Consumer Complaint: I have been trying to resolve this issue with the loan servicer for quite sometime. They have changed names so much it's hard to keep up with them. Direct loans were the loan servicers for these loans and i have asked them to show me a wet signature showing that I requested these loans and received them. There has been no compliance with validating the debt and it has been ruining my credit for over 10 years. I would like them to remove this from my credit report due to the fact that, there is nothing validating the debt, I have tried to contact them to resolve the problem but the credit bureaus continues to say that the debt belongs to me. I am ready to take this to court if necessary because the response from the loan servicer has always been validating the debt without showing proof. It has affected my life mentally and physically. Pain and suffering is just the tip of the ice burg with what its done to my life. If they do not get this off of my credit report, that is the next step I am taking, no more no less.

Consumer Complaint: IDR repayment change was submitted XX/XX/XXXX. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter stating my account has been placed in administrative forbearance from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. There is no information in this letter on whether or not PSLF " payments '' I could be making will be counted. It does state that interest will accrue while they take THREE months to review my application. I've called and waited on hold 3 times today for over an hour each time and haven't been able to reach anyone to ask for an explanation. Additionally, my loans were consolidated in XX/XX/XXXX and my PSLF payment counts were reset to zero and have not been updated. It's now been a YEAR and any request for information results in the same response : " The currently displayed PSLF and TEPSLF Payment Counts, specifically those for your PSLF and TEPSLF Eligible and Qualifying Payments, may not include all eligible and qualifying payments that you might be entitled to as a result of the Limited PSLF Waiver. We are in the process of updating this information and ask that you check back periodically for updates. Your continued patience during this process is appreciated. ''

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled
Consumer Complaint: I spoke Mohela XX/XX/2023 in regards to my new XXXX payments being recalculated as too high. They allowed me self certify over the phone, I even had an amount of ~ {$900.00} which was close to my original loan payment - and then they said in 5 business days my account will be updated to reflect that. I logged in and payments were around {$300.00} ( not {$900.00} that Mohela had determined on our previous call ). I have 13 loans and only 3 of the 13 are in repayment status. I am not sure why the other 10 are placed in forbearance. I do not want them to be in forbearance status as I am enrolled in PSLF and do not want to miss a month for repaying. Not to mention I called their customer service with over XXXX minute wait time. This is not fair that we are getting penalized due to the inadequacies at Mohela. I need my account to reflect repayment status.

Consumer Complaint: Applied for SAVE and updated my PSLF payments as instructed in XXXX or XXXX. On XX/XX/2023 I received a statement dated XX/XX/2023 with a due date of XX/XX/2023 for {$110.00}. The date of this email violated the 21 day rule as admitted by MOHELA themselves on XX/XX/2023. Nothing in the statement indicated this was under SAVE. I have been preparing as much as I can for payments to resume still knowing that I had no idea how much I would be paying come XXXX, so when I received the statement I immediately looked at my XXXX budget to schedule payment. However, on XX/XX/2023, I received an email that my account had been placed in administrative forbearance. No reason is given and I have not been able to determine whether that administrative forbearance will count towards PSLF. It absolutely should count since this is MOHELAs mismanagement. Finally, when I submitted updated PSLF paperwork it was not to request forgiveness as I dont have 120 payments yet. However, the form should have been processed so as to update the number of qualifying payments I have made. With XXXX, I recertified the number of payments annually. Instead of that number being updated, I received a letter rejecting forgiveness because I hadnt made 120 qualifying payments. How am I supposed to know where I stand and apply for PSLF at the appropriate time if they wont update the numbers when I re-certify my employer? MOHELA has had years to prepare for this. YEARS. This is asinine.

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled
Consumer Complaint: Description of the problem : On XX/XX/23, I made my first payment to Mohela. The payment was failed, nothing showed up in my bank account nor Mohela account. On XX/XX/23, I made my second payment to Mohela. My bank account showed me a successful transaction, while it showed nothing on my Mohela account. I called Mohela, they told me they the payment was not success. They couldn't find my bank account based on the information I input. They also suggested me using a saving account to make a payment, instead on a checking account. At this point, I though this might be a system issue. So I called my bank, to see if there are anything they can do to help me get the money back. My bank said Mohela already took the money, there is nothing they can do to take the money back beside filing a claim. So I file a claim about Mohela not putting my money to a correct account, and I got a credit on my checking account. On XX/XX/23, I made my 3rd payment. This time, I followed what the Mohela staff told me, I use a saving account for the payment. Same thing happened, my bank showed the transaction was completed, while my Mohela app show nothing, and I couldn't find any of my payments history on my account. Now, my requests are : 1. How can Mohela fix the problem in their end? I can make the payments as many times as possible, but if none of my payments go to my student loan, there is no point of me doing this. 2. Since Mohela claim they did not received the money, how can I get my money back? ( The transaction on XX/XX/23 ) 3. If, in the worst case scenario, the problem got fixed after my payment is due, can I not paying the interest for that part? Since it wasn't my problem, it was Mohela 's problem on not putting my payment in a correct account.

Consumer Complaint: Formal Complaint Regarding Unethical Conduct by XXXX XXXX Resulting in Loss of Credits and Accumulation of Student Loan Debt Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX, pertaining to a distressing and unethical situation regarding my student loans and academic credits. The incident took place during my enrollment at XXXX XXXX, and the subsequent ramifications have left me in a highly unfavorable financial and academic predicament. I attended XXXX XXXX and relied on student loans to finance my education. Regrettably, all the funds disbursed through these loans were utilized by the university, and when I transferred to a new institution, I was not granted the academic credits I deserved for the time I spent at XXXX XXXX. Despite completing coursework that should have amounted to 30 credits, I received zero credits from XXXX XXXX. This unethical conduct on the part of XXXX XXXX has had far-reaching consequences on my academic progress and financial well-being. I am burdened with a significant amount of student loan debt, yet I have nothing to show for it in terms of academic credits or a meaningful education from the institution. I am seeking your assistance in addressing this issue and requesting a thorough investigation into the conduct of XXXX XXXX. I urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to : Investigate the financial practices of XXXX XXXX and the misappropriation of the student loan funds meant for educational expenses. Investigate the unjust denial of academic credits earned during my enrollment at XXXX XXXX. Advocate for appropriate compensation, credit transfer, or debt relief that aligns with the academic credits I rightfully earned. I have attached all relevant documents, including loan disbursement records, academic transcripts, and any communication with XXXX XXXX that may assist in your investigation. I kindly request that you keep me informed of the progress of this investigation and the steps being taken to rectify this situation. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance in resolving this distressing issue. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I applied for the SAVE repayment program through the student aid.gov website. My request was forwarded to my servicer, Mohela and they cancelled out the request on XX/XX/ without providing any notice or reason for the cancellation. On XX/XX/ they billed me for a standard repayment amount of {$390.00} with a due date of XX/XX/. They have provided no reason why I was completely removed from my Income Driven Repayment plan all together instead of them recalculating my payments based on the new SAVE repayment plan.
