Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against the XXXX Higher Education Loan Authority ( Mohela ) regarding their refusal to disclose how my student loan payments are being calculated when they significantly exceed the estimated payments provided in my XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) application. This discrepancy has caused undue financial hardship and confusion. 

I entered into an XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) plan for my federal student loans to make my loan payments more affordable based on my income and family size. As part of the XXXX application process, I provided accurate information about my income, family size, and financial circumstances. The XXXX estimator provided by the U.S. Department of Education calculated an estimated monthly payment amount based on the information I provided, and I accepted this estimate as my expected monthly payment. 

The issue I am currently facing is that Mohela, the loan servicer responsible for managing my federal student loans, has m higher monthly payments than what was estimated in my XXXX application. This unexpected financial burden has created substantial financial hardship for me and my family, making it increasingly difficult to make ends meet. 

When I contacted Mohela on XX/XX/2023 to inquire about the calculation of my monthly payments and the discrepancies between the estimated and actual amounts, I was met with resistance and a refusal to provide a clear explanation. Despite attempts to obtain transparent and detailed information about how my payments are being calculated, Mohela has not provided any satisfactory responses. This lack of transparency has left me in the dark about the basis for my loan payments, making it impossible for me to effectively manage my finances and plan for the future. 

I believe that Mohela 's refusal to disclose the methodology behind my payment calculations is a violation of my rights as a borrower and may be in violation of federal regulations governing student loans and loan servicing.

Complaint narrative:
I requested my IRS Tax return fund to be direct deposited into my " Card.com '' account the funds were deposited into the account however after spending a few XXXX they locked my card for suspicious use. They asked for documents such as my SSN, State ID, and Tax Returns which I proceeded to send to the support team. The Company stated that they couldn't verify me and that they were spending a remaining balance check to the address on the account which is still my address they issued the check XX/XX/XXXX. They stated that it should take 21 business days. The 21st Business day was XX/XX/XXXX I still havent received said check. I called the company everyday monday through friday requesting them to reissue another check. Today is monday XX/XX/XXXX and the company still hasn't issued my check. The costumer support states that the bank is trying to verify however there shouldn't be anything else to verify when I already received my money from the IRS and I already sent them all my Important documents. This is unfair because even if you wanted to contact the bank you cant you only can go through customer service and when you take that option they give you vague answers about what's really going on

Complaint narrative:
I purchased two dining chairs from Ashley Furniture XXXX on XX/XX/, for a total cost of {$190.00} with the promise that Ashley would deliver the chairs. The chairs were not timely delivered so, before they were delivered, we cancelled the transaction and requested a refund. Ashley continually refused to issue the refund, but they did cancel the delivery of the chairs. Finally, we disputed the {$190.00} charge on our XXXX credit card and won that dispute. We received notice that the dispute was resolved in our favor on XX/XX/. On XX/XX/, I received a letter from Ashley informing me that my account was " overdue '' and that I must " [ a ] rrange payment of this account today to avoid further action. '' I wrote a letter to Ashley reminding them that we never received the chairs and had prevailed in our dispute. They apparently sent an email to my wife on XX/XX/, in which they claimed, for the first time, that their " records indicate that this amount [ {$190.00} ] reimbursed twice to you '' and that " {$190.00} is owed to us. '' I emailed the three Ashley associates listed on the email to my wife asking for verification that the amount was reimbursed to me twice and have not received a response or verification of that fact. Ashley is still threatening to report a false overdue debt to the credit bureaus without confirming the double reimbursement.
