During these months, I was enrolled in coursework to complete my teacher licensure -- while making student loan payments. At the time, my loan provider was XXXX XXXX  XXXX. At this time, my current loan provider is MOHELA. I have explained the issue with MOHELA and the US Department of Education that I would like these six months to count towards loan forgiveness. Without my knowledge, my loans were placed in involuntary deferment. I have provided written correspondence to reverse the automatic deferment action. Due to bureaucracy, both entities fail to reverse the ineligible payments. I have even pleaded to pay back these months to count towards public loan service forgiveness -- -which they have failed to compromise with -- -stating that I do not have enough months to buy back.

It had dragged my credit down from a XXXX to now a staggering XXXX. It is effecting my life and I have had to have my mother co-sign to finance my vehicle after my lease. The whole point of my lease was to build my credit. Oh well. I have disputed with all XXXX and identitytheft.gov, and through some research I have found yall.

I thought okay maybe transunion is helping me then next month or so huge drop to XXXX. XXXX points. Then XXXX, now XXXX. This is just a nightmare of an experience.
