Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I reached out to MOHELA after realizing that they have not been processing my student loan payments correctly. They send me two bills which I pay via checks each month - I place the loan account number on the checks and send the bill payment stubs. They are reporting my account as overdue despite me regularly sending payments. They have not given me any update on their investigation. Their employee acknowledged an issue on their end, that I should not have been receiving two bills and that they were processing them incorrectly on the phone and they would investigate but I have heard nothing since. I was under the impression no action would be taken until their investigation was complete and I received an updated account summary and billing. I just received notice my credit score dropped XXXX points due to this issue. MOHELA also takes a very long time to process the payments when I send them making their bills they send me inaccurate from that as well.

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.

I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a 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. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting this complaint regarding Transunion 's failure to properly investigate my consumer report dispute, in direct violation of their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On XX/XX/year>, I filed a formal dispute with Transunion to correct fraudulent and inaccurate information appearing on my consumer report. Instead of conducting a proper investigation, Transunion responded with a stall letter that neither addressed my dispute nor took steps to resolve the inaccuracies. 

I am aware that the CFPB has recently filed a lawsuit against Transunion for these very same practices namely, their systemic failure to properly investigate consumer disputes. I am a direct victim of this misconduct. 

As a XXXX veteran who suffers from XXXX, this experience has been extremely stressful and emotionally triggering. I am currently in the process of closing on a mortgage, and I am under strict time constraints with only one week remaining to finalize my home purchase. Transunions refusal to lawfully process my dispute is putting my homeownership at serious risk, compounding my stress and potentially causing irreparable harm to my financial future.

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Transunion fully complies with the FCRA, properly investigates my dispute without further delay, and removes the fraudulent and inaccurate items from my consumer report. I also request that Transunion be held accountable for the injury and distress they have caused. 

I am attaching supporting documents, including copies of my dispute submission and Transunions stall letter, should you require further evidence of their noncompliance.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.
