Company: MOHELA
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding MOHELAs gross mishandling of my Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ) account. Despite having made well over the required 120 qualifying payments, my loans have not been forgiven. For the past 18 months, I have been forced to navigate repeated administrative failures, delays, and inaccuracies on MOHELAs part that have caused significant financial and emotional stress. 

Issue with XXXX Payment : In XX/XX/XXXX, my employer mailed a {$25000.00} paper check to MOHELA. This check was sent five separate times throughout XXXX, following all address and submission instructions provided by MOHELA. Due to persistent internal failures, MOHELA did not successfully process and credit this payment until XX/XX/XXXX nearly a year later. 

Following this payment, I should have met the 120-payment requirement for PSLF forgiveness. However, MOHELA failed to count six months of payments ( XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX ), citing a forbearance period. This forbearance was not requested, authorized, or initiated by me. It appears MOHELA applied it unilaterally due to their own delay in processing the XX/XX/XXXX payment. This error directly and unfairly disrupted my qualifying payment count. 

Issue with XXXX Payment : In XX/XX/XXXX, my employer mailed another {$25000.00} check to MOHELA. It was sent on XX/XX/XXXX and delivered on XX/XX/XXXX, but was inexplicably returned. A replacement check sent in XX/XX/XXXX was also returned, and on XX/XX/XXXX, my employer received a notice stating the " lockbox was closed ''. 

This second payment should not have been necessary my loans should have already been forgiven based on my complete PSLF payment history. Nonetheless, I ensured my employer persisted in resending the payment, which was finally accepted and applied in XX/XX/XXXX after four failed attempts. 

During this time, I was again incorrectly placed into involuntary forbearance in XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX all caused by MOHELAs mismanagement. These forbearance periods further delayed my forgiveness eligibility, again through no fault of my own. 

I respectfully request : 1. An immediate and thorough review of my PSLF account.

2. A corrected and accurate count of my qualifying payments.

3. Full discharge of my loans under the PSLF program.

4. A refund of any excess payments made beyond the 120 qualifying payments. 

I have worked full-time in public service and fully complied with all PSLF requirements. I am not seeking special treatment I am simply requesting that MOHELA honor the terms of the program, as established and promised. 

This experience has been unnecessarily burdensome, financially damaging, and emotionally exhausting. MOHELAs mishandling of my account has been both unacceptable and deeply distressing, and I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate and ensure accountability.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. 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:
I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate, unverifiable, and noncompliant information being reported on my Experian consumer credit report. I am asserting my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), and citing direct violations confirmed by the CFPBs XX/XX/XXXX lawsuit against EXPERIAN * * I am a victim of malpractice and broken laws based on the XX/XX/XXXX lawsuit against EXPERIAN. * * And Im also filling this complaint due to Experians repeated violations of federal consumer protection laws, failure to process my identity theft claims, reinsertion of accounts without notice, and continued reporting of inaccurate and noncompliant credit data. Despite multiple formal disputes, Experian has failed to meet its obligations under : - 15 U.S.C. 1681i Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation - 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 2 ) Failure to forward all submitted documentation to furnishers - 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain maximum possible accuracy - 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 Failure to block fraudulent accounts upon identity theft report - 18 U.S.C. 1028 Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act - FACTA Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 - Metro 2 Compliance Standards Personal Information Inaccuracies Experian continues to list fraudulent and inaccurate addresses on my credit file, despite receiving my government-issued ID and utility documentation. The only valid address that should appear is listen in the letter All others are the result of identity theft or Experians data mishandling.

Accounts Reported in Violation of Federal Law XXXX XXXX {$12000.00} XX/XX/XXXX Failure to investigate identity theft ( FCRA 1681c-2 ) Accounts reinserted without MOV or consumer notice, Metro 2 violations ( codes 30/31 ), FCRA 1681c-2 and 1681i ( a ) ( 2 ) violations Pattern of Misconduct EXPERIAN Lawsuit Reference This is not isolated. The CFPB filed suit against EXPERIAN in XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) for failing to forward disputes, illegally reinserting accounts, and disregarding identity theft claims the very same conduct Im reporting here. I am directly experiencing the same violations as outlined in that case

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this formal complaint against Bank of America regarding their mishandling of a fraud claim I submitted for an unauthorized {$100.00} charge. I used my Bank of America card solely for the purpose of checking into a hotel. Days later, a {$100.00} charge posted to my account from the same merchant that I did not authorize. This charge was separate from my initial check-in transaction.

I filed a fraud claim with Bank of America and clearly stated that I had not authorized any charge on the date the transaction posted. Despite this, my claim was denied after their investigation.

Upon my own follow-up with the hotel, they admitted that my card was tied to a completely different guests reservation a stranger whose name they provided to me. This is clear evidence of both fraud and merchant error. If Bank of America had conducted a proper investigation, they could have confirmed this directly with the merchant.

Instead, they closed my claim without explanation and without providing details on what evidence was reviewed. This shows a failure to perform due diligence in investigating fraud claims, leaving me to resolve an unauthorized charge on my own.

I am requesting that the CFPB document this as a formal complaint and review Bank of Americas dispute resolution process to ensure : 1. Customers are informed of the specific evidence used to deny a fraud claim.

2. Merchant admissions of error are taken into account in claim decisions.

3. Genuine fraud claims are investigated thoroughly and fairly.

This is a matter of consumer protection and accountability. Bank of Americas handling of this case has been negligent and has failed to protect me as a customer.
