Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

Company: MOHELA
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
When I received an email stating that I was going to have student loans canceled due to misinformation given by XXXX  XXXX XXXX, I was ecstatic because I'm having issues repaying it. However, I was told by a XXXX  representative that only my federal loans would be forgiven, not my private loan unless I consolidated. So, I consolidated, however, the Navient representative gave me false information. I followed up on this with an email to studentaid on XX/XX/year>. 

Consolidation does not included bundling both federal and private loans together AND private loans are NOT eligible for forgiveness. Now I've lost all of my loan rights for consolidating them and are still required to pay for the private loans although my federal loans for this institution were forgiven due to negligence. Since consolidation, my loans are now serviced by Mohela.
