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

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am submitting this complaint regarding an error on my MOHELA account and the failure to process an overpayment refund following my receipt of federal student loan forgiveness under the XXXX XXXX XXXX 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an award letter confirming Public Service Loan Forgiveness, titled " MOHELA and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, my two consolidated loansunsubsidized ( {$380000.00} ) and subsidized ( {$27000.00} ) were forgiven in full, including principal and interest, totaling {$410000.00}. This forgiveness is reflected in my MOHELA account records ( " MOHELA_Loan_Account History '' ) and the forgiveness letter referenced above. 

Despite this, I continued to make monthly payments of {$230.00} from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, totaling {$1600.00}. With accrued interest ( {$11.00} and {$59.00} ), my total overpayment came to {$1700.00}. According to MOHELAs correspondence dated XX/XX/XXXX ( " Mohela_correspondence_refund '' ), I was eligible for a refund of this amount and was asked to verify my address, which I did via phone on XX/XX/XXXX. 

However, I did not receive a refund. Instead, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a statement from MOHELA ( " Mohela_correspondence_new loan '' ) showing a new loan balance of {$5500.00}, despite my original loans having been fully forgiven. I have not taken out any new loans, as confirmed by my " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' document. 

I contacted MOHELA in XX/XX/XXXX and was told to place my account into administrative forbearance while the matter was investigated. In XXXX XXXX, MOHELA assigned XXXX # XXXX to my file. I have contacted MOHELA multiple times since XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX the error remains unresolved. 

As of my most recent statement ( " MOHELA_New Loan Details '' ), the erroneous loan is accruing interest. My current balance is {$5600.00}, consisting of {$5300.00} unpaid principal and {$320.00} unpaid interest.

I want to dispute these accounts because it was affecting my credit report, it was caused by Identity Theft. I did not make these charges. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. These accounts were taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, these accounts shouldn't be in my report. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.

Complaint narrative:
I have previously disputed Experian, Equifax and Transunion regarding multiple accounts that are inaccurate. As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non-compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports are badly hurting my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.

Complaint narrative:
Several companies have accessed my credit report without authorization, directly damaging both my credit and my credit score. I previously contacted your agency and was assured by a representative that these unauthorized inquiries would be removed. That promise has not been honored these inquiries remain to this day. This failure to act is unacceptable. 

The ongoing presence of these potentially fraudulent entries is deeply alarming and strongly indicates possible identity theft. This matter is inflicting serious and ongoing financial and emotional harm.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Complaint narrative:
I challenged several inaccurate and unverified items appearing on my credit reports with XXXX, Experian, and XXXX. These included a {$400.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX collection reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX, multiple late-payment notations on accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX  XXXX, as well as duplicate or merged account records that inflated my derogatory history. Despite my prior disputes, the credit bureaus re-reported these items without providing any documented verification such as original signed contracts, payment ledgers, chain-of-title documents, or proof of accurate Dates of First Delinquency. Several of the accounts show inconsistent reporting across bureaus, evidence of re-aging, or unexplained coded statuses. I also identified numerous hard inquiries between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX by banks, credit unions, and auto dealers that I did not authorize. I requested that the bureaus obtain signed applications or business records from each inquirer to prove permissible purpose under the FCRA, but no such proof has been provided. The continued reporting of these unverifiable accounts and inquiries, after repeated disputes, demonstrates the companies failure to conduct reasonable reinvestigations and maintain maximum possible accuracy as required by federal law.

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 4 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. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
