Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Need information about your loan balance or loan terms
Company: MOHELA
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
My loans were transferred to Mohela months ago. I kept calling them monthly to obtain information and be able to view my loan information. They kept telling me they had wrong information and the person on the phone can see it is correct so they had to put it in the file to tell them that it is correct and to proceed forward. They informed me I had to wait 90 days again. I waited 90 days again and same thing again they had correct information but whoever was checking it said it was incorrect so send in more paperwork with updated information. I did so and they said now wait another 90 days for them to see the information indeed was correct. Now I have access to the online portal and the information still is incorrect. Every time I call they just tell me that to look in my account they look in it and they say everythings correct now you have to wait another 90 days for one of their employees to go back in to see their notes that it is indeed correct. Now that I personally can see it online something different/ new is wrong. Im not sure what to do even anymore. Ive tried to be proactive and Im trying to be proactive and patient waiting out the days that they tell me to wait but Im getting nowhere.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I hereby lodge a formal complaint against XXXX Bank and Portfolio Recovery for practices that I assert violate the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). My understanding, in accordance with the agreement I signed with XXXX Bank, was that all disputes pertaining to my account would be settled via arbitration. However, to my dismay and without my permission or involvement in any arbitration process, XXXX Bank assigned my loan to Portfolio Recovery, a collection agency. Their subsequent response confirmed my suspicions ; they no longer held the debt, which had been passed on to a collection agency. I contend that this act not only breaches our contract but also infringes my rights as a consumer. 

Upon discovering this issue, I promptly reached out to XXXX Bank, expressing my intention to resolve the debt directly with them. Yet, despite my eagerness to do so, XXXX Bank declined my request to pull back the debt, which, in my opinion, was sold in an unlawful manner. Moreover, during this transaction, XXXX Bank disclosed my personal information to Portfolio Recovery without my approval, an act I insist violates FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( F ), which mandates limits on the dissemination of consumer data absent a legitimate business necessity. 

Subsequent to this acquisition, Portfolio Recovery has subjected me to harassment, exerting pressure to collect the alleged debt. They have called my phone multiple times within work hours, even going as far as contacting my workplace directly. They went ahead and threatened to report the debt to credit agencies if I failed to comply. In order to halt further harassment and potential damage to my credit report, I reluctantly felt compelled to pay Portfolio Recovery. 

I firmly believe these actions contravene FDCPA Sections 806 ( 5 ), 805 ( a ) ( 1 ), and 807 ( 5 ), which respectively prohibit causing a telephone to ring or engaging in telephone conversation with the intent to harass ; communicating with a consumer regarding debt collection at their workplace ; and threatening to take an action that is either legally impossible or not intended to be pursued. 

In view of these issues, I call upon the CFPB to delve into these matters and enact suitable measures to protect my consumer rights. I further implore XXXX Bank to erase this account from my credit report immediately, as I am convinced it was sold and reported to the collection agency in error.

Company: TrueAccord Corp.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I'm submitting this complaint against XXXX and True Accord for practices that I believe infringe upon the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). As per my agreement with XXXX, all disputes concerning my account were to be settled through arbitration. However, without my consent or any arbitration proceedings, XXXX transferred my loan to a collection agency, True Accord. In their response, they confessed that they no longer own the debt ; it was now held by a collection agency. I argue that this act is a breach of contract and infringes upon my rights as a consumer. Upon becoming aware of this issue, I reached out to XXXX and expressed my readiness to repay the debt directly to them. Despite my readiness to settle the debt, XXXX declined to retrieve the debt, which I believe was transferred unlawfully. Moreover, in the process of this transaction, XXXX revealed my personal information to True Accord without my consent. I maintain this is a violation of FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( F ), which limits the distribution of consumer data without a legitimate business requirement. After acquiring my loan, True Accord has resorted to harassment to recover the purported debt. They have phoned me multiple times during my work hours and even reached out to my workplace directly. They also threatened to report the debt to credit bureaus if I didn't comply. To avoid further harassment and potential damage to my credit report, I felt compelled to pay True Accord. I posit that these actions contravene FDCPA Section 806 ( 5 ), which forbids causing a telephone to ring or engaging any person in telephone conversation repeatedly or incessantly with the intent to annoy, abuse, or harass any person at the dialed number ; FDCPA Section 805 ( a ) ( 1 ), which prohibits communication with a consumer concerning the collection of any debt at the consumer 's workplace ; and FDCPA Section 807 ( 5 ), which forbids the threat to carry out any action that can not legally be executed or that is not planned to be executed. In light of these concerns, I request the CFPB to probe into these issues and take suitable action to safeguard my consumer rights. I also urge that OppLoans expunge this account from my credit report immediately, as I believe it was unjustly sold and reported to the collection agency.
