Product: Debt collection — Federal student loan debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Machol & Johannes, LLC

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2020 I was notified of a wage garnishment for a Federal Student Loan. Fast forward to XX/XX/2020 and I finally pay off the debt. Then my paycheck gets hits for another {$420.00}, I call and find out the collection agency closed my account and submitted my file as closed and paid off but they never bothered to send a letter of debts paid to my employer. I call almost every day and am constantly told it's in progress. My next payday ( two weeks later ) comes and I'm garnished ANOTHER {$420.00}. Still, in progress, I'm fuming mad but every rep I talk to assures me that they will send me a refund on any overpayment and I have no worries just to be patient. Two more weeks go by and it's 1 day before payday and I am finally told by my employer that they got a letter and they will now stop the garnishments. A month goes by and I never see a refund check. I call and I am told that my refund check for close to {$850.00} was not sent to me it was forwarded to a " Client ''. The reps I talk to say they can not tell me why I didn't get the check that I had to talk to an attorney. The attorney at the agency will not contact me, I have filed a XXXX complaint but have not heard back. Their " Client '' is XXXX and from XXXX reviews is another debt collection agency that people like me will never get a hold of. Their phone lines tell you to leave a message they " are not accepting calls due to the state of the nation. '' They have no contact information. This firm drug their feet to stop my garnishment, took my money for the debt I had already paid and will not return it

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Benuck & Rainey, Inc.

Complaint:
I received correspondence from Benuck & Rainey on XXXX/XXXX/2015 for an outstanding debt of {$130.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. At the time of the services my mom 's insurance paid for all services ; however, the company claimed that I owed {$120.00}, see enclosed. This company has been harassing mean while I am in school and keeps threatening me if I do n't pay this debt. I am only XXXX XXXX XXXX and I do n't know what to do, so they told me to pay them {$130.00} or else I would have bad credit and would not be able to get student loans for college. I was forced to pay them from my summer 's savings as I was afraid that this matter would jeopardize me starting my next semester of college which would start in just a few weeks. 

No sooner that I had paid this bill, I received another bill from them, this time for {$410.00}. ( see attached ). I was again very surprised and started crying because I do n't know what to do. When I went back to look at my past statements from XXXX XXXX, it showed that I owed only {$94.00}, but again, my mom 's insurance pays for everything. 

I keep receiving phone calls from this company everyday, even when I am in class or out on the field practicing demanding that I pay this {$410.00} that I do n't owe. Despite asking them for proof that I owe them this money, they continue to harass me, they 've even called my other while she is at work, even though I never gave them permission to call her.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA

Complaint:
I have been working with FedLoans ( PHEAA ) to get several monthly payments counted as qualifying payments towards PSLF for several years. 

Issue 1 : In XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, my monthly payment due was $ XXXX/month. During XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, my loans were transferred from XXXX XXXX to FedLoans, and I was placed in an administrative forbearance without my consent. Despite being in an administrative forbearance, I continued to pay my monthly {$0.00} per month even though no bill was generated. Therefore, I have been trying to get those two months counted as qualifying payments towards PSLF for over seven years. 

I have contacted FedLoans about this issue with no resolution. I then contacted the FedLoans Ombudsman after hearing nothing. I still have heard nothing. 

Issue 2 : In XX/XX/XXXX, I requested that my then-current loan servicer, XXXX XXXX, apply a loan interest reduction under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act ( SCRA ) since I was serving on XXXX XXXX in the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX In that letter, I specifically stated that I did not want to enter into a military forbearance. However, XXXX XXXX placed me into a military forbearance against my wishes. This caused my loans to be in a military forbearance from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. ( More info below ). 

In XX/XX/XXXX, my loans were transferred to XXXX XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I worked with XXXX XXXX to correct its mistake. XXXX XXXX requested that the Military Forbearance be removed from my account and that the $ XXXX/month ICR payments be counted toward PSLF. 

Finally, in XX/XX/XXXX, FedLoans removed the military forbearance for the period of XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. As a result, my qualifying payments were recalculated to include XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX to count toward PSLF. However, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX were not counted as qualifying payments even though those were still {$0.00} ICR payments. I made several inquiries about why those three months were not counted, and I have never received an update. 

I have contacted FedLoans about this issue with no resolution. I supplied copies of the paper work from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX in that complaint. I then contacted the FedLoans Ombudsman after hearing nothing. I still have heard nothing.

Company: Makes Cents, Inc. dba Advance.Cash

Complaint:
I took out a payday loan with Advance cash during the Covid pandemic. I could not continue to pay it off with the high interest and high payments. The interest they charge is far above allowable usury so I am not sure how this even happens? How do I know after making payments for as long as I did is the balance higher than the original loan amount? Advance Cash sold this debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX. These people have called me, my mother and my sister and threatened to come arrest me at work. They have sent several messages about pending legal action, warrants, and asking my address to come arrest me. They have also sent several emails saying there was a warrant out for me and even used a lawfirm paper head saying i had an active case. I called the lawfirm and learned that was a lie and that these people were representing themselves using the name of a big law firm to intimidate me. Now I see that XXXX XXXX XXXX has reported this on my credit report. When will this harassment end? This cant be Ok!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Nelnet, Inc.

Complaint:
This is directed at XXXX XXXX, Senior Resolution Specialist for Nelnet Student Loan Servicer. This complaint is in reference to the Fair Credit Reporting Act on what was reported to XXXX which was actually reported but the reported amount was {$47.00} not the {$50.00} I paid on XX/XX/18. Please go to my history that shows how much was paid. Now as to XXXX  and XXXX after all my phone calls because you wouldn't believe that your company didn't report my payment to these credit bureaus. As of XX/XX/18 XXXX and XXXX  were finally able to verify to me that Nelnet finally fixed my issue. But now there's another problem. On all three of my credit bureau reports, one of your employees reported I paid {$47.00} not the {$50.00}. Where's my {$3.00} and why would an employee report {$47.00} and not the {$50.00} I paid? Did Nelnet think I would't find out? Now I have to wonder about the accuracy of your  Website on the Principal and Interest. Now I have to contact the Department of Education for a third time because of the incompetence of your company. On my account, it is still showing that payments are being processed that went through my checking account days ago. The two separate payments that I made on the morning of XX/XX/18 are not showing up under the payment history. These payments were made way before your cut off time.I want this taken care of immediately {$50.00} reported to all three credit bureaus. I can't wait till Nelnet reports my payments in XX/XX/2018, it ought to be interesting. You as a loan servicer, especially for the Department of Education, should have people competent enough to input the right amount somebody has paid on their student loan for the month. Your screwing with my credit reports and I won't put up with it. Because of Nelnet 's constant mistakes and a Senior Resolution Specialist won't believe what your telling him and won't even check into the issue, I have had to put the credit bureaus into my contacts on my phone and the Department of Education because of Nelnet. You as a Senior Resolution Specialist did not do your job. I don't care if you are upset with me or don't like what I've said about Nelnet because it's true. It's not my problem, it's yours! On Monday XX/XX/18, I will be checking with all the credit bureaus to make sure the amount has changed. The scary thing is that this probably happens everyday to people who pay their loans. I'm sure we'll have further written communication in the future.

Over the course of 3 years ranging from when I was XXXX - XXXX years old, I had multiple visits to a Medical Office where I was seen.
