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

Complaint narrative:
I have XXXX separate issues with fraudulent practices taken by my federal student loan interest provider, Mohela. 

Fraudulent Practice # XXXX. As background, in XXXX XXXX, I was placed in an involuntary forbearance due to the XXXX litigation. I have documentation and correspondence from my federal loan service provider that interest would NOT continue to accrue. However, I have documentation showing that my loan balance and interest has grown thousands of dollars ( and despite making payments totaling approximately {$10000.00} during the forbearance ) over the course of the forbearance. Therefore, Mohela lied and student loan interest continued to accrue on my account during the save forbearance. I would like them to reverse this and remove the interest that should not have accrued on my account. 

Fraudulent Practice # XXXX. During the XXXX forbearance, I did not have any bills and was not required to make any payments. However, my employer was making payments on my behalf. I spoke with Mohela in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX when the XXXX forbearance went into effect to ensure that the payments made on my behalf during the XXXX forbearance would count towards future bills once I was able to switch to an XXXX plan. Mohela confirmed several times on the phone in XXXX XXXX that payments would count. Based on that information, I advised my employer to continue making payments on my behalf. When new applications for income driven repayment ( XXXX ) repayment opened up, I switched over to a XXXX so that I could get out of the XXXX forbearance and continue making payments to count towards XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. My first bill under the XXXX is due at the end of XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with Mohela representatives today ( Monday, XX/XX/XXXX ) who advised that all of my payments made over the course of the forbearance ( totaling approximately {$10000.00} ) would not count towards future bills. This information was not revealed to me in XXXX XXXX when I spoke with Mohela, and they outright lied to me. They also told me it would not count towards the " XXXX Back XXXX student loan forgiveness '' program. They told me they could not reapply it towards future bills. I then requested they reimburse my employer the funds since it did not count towards any bills. Mohela representatives told me they would not reimburse me. Mohela has lied, provided inconsistent information, and cost me money. I am requesting an investigation into the unfair and fraudulent business practices of Mohela.

Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against TD Bank regarding a fraudulent wire transfer and the banks failure to resolve my claim despite repeated follow-ups. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, a fraudulent wire was sent from my account in the continental XXXX to another XXXX account. My email account had been mirrored/compromised, and I was deceived into confirming fraudulent wire instructions. 

I notified TD Bank in person the very next day after the fraudulent transfer. Despite this, I received no email acknowledgment or written confirmation of my claim. I returned to the branch multiple times in person to seek updates. 

The first substantive response I received was not until XX/XX/XXXX, when I was placed on an email chain with a fraud case XXXX. However, that case XXXX has never provided me with any information, updates, or resolution. 

It has now been over 12 months since the fraudulent transfer and my initial notification to TD Bank, and the matter remains unresolved. The banks handling of this case has caused significant financial harm and raises serious concerns about compliance with federal banking obligations, including duties under the Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC Article 4A ) and consumer protection standards.

This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA XXXX ( 15 U.S.C.

The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! 

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud.
