Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: MOHELA
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I originally consolidated my loans and applied for PSLF/FFEEL on XX/XX/XXXX. My consolidated loans were transferred from XXXX to Mohela on XX/XX/XXXX. I hit my requisite 120 payments on XX/XX/XXXX. I have consistently called and questioned why my account has not been submitted for forgiveness. I even filed an updated Employer Certification in XXXX, XXXX to show that I still work for the same federal employer ( XXXX ) and that my payment count as of that date was 125 months of payments. To date, I have made 128 months of qualifying payments, yet Mohela sat on my account and did not file for forgiveness with student aid.gov until XX/XX/XXXX ( per my most recent call to them ). My loans should have been forgiven over 8 months ago and I am continuing to wait. 

I called today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) to again question the status and was given no answers. Further, I requested information on how to contact the Mohela Ombudsman and was not given information and they even admitted that the information is no longer on their website. When asked for a supervisor, I was refused and told they had " put in a request '' but that " no one was answering, '' I remained on this call for 90+ minutes with no resolution.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Gift card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: Incomm Holdings Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I received a vanilla gift card for my daughters birthday worth {$200.00}. I tried to use it on XX/XX/2023, and the card was declined. I tried it XXXX times the card was declined. Finally, when I decided to check the balance, it showed multiple transactions I did not authorize from XXXX XXXX and others. 

The transaction I attempted to make was at XXXX XXXX XXXX and had a {$20.00} hold on each, which was a total of {$60.00}. Finally, the card had a {$4.00} balance with all transactions I did not approve, so I attempted to call customer service for the vanilla gift card. They hung up on me three times, but I recorded the calls. I will provide it if necessary, but this tells me this is a fraud. I did look it up online, and there seems to be a big scam going on with this vanilla gift card, so Im reporting it to see if I can have my gift card resent because Im not able to fix this with the company itself.

Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Professional Debt Mediation, Inc.
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
I moved out from an apartment I lived at for 2 yrs. When I moved out they did a walkthrough without me and said that my apartment was damaged and that I owed them almost {$700.00}. I did not feel that what they were charging me for was warranted as I also had taken pictures when I moved out. The Apartment Manager said that I could enter into a mediation if I wanted to dispute. I agreed to do this. 

At the end of XXXX I received a Debt Collection notice in the mail from a company called " Professional Debt Mediation '' stating I had been sent to collections for {$660.00}. 

On Friday XX/XX/XXXX, I called PDM and asked them why I was being sent to collections and that the Apartment company was supposed to do a mediation first, which was not done. I told them that they could not just send me to collection without proving that I actually owed this debt and that the apartment was damaged. I told them that I would file with CFPB, and Attorney General if this was not handled correctly. They said they would try and reach someone at apartment and to hold. They did not get anyone and then the next day I go t an alert on my credit stating they filed this debt with credit agency. 


Here is why I am disputing : 1. The damage, or debt was never substantiated 2. There was no actual Mediation set up 3. The Apartment company XXXX XXXX XXXX didn't send me any statement telling me they were sending me to collections, or mediation 4. There was no attempt from PDM to resolve, or prove that the apartment company did any of this Therefore, I believe this was filed fraudulently and would like this Removed from my credit.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023I received aletter advising me that my credit limit was lowered from {$6300.00} to {$1000.00}. I called FNBO and was told that it was decreased due to a late payment ( due on XX/XX/XXXX ) and also due to my credit rating. FNBO acquired the account from XXXX XXXX XXXX approximately 6 months ago. It was difficult making payments after being sole because the phone number was incorrect, however I had never been late. FNBO decreased my credit limit without justification as I also did not give permission to run my credit report and I was not applying for a new card. I believe this happened because the back did not wish to honor the credit limit that was previously authorized by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I believe this company intentionally decreased credit limits so that it could avoid honoring the credit limits. I had not used the card for over two years and was paying off the balance which is {$450.00}

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is directly related to a prior complaint Submitted to the CFPB on XX/XX/XXXX. The direct link to that complaint, which was resolved and now closed is https : //portal.consumerfinance.gov/consumer/s/complaint-detail # XXXX I have recently been contacted again by another debt collection agency named I.C. Systems for the same Account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX is continuing to initiate fraudulent claims via debt collection for monies that are not owed to them. The bill in questions was paid on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$150.00}. 

I spoke to I.C. Systems on a recorded line twice today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) about the issue and they refused to provide an email address where I could send proof of payment to resolve the claimed issue. I.C. Systems instead proceeded to collect the debt even after I clearly explained that I had previously resolved the issue by making a final payment to XXXX XXXX XXXX and also via my initial complaint against XXXX XXXX the first debt collector. XXXX XXXX confirmed via their response back to my complaint # XXXX. They stated : " Thank you for your submission. The account in question was placed with XXXX XXXX and was recalled by the client XXXX. '' The client here is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They have now commenced another debt collection against XXXX XXXX XXXX via I.C. Systems for the same account number and amount. I personally spoke with two representatives of I.C. Systems to ask them to cease with the debt collection because their actions are complicit with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who is not entitled to any monies, they are claiming is owed to them. XXXX XXXX XXXX paid the debt on XX/XX/XXXX as shown on the attached receipt we have included along with a copy of the debt collection notice from I.C. Systems. This is the second debt collector regarding this matter.

XXXX XXXX XXXX is continuing to be harassed by the continued debt collection notices and actions of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX through the I.C. Systems debt collection agency. Both are complicit in their actions, against XXXX XXXX  XXXX and it needs to stop. 

Every day that this issue is unresolved is timely and costly to XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and we wish this fraudulent claim to be put to rest for good.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of 2023, I received a notice from XXXX XXXX  stating I owed XXXX XXXX XXXX {$210.00}. ON XXXX, I disputed this account by letter to XXXX XXXX, requesting validation. XXXX later provided an account statement from XXXX XXXX, but failed to provide a contract or a signed finance agreement as requested. nor did they provide proof of their right to collect on this alleged debt. On XXXX XXXX inaccurately reported this account to Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, naming XXXX XXXX as Creditor. On XXXX I disputed this collections account with Equifax. Instead of deleting this account as being inaccurately reported, Equifax allowed XXXX to Update the inaccurately reported account and changed the creditor to XXXX XXXX. Equifax also accepted a fraudulent account statement to substaniate this debt without requiring a signed agreement or contract for services. If they had, they would have discovered there was none. They also would have discovered that XXXX claimed to provide additional coverage outside the coverage period without authorization. 
XXXX did not stop collection procedures until the debt was validated. Prior to this XXXX XXXX report I had a! 00 % payment history and XXXX credit score. I believe XXXX, Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX violated the Fair debt reporting act.
