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.

Company: MOHELA
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
During the XXXX federal student loan payment pause under the CARES Act. On XX/XX/year> my XX/XX/XXXX student loan was improperly sent to a collections agency. Despite federal protections, I was contacted by collectors who pressured me to make payments. Out of fear, I liquidated my retirement account as well as my stocks account through my employer and paid off the loan balance under duress. The collections threatened that they had already began the process to garnish wages from my employer. 
I believe this was a violation of the CARES Act protections, which were supposed to pause payments, interest, and collections on federal student loans. I request an investigation into why my account was sent to collections during this period, and what remedies may be available given the financial harm I suffered. 
Supporting documents ( retirement withdrawal, collection notices, and payment records ) can be provided. My account number was XXXX for the collections agency was. The name of the collections agency was XXXX.
