Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. My application included XXXX payments while I working for the Federal Government. This exceeds the XXXX payments needed for loan forgiveness. But, Mohela has not processed my application. It has been 9 months. The application is supposed to be processed within 90 days. Every time I call they tell me they see that I have enough eligible payments, but they need to update their tracker. Their story keeps changing and on XX/XX/XXXX they said they have to resubmit the payment certifications because it got " caught up '' in the system, so the clock starts all over. I resubmitted with everything they asked for. I called many times to inquire and they said my application was good and all payments could be certified, but they just needed to update the payments into the account. Now they have changed their story and said my XXXX employment from XXXX could not be verified because my former employer did not sign the form. However the instructions said if I could not get my former employer to sign the forms, I could submit a XXXX, which I did. This is also what my previous servicer and Mohela have told me over the phone. Now Mohela has moved the goal posts and said I need a XXXX for every year I want credit. So I provided those documents and Mohela said they XXXX get to them in 90 days. I submitted my application 10 months ago and they are saying another 90 days. They never told me there was an issue or a need for additional XXXX 's until I started hounding them. Then their story changes every time I call or email them and they XXXX up a new hoop to jump through. They have not acted in good faith. I keep calling, jumping through hoops and submitting more documents and it's never enough

Company: Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson LLP
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Today, XX/XX/2022, my father handed me a letter from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP, attorneys at law, dated for XX/XX/2022. This letter falsely states a previous notice for a fake debt. This debt is in regards to a tollbooth I think, despite the fact that the state of Georgia ( where I and my father live ) has no tollbooths, except maybe in XXXX. Linebarger claims that there is a debt on our car for the " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' and " XXXX XXXX XXXX Colorado XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I don't mean this to be rude, but why on earth would anybody drive all the way to Colorado? I, the driver of the vehicle in question, have never been west of XXXX and have never driven farther than XXXX, GA. I thought that the " XXXX '' was a highway in Colorado, but XXXX said that it's something like a toll booth near or in XXXX. I'm not sure since I've never seen it or know what XXXX would look like, since I would never drive there, given that it's over XXXX miles away from me. I thought that this was a simple scam, but I discovered that Linebarger is actually a real debt collector. I tried calling them, and the system put me in a queue but reset my place and made me enter the reference number every XXXX seconds, so I am unable to ever possibly reach a real person. This is ridiculous, and I believe that either Colorado or Linebarger has made an error.

From my understanding, by not conducting a proper investigation, verifying inaccurate and incomplete information to be true, and causing me to suffer credit denials and financial harm due to willful negligence, this meets the requirements for a FCRA claim.
