Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My current student debt is consolidated with Mohela where my total balance is roughly $ XXXX and I have been on the SAVE plan since XXXX when I had graduated from XXXX  school. Since the jurisdiction of the plan on XX/XX/XXXX my plan has been on forbearance and interest has not been accumulating, I had recertified my income to continue being on the SAVE plan since I am not in the place to be able to afford Standard repayment and other income driven plans ( ex : PAYE ) are not available. 

Despite being on an " interest-free '' forbearance, my account has been accumulating interest around XXXX. Calling Mohela has been challenging as I work long hours and when I am not working, I am preparing for an XXXX XXXX XXXX for my XXXX XXXX and so I find it difficult to be on hold for 3 or 4 hour at a time only to have a staff member not provide information or even know why this is happening to my account. My biggest confusion is if Mohela is currently not processing IBR applications why is it that my account is acting as if my IBR application is processed? 

This has not only put immense stress about my student loans but also frustration in that no one seems to have an answer.

Complaint narrative:
CFPB THIS IS WHAT I'M DEALING WITH NOT SAME AS THIS CASE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2025 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Against Equifax for FCRA Violations Dear CFPB : I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding its failure to properly investigate a dispute I submitted under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Inaccurate information on my credit report with Equifax. I provided comprehensive identifying information, including my full name, date of birth, Social Security number, current and previous addresses, and documentation to support my claims of inaccuracies. 

However, Equifax failed to fulfill its legal obligations. Instead, the company issued a letter claiming it could not locate my credit file using the data I provided and requested the same information again. Despite my compliance, Equifax : 1. Did not reinvestigate my dispute.

2. Failed to record the status of the disputed information.

3. Did not correct or delete the inaccurate data within the legally required 30-day period. 



This behavior mirrors a recent legal complaint against Equifax where plaintiffs reported similar overburdensome requests and neglectful actions. The described conduct indicates a systemic failure to comply with FCRA requirements, potentially to diminish responsibility for consumer dispute investigations. 

Equifaxs inaction has caused me significant distress, harmed my creditworthiness, and has left me without resolution despite my best efforts to comply with their requests. 

I respectfully request the CFPB investigate Equifaxs practices, hold the company accountable for FCRA violations, and require them to address my dispute in a fair and timely manner. Attached are copies of my dispute correspondence with Equifax, their responses, and documentation of the inaccuracies I reported. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. 

Sincerely,

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Follow-Up Complaint Regarding Verification of Fraudulent Account AND FINAL WARNING FOR INMEDIATE REMOVAL ACCOUNT To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally follow up on my previous complaint regarding the failure of [ Credit Bureau Name ] to remove fraudulent accounts from my credit report. Despite my submission of a Police Report and an FTC identity theft report ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ), [ Credit Bureau EQUIFAX ] has claimed that the disputed accounts have been " verified. '' The following fraudulent accounts remain on my credit report, which I have previously identified as resulting from identity theft : XXXX XXXX account ( XXXX ) Date Opened/ Reported XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ),

Additionally, I am invoking 15 U.S.C. 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ) and 15 U.S.C. 609 ( a ) ( 2 ) to request the removal and to demand proof of its verification. Section According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, credit reporting agencies are mandated to block information identified as resulting from identity theft. The claim of " verification '' does not satisfy these requirements, and it is evident that [ Credit Bureau Name ] has not conducted a thorough investigation, nor have they taken the appropriate actions to remove this fraudulent information.


I also believe that the actions of [ Credit Bureau EQUIFAX ] may constitute a violation of the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), as they have failed to adhere to the obligations concerning accurate reporting and consumer rights. I request that the CFPB investigate this matter further and take necessary actions to ensure that these accounts are properly deleted from my credit report. I also seek guidance on the steps I can take to protect my rights as a consumer in this situation.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this ongoing issue.
