Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This is my 2nd complaint... the issue has still not been resolved since I filed the first complaint. I keep getting told it is being worked on and will be updated soon .... 

I initially applied for public service loan forgiveness back in XXXX of XXXX when the designated lender was XXXX. After multiple months of back and forth with them on the processing of my application I finally received confirmation that I had met the necessary threshold for forgiveness however I was notified that given the ending of their contract with the Department of Education that my application would be forwarded over to MOHELA for completion. Since that has taken place many months ago I still have not received any notification from MOHELA on the status of my loan forgiveness. In fact the information that they have noted on my payments is incorrect and I have contacted them on multiple occasions via phone and email to indicate such. I even resubmitted my public service loan forgiveness application and certifications to them again so they could see the discrepancies and all they did was cancel my duplicate application. Every time I have made attempts to contact them to gather information on the status I keep being informed that they have an influx of applications and it's going to take a long time to process. I'm told it'll take 30 days, then 60 days, then 90 days by now it has been practically 10+ months since MOHELA has had my application and I still have heard nothing about correction to my payments nor whether my loan has been forgiven. I have emailed them about this on the following dates : XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. I have called them on at least 5 occasions but unfortunately I have not taken down those exact dates.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX handling of my car loan. I had a car loan with your institution, and unfortunately, the car was sold, leaving a remaining balance of {$2200.00} and a repossession on my credit. 

I had an extra gap insurance policy with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to cover any extra expenses in case of car damages or repossessions up to no more than 150 % loan remaining balance. However, despite having this insurance policy, I was still left with a significant balance and repossession on my credit. 

Furthermore, I have discovered that changes were made to my account without my authorization. I have reason to believe that these changes were made through a document that was illegally obtained while I was incarcerated. This document does not have my signature or annulment with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, yet the changes were still allowed to go through. 

I have disputed this matter in a couple different ways. The situation has caused significant damage to my business funding, my living situation, my future moving situation and the funding of my daily living expenses and use of my credit line. It has been a major setback for me, and I am extremely disappointed with the way that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has handled this matter. 

I have attached the relevant documents to this letter to support my claim. I believe that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX should have taken more care to ensure that changes to my account were made with my authorization. 

I will like to request XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX review my case and refund the remaining balance on my credit as well as take the repossession off my credit. I also request that you investigate and unauthorized changes made to my account and take appropriate actions to prevent this from happening to other customers. 

I trust that you will take the necessary steps to resolve this matter in a timely and satisfactory Manner. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I would like to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding a situation where I was deceived into signing up as the primary signer for a car loan for a very old car, with Ally Financial, instead of being a co-signer as originally intended. Both my ex boyfriend, whom I was co-signing for, and I had poor credit histories and low income. At the time, I was already paying off my own car loan. The lender 's decision to involve two individuals with inadequate credit in the loan agreement seems highly predatory and unethical. 

Throughout the loan term, I struggled immensely to manage the financial burden of two car loans, as my ex-partner refused to contribute to the payments. Only after my ex received a lump sum of money from COVID relief funds was the car loan finally paid off. Unfortunately, the repercussions of this experience have left a lasting impact on my credit, making it extremely challenging for me to obtain a new car or a home. I believe that the lender 's actions were not only predatory but also racially discriminatory, as they deliberately burdened me with a loan that they knew I could not comfortably afford, given my credit and income. 

Looking back, I regret not having filed for bankruptcy, as it would have allowed me to clear my credit by now. I sincerely hope that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau can investigate this matter thoroughly and address the unfair practices employed by the lender. It is crucial that action is taken to prevent others from falling victim to similar predatory and discriminatory practices in the future.

Complaint narrative:
The Capital One Customer Advocacy Office replied to the XXXX XXXX XXXX Complaint on XX/XX/23 by asking me for my new contact information after calling me earlier in the day from my new cell number to bypass the XXXX 

Told the Rep to reply to the XXXX, instead of trying to bypass the complaint process and now we're right back to claiming that they do not have my new cell # on-file by sending emails to update the acct. 

They are purposely denying the new card and mailing it to the prior address on purpose at this point for it to be compromised. 

This is also starting to look like Harassment/Discrimination which if not resolved w/this process, then it'll be forwarded to an consumer attorney or the New York State Attorney General XXXXs Office XXXX
