardship for me and my family, making it increasingly difficult to make ends meet. 

When I contacted Mohela on XX/XX/2023 to inquire about the calculation of my monthly payments and the discrepancies between the estimated and actual amounts, I was met with resistance and a refusal to provide a clear explanation. Despite attempts to obtain transparent and detailed information about how my payments are being calculated, Mohela has not provided any satisfactory responses. This lack of transparency has left me in the dark about the basis for my loan payments, making it impossible for me to effectively manage my finances and plan for the future. 

I believe that Mohela 's refusal to disclose the methodology behind my payment calculations is a violation of my rights as a borrower and may be in violation of federal regulations governing student loans and loan servicing.

I recently pulled a copy of my credit reports and found inquiries from Wells Fargo EFS. I reached out to the company on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, spoke with rep " XXXX '' but she did not provide any additional identifying information. She explained the inquiry was from a joint application for a student loan. I have never done a joint application and I do not need private student loans as I receive federal student loans. Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, all information reported to a credit bureau must have validated proof they belong to the reported account. This is usually done with a validated signature and a copy of a current photo ID. I do not believe Wells Fargo posses either of those documents and therefore the accounts can not be validated and must be removed from my credit report.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

The Fair Credit Reporting Act entitles me to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate. This law requires that all data included in a consumer 's file be documented and validated before it can go live for use by creditors, so I take this seriously! The allegations of delinquency and derogatoriness against me are false. I will fight back with all my strength! The accuracy of your credit report is crucial. The allegations you are reporting do not meet federal or state requirements for reporting, so they can not be confirmed. I challenge this claim because it lacks compliance by meeting some basic standards that would make me feel more confident in what's being said! You are required to maintain and report data with complete accuracy and compliance.You must not report any claims that you know should be in compliance with regulations. We need to make sure all of your claims are accurate and reported in the correct format. This is required by law ( FCRA ) as well as reporting standards METRO 2+, so please take care with this! However, I request evidence that shows why my accounts are considered to be in a negative state. The proof of a permissible purpose for the inquiry or account within my report must be included. This letter serves as notice that you are not doing your job properly. It is imperative for this issue to be resolved immediately or else there could potentially be serious consequences, so I'm giving 30 days from now ( the date of delivery ) in which time hopefully everything can become clear and correct itself with no need for intervention or escalation! I would like to receive physical proof of your actions and my updated credit report. If the listed claims are found to be inaccurate, please provide accurate and verified information for each claim, as the allegations are not true. If that is indeed the case, I will delete them immediately.

Dear Credit Reporting Agency, I recently discovered that I am a victim of identity theft. So I have written to request an EXTENDED FRAUD ALERT to be immediately placed in my credit file so that no new credit will be approved or issued until the lender first verified my identity due to these fraudlent accounts on my report. I have contacted experian and they do not seem to have the urgency to fix this situation as fast as they have reported it to me. 

I ask that you help me make them comply with the Federal Laws in place, and swiftly and permanently block the accounts, addresses, inquiries and other information that you are reporting listed on the Identity Theft Report List Of Fraudulent Accounts. I am also requesting to be mailed a new credit report to my address of record above. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
