Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Need information about your loan balance or loan terms
Company: MOHELA (WA)

I called Mohela and inquired about why my student loan payment hadn't been adjusted to the new lower amount for the upcoming payment in XXXX. I'm currently under the new SAVE repayment plan for my student loans held by Mohela which is a student loan servicer. Under the new law that was going into effect, my monthly payment was now going to be calculated based off of 5 % of my discretionary income as opposed to 10 %. 

I spoke to a supervisor about why my payment hadn't been reduced nor had my account been placed in forbearance for a month as they were supposed to do if they weren't able to recalculate my new payment amount by XXXX. He was very helpful, but I spent over XXXX hours on the phone with the supervisor who tried to figure out why my payment amount hadn't been updated to the new lower payment. He explained that he couldn't find any reason why nothing had happened because I met all of the qualifications for it to be reduced. He also told me that according to their records, the payment amount was in-fact recalculated in XXXX. I explained to him it hadn't been done so because my upcoming scheduled payment was still the same amount ( {$210.00} ). He ultimately told me that he had exhausted his options on attempting to figure it out and that the department who deals with this doesn't have a phone number or a way to forward this issue for them to look into. He also said that there wasn't anyone else other than another colleague that could look into this. He said it wasn't likely that they would be able to resolve it, as they didn't have the ability to do anything about it either.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

Paraphrased Version : I have always maintained an impeccable payment record with the company, with all my payments set up on Autopay. This reported late payment is due to a system error on their part during payment processing.

This billing error by the company does not reflect my payment history and violates USC Code 1681eb. This mistake has severely impacted my reputation, character, lifestyle, and my family.

I insist that the late payment listed in the MONTHS REPORTING LATE be removed immediately.

The company is not complying with 15 USC 1666b, which outlines the standards for treating a payment as late. They incorrectly reported my payment as late without following the law. 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) specifies that a creditor can not consider a payment late unless reasonable procedures ensure that the periodic statement, with required information per section 1637 ( b ), is mailed or delivered to the consumer at least 21 days before the payment due date.

The company failed to send the periodic statement and disclosures as required by section 1637 ( b ). 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the due date in good faith under rule 1002, but it has never been provided.

This situation is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and unjust to me as a consumer.

I demand the removal of the late payments from my consumer reports.
