Complaint narrative:
My rights are being violated! Consumer law states by validating the account below without sending the necessary proof that its my account and that you have a right to collect on this account, this is a VIOLATION!

As I have stated before, Im keeping track of every letter that I send your company, the credit bureaus and all responses. The previous letter attached the collection agency ADMITS to not being able to verify accuracy. It has been over 30 days, which is ample time to provide evidence based of consumer law. Delete this account immediately from my credit report.

If there is no deletion within 10 days, I will be filing complaints with the XXXX, the Attorney Generals Office and seeking legal advice to explore my options.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I already submitted one complaint : " I've had multiple problems with Mohela as a loan service provider. They are transitioning direct federal loans to a new online platform. During this process they cut off access to my online account so that I couldn't make payments. Additionally, auto payment stopped working so my account was put into late payment but I was unable to make a payment. I had to call their customer service number to find out that I had to make a new account on their new website ( mohela.studentaid.gov ). They never communicated this to me or even told me what the new website was prior to me calling. Since then I've tried to set up autopayment multiple times. It has never worked. It has missed multiple payments without notifying me until the payment is late. This has happened three times now. I've tried calling them about this to see what the problem is only to be told that it was being blocked by my bank ( it wasn't, I checked ) or that something " hadn't been transitioned correctly '' and I'd need to re-enroll in autopayment. This is now the third time I've re-enrolled in their autopayment system which has not worked at all for the last 8 months. Additionally they over credited my account for an extra payment I never made. I tried to get them to correct this and at first they said it must have been a double payment due to autopayment! This was immediately after telling me that autopayment isn't working for some unknown reason and I'd need to re-enroll. Completely absurd. This company is absolutely ridiculous. Completely incompetent at best. But I guess I'm a captive consumer since I have no choice about who administers these loans without reconsilicating and paying a higher interest rate. They have no incentive to XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX so why would they? '' Their website now says I'm enrolled for auto payment ( we will see if this actually works or not, I don't have high hopes ) However, they still have not fixed the issue with the over credit on my online account. I already talked to them on the phone about this ( where they admitted that it was a mistake and could see the correct amount on their backend ). This is now causing additional problems since they have lowered my monthly payment due to the incorrect overpayment amount. This will be a problem if the auto-payment starts working since it will under pay the loans. This is beyond completely ridiculous. I've never seen this level of blatant incompetence.
