Company: MOHELA
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX MOHELA forced to me to recertify my income for my student loans, and I switched from XXXX to the XXXX plan. Then XXXX released guidance that nobody shouldve been asked to recertify prior to fall of 2024, and that plans and payments should be reverted back for those who recertified. I was assured by multiple MOHELA reps that this would happen, and my account placed in administrative forbearance for months. Then the XXXX plan, which I shouldnt even be on, wound up in litigation and now the months of new forbearance Im on dont count towards XXXX. Im asking MOHELA to put me back on XXXX at my previous payment still but hours spent on the phone and many messages later it still has not happened. Please help.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Around XX/XX/XXXX my wallet was stolen/lost when I was at the mall. I did not know my wallet was gone. I know it was around this time because its the last time I used my physical debit card at the atm to deposit money. About a week later I received a fraud alert that my debit card was being used. I answered that it was unauthorized use and called to report it immediately. My debit card had been used to make a purchase at a gas station and at multiple atm machines. My PIN number had been written down because my account is fairly new. After I reported it my claim was denied and I was told because of my pin being written down it was ruled that I have authorization for these transactions. However, I did not authorize these transactions and have reported this to law enforcement. After my claim was denied I noticed the representative had failed to include one of the unauthorized charges in my claim which was the gas station charge, shed mistakenly only included the atm charges. So when I added this charge to my claim the bank refunded this transaction as unauthorized since my card had been stolen. I assume the difference was my PIN number wasnt used because it was only {$2.00}. However, this was the first unauthorized transaction after my wallet was stolen, And every physical card transaction after that were unauthorized. So if acknowledging my card was stolen and being fraudulently used by refunding the very first transaction then how can it be said that the transactions following that were authorized because they utilized the pin which was written down? It is clear the card was not in my possession and being fraudulently used, there for my claim should not be denied on the transactions that used my pin but granted on the transactions that didnt use my pin. Either way none of the transactions were me.
