Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint because MOHELA owes me a refund of {$8900.00} that has been delayed for more than XXXX months despite repeated requests, escalations, and secure messages. 

My loans were forgiven in XX/XX/XXXX. Before forgiveness, I requested deferment in XX/XX/XXXX, but MOHELA failed to process it. As a result, I made overpayments in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  that should not have been due. These overpayments are the basis for the refund. 

MOHELA issued the refund on XX/XX/XXXX, but I never received the check. I called MOHELA numerous times between XXXX and XXXX, spending approximately XXXX hours on hold. I finally spoke to a representative on XX/XX/XXXX, and the call was escalated to a supervisor, but the call dropped and no one called me back. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I reached another representative who said they would submit a refund reissue, which would take 90 days. I was told the refund would arrive by XX/XX/XXXX, but nothing arrived. 

I sent multiple secure messages ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ). MOHELA either did not answer my questions, provided generic responses, or told me to call again, even though phone support had already failed. 


As of today, I have not received : The original refund check ; The reissued check ; Confirmation that either was mailed ; Confirmation that either was canceled ; Information about whether either was cashed ; Any supervisor contact ; Any timeline for resolution ; I am requesting that MOHELA be required to : Confirm whether the refund was mailed and to what address ; Confirm whether either check was cashed ; Cancel any outstanding check ; Issue the refund immediately ; Allow the refund to be issued via ACH/direct deposit ; This issue has been ongoing for more than XXXX months and has caused repeated financial and administrative burden. I am requesting the CFPBs assistance resolving this matter.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Complaint narrative:
am filing a complaint because Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing has refused to review or offer any hardship options despite my documented medical XXXX, loss of income, and active financial hardship.

Also my co buyer i purchased home with is sufferring from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and obviously because of the illness his income has drastically been reduced. and so he is unable to pay his share, but because he id XXXX he needs a home to live in, this is a nightmare, unexpected, and shellpoint needs to understand and help us. 

Shellpoint did not respond in writing to my hardship letter. When I called for an update, I was told verbally that my hardship request was denied because I have more than XXXX  % equity. This is not a valid reason to deny hardship assistance or forbearance under federal guidelines. Equity has no bearing on eligibility for : Temporary hardship forbearance Payment deferment Foreclosure hold Repayment plans Loss mitigation review I am requesting that Shellpoint : Pause any foreclosure activity Conduct a proper loss mitigation / hardship review Provide written explanation of any decision Offer any available options including forbearance, repayment plan, or deferment I am requesting CFPB intervention to ensure Shellpoint complies with federal loss mitigation and hardship review requirements. Their refusal to offer any temporary relief puts XXXX and XXXX ill homeowners and a XXXX XXXX XXXX  at immediate risk of homelessness XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Thank you.

Issue: Opening an account — Account opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
Good morning, On XX/XX/year>, I received email notification from Wells Fargo Bank asking me to fund a checking and savings account which I had no knowledge of opening. I contacted the bank and let them know this was identity theft/ fraudulent and asked them to close the accounts. 
On XX/XX/year>, I received an email notification from US Bank asking me to fund a checking and savings account with I had no knowledge of opening. I contacted the bank and let them know this was identity theft/ fraudulent and asked them to close the accounts. 
I have since hired XXXX to monitor my accounts.

I have contacted all XXXX  credit bureaus and have reported the identity theft/fraud.

The process with Wells Fargo was easy. 
The process with US Bank has been terribly irritating. They are requesting that I must print and sign their documents and return by mail. No XXXX available and I don't use a printer in this day and age. Very annoying, they will not close the fraudulent accounts until I return this antiquated paperwork to them!!! Terrible waste of my time since I was the victim!!!
