Company: MOHELA
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding Mohela Loan Services and their handling of my student loan account, which has significantly impacted my credit report and, consequently, my ability to secure a home loan. 

Recently, Mohela changed its company name, but in doing so, they made errors in credit reporting that have caused serious financial harm. Specifically, I have discovered that duplicate accounts were created under both the old and new company names, each listing the same loan balance. This resulted in an inflated total amount owed on my credit report, effectively doubling the debt reflected in my credit history. All XXXX credit bureaus reflect this discrepancy. Mohela stated mortage companies use XXXX party companies that could have made the mistake. After speaking with the mortage company they confirmed the duplication shows with all XXXX bureaus. The amount of time and effort to correct this is unknown, it could takes months and now the burden falls upon me. A full time teacher, mom and wife. 

As a result of this negligence, my credit score has dropped, and I am now facing difficulties in securing a mortgage, which has caused considerable distress. The appearance of these duplicate accounts on my report has led to confusion with potential lenders, who have been misled by the inflated debt amounts.

I respectfully request that CFPB investigate this issue with Mohela and facilitate the correction of these errors, ensuring that my credit report accurately reflects the true amount owed without any duplication. Furthermore, I would appreciate any assistance you can provide in addressing the damage caused to my credit score and the ongoing difficulties in securing a home loan due to these reporting errors.

Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX XXXX  I called Mohela my fed loan servicer to inquire about a mailer I received from them saying they may have better repayment programs. I asked if I was in the best repayment plan. The person on the phone changed my program to a " Graduated '' program as he said that was better for me. It is not better. It is twice the amount and apparently does not count toward Public Service loan forgiveness which my previous IDR plan counted for. They are now refusing to resolve this. I have called multiple times and filed multiple complaints including with the Fedaid.gov. No response. The one agent I was only ever to get a hold of since this mishap in XXXX was in XXXX of this year. According to the agent in XXXX, she confirmed there was never a new form completed by me authorizing them to change me to a " Graduated '' plan. said she filed a complaint for me, placed a forbearance on my account for XXXX months while this was resolved, and suggested I submit new IDR paperwork. I did though they do not acknowledge receiving this. The only thing I have received from them since then is a new bill saying they are going back to taking the wrong amount from the wrong plan ( {$510.00} ) in XXXX. 

I had made many calls prior to each of these payments coming out ( after receiving the new amount on the paper bill ) again the call volume was incredibly high. The recording said, " If you are receiving bills ignore them we are working with the federal government to work this out. '' I did and they proceeded to take the money out of my account anyway.
