Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem with forgiveness, cancellation, or discharge
Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My loan sequence 8 and 9 were completely forgiven as part of the PSLF and the PSLF waiver. See attached letter from XX/XX/XXXX. All of a sudden recently I noticed a balance of around $ XXXX reappear for these sequences which was supposed to be forgiven as part of the PSLF and consolidation waiver. Initially when I got my PSLF forgiveness letter I called Mohela panicked that it did not include 5 of my loans that were pending consolidation and the forgiven balances were incomplete. I was reassured they would be forgiven too as part of PSLF and if for some reason they are not, Mohela can take care of it on the back end. Here are my notes from those conversations XXXX Spoke to XXXX XXXX employee # XXXX at Mohela , he spoke to a supervisor. I was then told " If loans are forgiven before the consolidation is complete we will reprocess forgiveness with the new balances '' - on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX employee XXXX told me the same thing " If all the sequences are not added before forgiveness, we can go back in and manually adjust the forgiveness '' - I have attached the payment count letter from XX/XX/XXXX, my repayment letter from XX/XX/XXXX which did not have a consolidated loan balance ( and all of a sudden the one from XX/XX/XXXX does ), and my paid in full letter from XX/XX/XXXX showing my two consolidated loans have been paid in full. Please correct this as soon as possible and erase the balance on loans 8 and 9. I made a lot of financial decisions based on the information I was given and the promise that my loans would be forgiven even if the forgiveness completes before the consolidation finishes. Please help me to fix this as I will be in great financial stress if this is not fixed.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
I have been a Bank of America ( BofA ) customer about 7 years. In that time, I have made my payments on time, including paying off the balances every month. I have had very few, if any, late payments over the last 7 years. On XX/XX/23, BofA withdrew from my XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) account a sum which I had canceled, or so I thought. Once I saw the amount coming out, I immediately contacted BofA to reverse the payment to them, as it would have left me with no money in my XXXX  account. The person I spoke to thought it should be reversed without problems, but also thought it was a good idea to talk with XXXX. Unbeknownst to me until today XX/XX/XXXX  when I contacted BofA, XXXX had put a stop payment on ALL payments to BofA, not just the individual transaction. I had attempted to make five payments within the last month, all declined because of the stop payment by XXXX. The only notice I received was a message saying it didn't go through. No explanation, nothing. I was alerted today by BofA that they were closing my account, I can only assume for nonpayment. At no point did BofA ever contact me by phone to find out why a loyal customer with a spotless payment record was having problems with the payments. The only notification I received about closing the account came today, after it was already closed and I could do nothing about it. I was never notified by them that this was a possibility, nor was I given an opportunity to remedy the situation caused by XXXX. This will drastically affect my credit, of which I have worked hard to build and maintain over the years. Seven years, spotless payment record, closed within one month without notice.
