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

Complaint narrative:
My student loan was placed in a forbearance without me asking for this to occur. This has happened while I am in the process of trying to apply for a home loan. As such, my credit rating has been negatively impacted, which will probably cost me thousands of dollars over the course of the loan due to having to accept a higher interest rate. 

On XX/XX/23, I called and asked the company ( Mohela ) about this and was put on a series of holds for over two hours, which resulted in no resolution. The representative did acknowledge that the forbearance was not requested. I was subsequently placed on hold again as she consulted her supervisor and then left me on hold for an additional hour before I hung up.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I sent information to dispute an amount owed to the collectors. I then disputed with the credit bureau. I received an alert that my credit score dropped XXXX XXXX after speaking with the collections company. I called and was told it was due to {$9.00} interest they reported which caused an increase in balance. This has never happened prior to this dispute with the credit bureau. The collection company on a recorded line stated this is because I disputed with the credit bureau and that because I did so, it prolongs my dispute and puts me in the back of the line, they then hung up the phone in my face. It is my right to dispute with them and the bureau. This is unfair and abusive practices under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. '' I am being punished for escalating the the issue. The FTC indicates that a furnisher is required to investigate any dispute forwarded to it by a credit reporting company and cant avoid that obligation by claiming a dispute is frivolous.i am being treated unfairly. Even minor inaccuracies on a credit report can lead to a consumer being denied a loan, housing, or a job. As a result, it is critical that consumers have a meaningful opportunity to correct errors or inaccuracies when they are identified.

Complaint narrative:
I have received your computer-generated 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. 
On XX/XX/2023, I wrote to the below creditors requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, inaccurate, and falsely reported. 

Your credit reporting agency has been reporting inaccurate and incomplete account information to my credit file. I am distressed that these referenced inaccurate accounts are on my credit profile. Your reporting agency has failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit information they report and may be liable under 15 U.S.C. 1692g validation of debt.
