Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA (NY)

Hello, Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have been asking MOHELA to provide a reason as to why my payments from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ( total of XXXX  payments ) have not been reflected in my Public Student Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) payment tracker. I have been receiving generic responses every time I reach out. 

Please see emails # XXXX sent on XX/XX/XXXX, email # XXXX sent XX/XX/XXXX, and email # XXXX sent on XX/XX/XXXX to Mohela. Mohela has not only failed to provide a reason but they have not even provided an update besides their general generic response that they are still working on this. I have not received any correspondence from Mohela regarding this issue from my last email to them, XX/XX/XXXX. They did, however, sent a billing statement on XX/XX/XXXX for my payments to resume on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$260.00}. I, of course made this payment as I have always made my payments I will reach out to Mohela again TODAY and hope to receive a response along with your coordinated effort to resolve this OVERDUE matter. I can not help but notice that there is an intention to delay counting my payments and that is this is a big oversight from their end AS MY PAYMENTS from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ARE COUNTED as well as XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX payments ARE COUNTED. My payments are totaling XXXX right now, when they should be XXXX payments.
