Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't temporarily delay making payments
Company: MOHELA
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the mismanagement of my private student loans by MOHELA ( Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority ), and to request a full investigation into my account as well as a discharge of the affected loan balance ( s ). This request is based on widespread allegations and recent investigations reported as of XX/XX/XXXX concerning MOHELAs misconduct, which has significantly harmed borrowers including myself both financially and emotionally.

According to recent public reports and investigations by multiple state attorneys general and regulators, MOHELA has been cited for : Failing to properly calculate monthly payments Issuing inaccurate bills and late fees Providing inaccurate or misleading information about repayment and forgiveness options Creating unnecessary delinquencies and defaults due to administrative failures These systemic issues mirror my own experience with MOHELA. Specifically, I have experienced the following issues with my account : Incorrect billing amount provided to me by way of MOHELA customer service representative. This led to delinquency and late fees in XXXX, XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. Customer service gave me incorrect information that caused me to miss payments in XX/XX/XXXX. I was given a 90 day grace period.

I have made repeated efforts to resolve these issues directly with MOHELA, but the problems persist. Their negligence has not only jeopardized my financial health, credit score, and access to federal benefits, but has also caused immense stress. Their actions or lack thereof constitute gross mismanagement, and I believe they violate my borrower rights under federal law.
