Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't temporarily delay making payments
Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Summary of My Issue : I am submitting this complaint because MOHELA has violated multiple federal laws protecting borrowers with XXXX, and is refusing to process my legally required hardship deferment while threatening to damage my credit. 
From XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, I was on continuous, medically certified XXXX leave, extended four times by my treating physician. On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a complete hardship deferment request to MOHELA via certified mail and fax. My submission included : Medical documentation confirming my XXXX status Physician certification supporting my inability to work Proof that I was unemployed due to a documented work-related injury Evidence of my eligibility for protected status under XXXX and XXXX MOHELA had previously approved a deferment during this period, which confirms their awareness of their legal obligations. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, they mailed a form letter that ignored my supporting documentation and simply stated they could not falsely report to credit bureaus, with no explanation of why my deferment was not processed. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, MOHELA escalated by sending me a 30-Day Cascading Delinquency Notice, confirming their intention to report me delinquent to credit bureaus even though my documented hardship request remains pending. 
I consider this conduct to be : A direct violation of the Higher Education Act requiring good faith servicing of federal loans A violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act because they are threatening to report inaccurate and incomplete account information XXXX discrimination under the XXXX and the Rehabilitation Act because they are refusing a reasonable accommodation I am entitled to by law An unfair, deceptive, and abusive act in violation of CFPB regulations What Do You Think Is a Fair Resolution to Your Issue?

1. Immediate approval of a 180-day hardship deferment retroactive to XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. Written assurance that no negative credit reporting will occur while this matter is under review 3. Cessation of all collection activities until the deferment is resolved 4. Enforcement action to ensure MOHELA complies with all applicable laws and does not retaliate against XXXX borrowers

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, my XXXX account was hacked. The scammer completed 3 separate orders, and the payments went through to PayPal. The purchases were made on XX/XX/XXXX, late at night, AZ time and early XX/XX/year>, AZ time. 

! ) {$3600.00} 2 ) {$3600.00} 3 ) XXXX Totaling {$9500.00}. 

The fake sellers provided fake tracking numbers and immediately deleted their accounts. They denied my requests ( of course ) for a refund. I contacted XXXX, PayPal as well as all credit cards associated with both companies and locked everything down. Closed out all accounts, got new credit cards, etc. I reported everything to XXXX, who immediately noted that they locked my account due to suspicious activity and a suspicious IP address. However, since the sellers of these items had provided fake tracking numbers, XXXX paid them anyway. 

PayPal, as my bank, told me that XXXX is responsible for the refunds, and XXXX tells me that their required process is to go through my bank ( PayPal ) for a refund. HOW FUN!

Neither company will concede.

After countless phone calls and transfers and agents and departments, and XXXX claiming I am due a refund due to their buyer protection policy, all cases are closed in the scammer 's favor. 

I have written a letter to " The Office of the President '' at XXXX, and attached it to this complaint. PayPal would not provide me any comparable addressee for a similar letter. 

I am just a regular person, and I do not have {$9500.00} to spare. I am hoping that my complaint here will yield some help. Yes, I am an American citizen. 


Very sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX, AZ

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items.

I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: STATE BANKSHARES, INC.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment regarding the continued mismanagement of my escrow account. I purchased my home in 2022 with an expected monthly payment of approximately {$3600.00}. Since then, I have never consistently paid that amount instead, my mortgage payment has climbed well beyond what was initially agreed upon. 

This is now the third time in under three years that my escrow account has been underfunded due to your inaccurate planning, resulting in a dramatic increase to my monthly payment now jumping to approximately $ XXXX. This is unacceptable. 

To be clear, I am still paying monthly toward an escrow shortage from your last miscalculation, which only makes this new increase even more frustrating. Ive owned several homes and worked with multiple mortgage companies I have never encountered this level of repeated error and instability. This situation is not only financially burdensome, but it also severely undermines trust in your ability to manage my mortgage responsibly. 

I would like a full explanation of : - Why these shortages continue to occur year after year, - What steps your team is taking to ensure accurate escrow forecasting moving forward, - Any options available to prevent or mitigate this current increase, - Whether reanalysis or review of my escrow account can be requested given the circumstances. 

I expect a prompt and thorough response. As a customer, I deserve transparency, accountability, and far better service than what Ive experienced to date.

They responded with an insult to my intelligence and refused to reinvestigate, which is a blatant violation to my rights as a consumer, per FCRA, not to mention the fact that the CFPB has already sued TransUnion recently for sham investigations. They didn't even investigate the first time!
