I had a mobile number with XXXX XXXX for several years but rarely used it. Early this year I tried to close it by doing each of the following ( sometimes multiple times ). Visit to store, call customer service, chat sessions with customer service. This account had never been in arrears and has been unused for most of XXXX. Not only has the account remained open, twice now, after my requests to close, it I get emails saying it has been reopened. 

Furthermore, they have continued to accrue charges and have now turned that over to collection agency. My credit rating is well over XXXX and I do not want this to impact that. Ironically, my last request was in written/ mailed format. The response I got was another collection notice and a " congratulations, we restored your line '' email. 

It almost seems that the policy at XXXX XXXX is similar to the cases where a company intentionally makes it difficult or impossible to discontinue service. 

Thank you!

Company: MOHELA (OR)

Ive submitted an application for an income based repayment plan ( SAVE ) on XX/XX/XXXX. Prior to this I was on REPAYE. Since submitting my application, my account was put in administrative forbearance and interest is accumulating - Ive called numerous times to see about the status of my IDR application ( just says in process on my end ) and most recently XX/XX/XXXX was told it was processed but waiting to get pushed through. I was told all applications through the end of XX/XX/XXXX had been processed. Its been over 2 weeks since then, and I have not been able to get more updated information about the status. My loans will exit forbearance on XXXX ( I was told to my previous payment plan ) however the site states I will enter the standard repayment plan ( XXXX XXXXXXXX ) even though I was previously on ( REPAYE ) but I have not been able to get and answer as to why this switched to standard. 

Ultimately Ive been told for over 2 weeks my application for PAYE IDR has been processed, but it has still not been updated on my end and I continue to accumulate interest ( which would not be the case with PAYE ) and remain in administrative forbearance. No one seems to be able to find anyone who can speak to my administrative limbo situation, and when trying to get more senior customer service representatives Im told there are none available. In 3 weeks I will be defaulted to a high standard monthly payment ( which is also an error as I was not on this plan previously )- Im so incredibly frustrated that I can not get any of these things resolved.

I borrowed {$500.00} and I paid it back. I thought that was the end of it until months later I started getting harassed that I never paid off my loan to them. Of course I was still receiving letters in the mail asking me to come back and borrow again but I never did. I try never to use these companies because of the ways that they try to trick you into borrowing money you dont need, but I had an emergency come up and I live on a very low income. 
Now, I just received a email stating I owe them over {$4000.00}, dollars! For what? This is getting ridiculous and I have been on the phone with these people asking them to stop harassing me and they wont. I might go XXXX months without hearing from them and then out of the blue they send another email or letter. They wont even tell me when I borrowed that amount and what I put down it was for. Its because I didnt borrow anymore money from them ever again. 
Can you please help me get these people to stop harassing me? 
Thank you for your help.

The existence of a derogatory rating on my account is causing me significant concern. I am deeply worried about its potential impact on my credit. It has already resulted in the denial of a recent loan application and an increase in the interest rates on my existing credit accounts.
