Consumer complaint received 03/30/2016 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with MOHELA (NV).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint: I returned to college in XXXX. I attended XXXX XXXX XXXX part time on an XXXX while also working full time. I was married and had XXXX daughters. In XXXX, I had completed all the XXXX college had to offer and transferred to the University XXXX XXXX. I received XXXX to attend the university that covered my tuition. Student loans covered XXXX school tuition, books and living expenses. 

I graduated, XXXX, with a XXXX in XXXX XXXX. I was offered a job at the XXXX where I had done my XXXX that would begin in late XXXX. Then, on XXXX XXXX, XXXX Hurricane XXXX struck, with the eye passing directly over my home in XXXX. In a weekend, our lives changed drastically. I moved XXXX to live with my mother and got a job with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, XXXX. During the first three years of working, my student loan payments became erratic in the XXXX months because I was not always able to find temporary employment. During this time, I used up all my deferment and forbearance periods I was entitled to. By XXXX, I was fully employed throughout the entire year and was paying all loans regularly. In XXXX all of my loans were consolidated and the principal amount was approximately {$28000.00}. 
In the last 10 years I have tried to apply for several loan forgiveness programs but have never been eligible because of the dates of my loans. XXXX programs forgive loan balances after five years XXXX. I worked in XXXX my entire career. During my 22 years working XXXX and indirectly affected thousands more through my work XXXX Another loan forgiveness program is for public service employees. It forgives loan balances after paying on time for XXXX consecutive months. I have paid on time for XXXX consecutive months. When I recently inquired about loan forgiveness I was told I am not eligible for forgiveness because of the dates of my loans. I have already paid {$50000.00} for the {$20000.00} I borrowed. I do not understand why there can not be the same forgiveness for my loans as there is for those who do meet the date requirements. Aside from the dates, I meet all other eligibility requirements. 
The interest rate on my loans is 8 %. It is continuous compound so interest accumulates every day on the unpaid balance. 
I feel like I have been a responsible borrower, paying regularly every month. With the current situation I will pay these loans off in XXXX and will have spent approximately {$85000.00} to pay the loans back. Can you help me?

Consumer complaint received 04-01-2017 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: A charge-off was reported on my account with XXXX for a negative balance of ~ {$15.00}. The address the bank had on file was wrong, and so I did not know that I had a charge off until it was reported on my credit score. I then contacted the bank and paid off the negative balance. After paying off the balance, they agreed to have the charge-off removed ; however, there was no response from TransUnion. The collections department at the bank told me there was nothing left to do, but sent me the form they submitted to have the charge-off removed so I could remediate the issue myself. I submitted a complaint with TransUnion twice and received no response nor change to my credit report. The contact information I have on file with TransUnion is up to date -- there has simply been no response.

Consumer complaint received 02/13/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a letter to Experian after I noticed a bankruptcy being reported which was inaccurate. ( see attached ) Experian responded on XX/XX/XXXX saying that " the credit grantor has verified its accuracy. '' ( see attached ) The credit grantor is listed as : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX    XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX I wrote a letter to the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( see letter attached ) asking them to provide me the following information : " I am looking for information with regards to bankruptcy filings. Can you tell me what the process or method the court uses to " verify '' bankruptcy information with the credit reporting agencies such as Experian, XXXX and XXXX? How can these agencies claim they verified my information with the court and what information does the court share with the credit reporting agencies? '' The clerk of the court responded ( see letter attached ) that " the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX does not report information to or remove information from the credit bureaus. '' Therefore Experian is reporting INACCURATE INFORMATION ( 1 ) that the XXXX XXXX XXXX furnished and verified the information when the court clearly stated that they did not report this account to Experian! 

When I look at my credit report, it tells me the name of the furnisher of the information. That may be  a credit card company, auto lender, mortgage lender and sometimes collectors. Experian is saying that that courthouse or recorder, or whatever, is furnishing the information and the court is saying they DID NOT furnish the information. Experian is telling a bold-faced lie. 

I contacted 4 third party companies whom Experian claimed they get information from : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX and they advised me that ANY INFORMATION THEY HAVE ON ME HAS BEEN FROZEN WITH A SECURITY FREEZE, therefore they could not have reported any information to Experian. 

Please see a copy of the Experian credit reports attached for your reference.
