Company: MOHELA
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I paid {$31000.00} towards my Direct Grad PLUS loan to Mohela online on XX/XX/year> and received a payment confirmation email. I saw the loan payment status as pending and processing on the official Mohela website and soon after the payment was taken from my bank account. However, the processing loan status completely disappeared and there is no history of me paying towards my loan documented on Mohela 's website, even though they had already taken the money from my account and their website states it should take 2-3 business days to post payments. The loan amount has not decreased on my balance and continues to accrue interest daily.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I am to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving user vulnerable to scams. The lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumers safety.
