Complaint against Audi Financial Services : Excessive delay in releasing title. 

We paid off our lease in XX/XX/XXXX - six months later Audi has yet to release the title. As a result we have not been able to rewew our registration - due XX/XX/XXXX. We are forced to risk driving an unregistered vehicle or pay for extended car rental and will likely encounter fines for delay in registration when we do get the title. 
We have folllowed up with Audi Financial Services regularly - approximately every 1-2 weeks and have received shifting explanations, shifting timelines for releasing the title and no resolution. The explanation offered is, per conversations and a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX is " we are currently updating our titling process which may cause a delay in processing times. '' A six month delay is unacceptable and negligent, bordering on fraudulent business practice and we are seeking immediate release of the title.

Company: MOHELA
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I have applied for PSLF through Mohela. The process has been totally awful and the service is completely unacceptable. I initially applied for forgiveness in XX/XX/2022. I was told it could take 90 days to approve the forms. I waited patiently for 90 days and heard nothing then decided to call them, only to find that they decided to CANCEL my application for NO REASON whatsoever. My form was marked 'duplicate ' and that apparently triggered somebody to cancel the entire application without any explanation or any notification to me. Nobody could provide any information about what happened or why. I had to have the application process started again. I have waited on the phone for hours and hours to speak with supervisors ( on average 1.5hrs wait time each time ). Nobody on the first line of customer service seems to have any information or any ability to fix things and reaching a supervisor involves dedicating hours to just stay on hold. Six months in now and they have only processed PART of my employment dates only, despite all of the info being submitted at exactly the same time. I was told today that it may be ANOTHER 90 days just to update the rest of the payment counts correctly, even though I'm told the forms themselves have been technically approved. This service is completely unacceptable. People 's financial lives depend a lot on these situations, from obtaining credit, obtaining home or car loans, being able to work in specific jobs, etc. etc., and the level of service being given to such a serious part of people 's lives is totally inappropriate. Today I would specifically point out an online customer service representative XXXX, who was especially unhelpful and would just say things like " Like I told you already, we're working on it ''. Thanks a lot XXXX. Thanks a lot Mohela.
