On XX/XX/XXXX I emailed Mohela about my account plan changing without my authorization or recertificaiton. They followed up with me and changed it but then I checked on XX/XX/XXXX and my payment plan was reset to level again instead of Income Contingent Repayment ( ICR ) plan. I emailed them again and I have not heard back. This is very frustrating that my playment plan keeps changing along with the payment amount and that impacts my public student loan forgiveness progress : Subject : Payments or Bills Attachments ( click to open ) : Sent Date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX AM Body : Your Question : Hello, My account says again that repayment is level when I should be on the Income-Contingent Repayment ( ICR ) Plan.
