Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: MOHELA
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Hi there, My name is XXXX XXXX, and I graduated from the University of Massachusetts Boston in XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I came to the United States in XXXX as an international student. During the XXXX pandemic, my family faced significant financial difficulties, which forced me to pause my academic studies for XXXX months. In order to continue my education and pay bills as an out-of-state student, I applied for a private student loan from XXXX XXXX. At that time, I had no option to apply for federal student loans. XXXX XXXX offered me a student loan program with a 13 % APR for XXXX academic years, totaling approximately {$100000.00}. 

I sought assistance from my university, but unfortunately, they were unable to provide support and referred me to private student loans with higher interest rates. However, in XXXX, I obtained my permanent resident card in the United States, making me eligible for in-state tuition, which is XXXX times less than the current loan debt I have. 

In XXXX XXXX, I refinanced my private student loan with XXXXMohela to lower the interest rate. I was able to reduce the APR from 13 % to 8.25 %. Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have been making monthly payments of {$880.00} over a XXXX period to repay my student loan. This has become a significant financial burden. Additionally, I got married in XX/XX/XXXX, and as the head of my family, I am supporting my wife, who is currently pursuing her PhD at XXXX. 

I am reaching out to request your help in finding a solution to reduce this financial strain. I am open to working with my current lender or exploring alternative options with you. If you need any additional documents or information, please let me know. Resolving this issue would not only improve my financial stability but also alleviate stress in my personal and family life. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have been a valued customer with Bank of America for the past 7 years. I have devoloped my credit history with them without missing single payment. Recent times, I have been hit by financial hardship due to my XXXX loans and other unexpected spending. And I had to get married by this time since it was an XXXX marraige. so my spending was so high and I took advantage of the 0 % APR and I used it to the MAX. The Bank closed my credti card accounts. Don't I even have 3 months time window to work on it? just because I missed two payments, how can they destroy my XXXX year relationship and how much effort I put in to build a credit. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I just got back to my job and about to start making income. It will be easy for me to payy off without any settlement or collection options. so I strongly belive what they did to me is unfair!! 

Also one of the reason, I couldn't able to make a payment for two month is because I was in XXXX for my wedding. As soon as i got back to US, I contacted my bank and explain what I was going through. And I told them that It will only take 6 months to pay off my balance and I could bring back my accounts to the current. Even with that being said and informed, they closed my account!!! 

This is not fair at all.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute certain accounts and inquiries listed on my consumer credit report, as referenced below, which are the result of a data breach or fraud. Additionally, I demand verifiable proof bearing my signature or electronic signature, as I never authorized these actions. These incidents constitute a violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically Section 605B [ 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ], which mandates the blocking of information resulting from fraud or a data breach, and Section 604 [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ], which outlines permissible purposes for accessing consumer reports. 

I have contacted the companies involved and confirmed that these actions were initiated without proper validation or original proof from the reporting entities. As I did not authorize these accounts or inquiries, they are inaccurate and should be removed. This constitutes a breach of my consumer information rights by creditors or third-party data furnishers. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.
