Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem with your payment plan
Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have Mohela loan servicing. I noticed that even though I have autopay set up, there was a late due balance on my account one month. There were instructions on how to pay that off, and when I did that, my payment went through, but this overdue balance did not go down. It keeps stacking up month after month, and I keep following their instructions to pay it. I reached out via email, asking how to pay towards this specific overdue balance and how to adjust my autopay so it doesn't keep accruing. They have yet to get back to me. They never answer my calls ( I get nonstop press XXXX press XXXX press XXXX main menu, never a human ). I am worried this is hurting my credit score and over the past few months I have paid hundreds of dollars additional and still have an overdue balance.

Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of identity theft. A personal line of credit account & student loan accounts were fraudulently opened in my name without my knowledge or authorization. These accounts do not belong to me, and I have never applied for or used these accounts. Despite several written disputes and requests for verification, the companies have failed to provide any supporting documentation proving that these accounts are valid or that I am responsible for them. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate or fraudulent information on my credit report. I have repeatedly notified both the credit reporting agencies and the furnisher of this debt that the accounts are fraudulent, but it continues to appear on my credit file. The companies have not provided a copy of any signed application or agreement showing I opened these accounts, verification of the alleged debt, any documentation linking me to these accounts beyond what appears to be computer-verified information. I have also requested removal of these accounts multiple times and cited my status as a victim of identity theft, but the companies continues to report these accounts. These actions are damaging my credit standing and causing me financial harm. I am requesting the CFPB 's assistance in requiring the companies listed below to immediately delete these fraudulent accounts from my credit reports, provide verifiable documentation that proves I am responsible for these accounts, and cease all collection activity related to these accounts in compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the FCRA. I am asking for CFPB enforcement to ensure these fraudulent accounts are investigated properly and permanently removed from my credit history.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding chimes handling of disputes, particularly in the light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using chime numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and chime failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that chime has not neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeated offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. The lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Company: Veros Credit, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I contacted XXXX  and Veros Credit on eight separate occasions to dispute and discuss a fraudulent auto loan account appearing on my credit report. Despite providing the necessary documentation, XXXX  has yet to remove the inaccurate account, and Veros Credit has repeatedly stated they would investigate the issue but have failed to provide any follow-up or resolution.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), both XXXX  and Veros Credit are legally required to : Conduct a reasonable investigation of any disputed information within 30 days of receiving a dispute ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ).

Notify the consumer of the results of the investigation and provide a written summary of findings ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ).

Delete or correct inaccurate or unverifiable information promptly ( 15 U.S.C.
1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ).

Furnishers of information, such as Veros Credit, must also investigate disputes forwarded by a credit bureau and report accurate information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) ).

At this point, both parties appear to be in violation of their obligations under the FCRA by failing to conduct a timely and reasonable investigation and by continuing to report inaccurate information.
