Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: MOHELA (NC)

I am a recent XXXX XXXX graduate and my loans have been an issue since I graduated. I had applied for consolidation and income based repayment upon graduation. Some of my loans were consolidated, and sent to Mohela. With recent rulings over the XXXX plan I was illegible to apply for the XXXX plan, but per the Federal Student Aid website I should have been placed into an interest free forbearance period by my servicer, Mohela. I have attempted to contact Mohela no less than XXXX times via telephone and over XXXX times via customer service requests to have this matter resolved. I have spoken with XXXX individuals when my calls were eventually returned and they both shared conflicting information about my loans and no action has been made to put my loans in interest free forbearance. Due to this, I have accrued thousands of dollars in interest due to their neglect. It is unreasonable, as this loan servicer is decided for the borrower without their approval, and there has been a known track record with Mohela for treating their customers incorrectly. 

I initially had a payment due on XX/XX/year> for over {$400.00}. I contacted Mohela and they said this was not appropriate and I would be in forbearance. This would be an interest free forbearance per the XXXX website. This did not happen however. 

I have still not been placed in the appropriate forbearance and have accrued XXXX in interest. This needs to be resolved by Mohela.

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section XXXX ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than XXXX  days before the payment due date.

I am seeking professional assistance either from TransUnion or from Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as relating to a credit inquiry which I do not recognize and I assert I hadn't consented to. I filed a credit dispute by postal mail on two occasions, both times TransUnion failed to acknowledge my statement nor do anything about it with specificity. TransUnion sent me a reply by mail to indicate that a credit inquiry may be voided in circumstances as to opening an account fraudulently ( does not apply here ) or in circumstances where TransUnion receives a claim from the aggrieved person that the inquiry is not related to me. I have said several times that this inquiry does not relate to my giving consent nor of pursuing a loan from XXXX. Additionally documentary evidence is settled fact that I am aggrieved person because my personal information has been compromised due to data breaches which are out of my control. In XXXX I suffered from an attempt to compromise my person credit reporting information. In XXXX I suffered from two more attempts to compromise my person credit reporting information. I have no reason to contact XXXX directly because no actual account has been opened therefore this responsibility remains at TransUnion for them to act like a human being to acknowledge my statement I did not give consent to apply for XXXX loans. Thank you.

" 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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them
