Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: MOHELA
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I have been a XXXX XXXX for almost 12 years. I am writing today because I have been waiting for two years for my PSLF discharge on my student loans to process from the U.S. Department of Education. The loan servicer indicates that I met the qualified number of payments in XX/XX/XXXX. I am now more than 28 months past that date. 

I have called repeatedly for guidance or answers ( both the previous servicer and now our current servicer ), and no one seems to be able to assist me. 

Prior to XX/XX/XXXX, I was assured on every phone call that nothing more was needed, and that the loan forgiveness was in process. We were told to just wait. The servicer indicated that they have done everything they can do, and we are now waiting on a response from the U.S. Department of Education. Then, on XX/XX/XXXX, I was told that no application was on file for me, and I needed to submit a new application. I did this immediately on that day and submitted it through the portal. 

It has now been five months the servicer still does not have any answers for me. They put in a PSLF forbearance in the system, but now the loans are accruing interest.

Hello, The MOHELA Payment Calculator has been down for over XXXX weeks now causing me to be unable to pay off any of my loans. I want to pay off the entirety of XXXX of my student loans, however, I am completely unable to due to MOHELA 's " under maintenance '' Payment Calculator being required to be used to do a loan payoff.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
XXXX reported my paid off loan to Experian. My credit limit was increased and other loans were made and paid in full and on time. Because XXXX showed my first loan was paid and NO NEW loans were reported, my credit score was lowered instead of increased by the repayment of more loans.. This is damaging and has prevented my establishing new lines of credit due to a lower than actual score if all " Eligible '' loans were reported. 

In 2 years I had multiple loans and payments, all paid on time or early in full without a single late payment. 

They claim that not all loans are eligible for reporting and that is not in dispute. What is in dispute is that the loans not reported are identical contracts language wise as the previously reported loan, but were of different contractual amounts and term length which were 12 months instead of 6. 

The problem is the conflict of interest. With failure to report my perfect credit history with XXXX, it has severely limited my ability to seek other credit lines and reduced my ability to increase my credit score leaving me with only XXXX as as " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' Their policy in this matter is a racket to maintain a monopoly of sorts by preventing me from seeking other and better options. 

This has damaged me as the failure to report has lowered my score instead of increasing it. The ability to rent, purchase, or get credit without security deposit and extreme interest rates has been suppressed. 

XXXX  actually offered and I accepted a credit card to be used at any location. But I have to " Prearrange '' the transaction and amount before purchase. I have been turned down for other lines of credit that I would have qualified for if my paid off and current loans had been properly reported.

Complaint narrative:
I fell behind on my mortgage payments in XXXX  due to many issues impacting my marriage and my finances. I put the house up for sale, then sold the house in XX/XX/2019. My broker and title company satisfied the outstanding amount on my loan to XXXX and Prime. Since XXXX  I have been trying to rent and now I am trying to purchase a new house and the credit reporting agencies have my mortgage listed as charged off. In addition to that the mortgage company did not return my escrow payment to me, they sent it to the state of pennsylvania. I have been suffering trying to live a decent quality of life due to this. I have forwarded the closing documentation from my broker and title company to the old mortgage company XXXX, Prime lending and they refuse to correct and update my records nor my credit reporting information. I have sent faxes to them at XXXX requesting updated information and I attached recording documentation proving I paid the mortgage off. My current potential mortgage adviser is impacted because they want to show that the mortgage was paid off and I can't do that because of the erroneous reporting from the old mortgage company. In addition to that my potential future interest rate has more than doubled due to this error. I am no longer seen as a responsible borrower to creditors.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
My student loans were put into an administrative forbearance by Nelnet without my permission or request. I had submitted an application for borrower defense in XX/XX/2022. I specifically check the box stating I do NOT want my loans put into forbearance while awaiting a decision on the application. ( see support doc page XXXX ) I am a post class member in the XXXX vs XXXX case proceedings. I have no guarantee my loans will be forgiven via the borrower defense application and do not want to fall behind on payments while awaiting the decision. 
I have contacted Nelnet multiple times and dealt with profoundly long wait times ranging from XXXX minutes to XXXX hours. I am currently on hold and have been for XXXX and XXXX min while writing this. I have contacted studentaid.gov and the DOE to attempt to resolve this issue. The bigger issue at play is I need the loans removed from forbearance so I can recertify into a better payment plan and get my taxes filed after recertifying my loans in to the new XXXX plan. 
XXXX Nelnet has moved at a glacial pace to resolve this issue that never should have been an issue in the first place. I have a copy of the borrower defense application that has the box checked not to put my loans in forbearance while awaiting the outcome. 
In addition, many student loan servicers have been removing the forbearance and then placing the forbearance back several days later without permission given by the holder of the loans.
