Complaint narrative:
Happy new year, I am writing to inform you about the unfortunate passing of the primary borrower, [ XXXX XXXX ], who held an auto loan with your institution. I co-signed the loan with [ him/her ] and have been diligently attempting to maintain the payments since her passing in XXXX. 

Despite my efforts, the car has been towed away, and I am left in a challenging situation. I am reaching out to request your understanding and cooperation in managing the collection process for the outstanding balance. Given the circumstances, I would appreciate any assistance or guidance you can provide to navigate this matter. 

I understand the importance of fulfilling financial obligations and preserving the integrity of my credit. However, the loss of the collateral has added complexity to the situation. I am willing to work with you to find a resolution that is fair and manageable under these circumstances. 

I kindly request your consideration and would appreciate any information or documentation required to facilitate the deputation of collection in light of these unfortunate events. Please feel free to contact me at [ XXXX ] to discuss this matter further. 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Don't agree with the fees charged
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to deal with this company since XXXX of 2023. I knew my student loans were about to start back up, even though I continued to pay them throughout the pandemic, I needed to resubmit my IDR, I spoke with their customer service and they told me that my IDR was approved - I never received any paperwork confirming. The service rep told me that my XXXX payment would be what I have been paying {$160.00}, which is what I am able to do on my XXXX  salary. XXXX rolls around and I get a bill for {$360.00}. I pay the {$160.00}, because that is all I can afford and call again. They say that my new payment is {$370.00} with my IDR- now normally my XXXX and I both go through the IRS approval to get our IDR, there was none of that process this time. I told the service rep that I can not afford the {$160.00} right now as I haven't had a raise in over XXXX years. She asks if I want to defer or go into forbearance, I told her I had to think about it because the interest would be outrageous. Well I tried to schedule a meeting and every single date is taken, I call XXXX XXXX and ask for deferment/forbearance info and I still have yet to receive. I have done some research and found paperwork, but until that goes through I have payments that are compounding. The fees are ridiculous and at the rate I don't know how I am going to pay them back. It is practically impossible to talk with a human and I am at my wits end.

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

Complaint narrative:
Mohela sent a super confusing email on XX/XX/XXXX which says regarding the XXXX delayed statement issue " You may also, instead, contact us to request a refund for any payment made during this time. '' The same email says " If you made any payment ( s ) between XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, they will count toward your future payment ( s ). '' Mohela deducted two payments during this time, one on XX/XX/XXXX and one on XX/XX/XXXX. However, they are still deducting my XXXX and XXXX payments. If I can still receive PSLF credits for the XXXX and XXXX payments while getting a refund, then I want a refund of those two payments. Their statement that if I made payments between XXXX and XXXX then they will be credited towards future payments does not make any sense if they are still pulling my XXXX and XXXX payments.
