Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2022, XXXX refused to correct my current score with them back to pre-student loan debt transfer. It is not my fault I should be punished for something XXXX and Mohela did when reporting their transfer. I did not abruptly pay all my debt off and get myself into debt again. XXXX corrected my score when they first mistakenly added double my debt. There is absolutely no excuse for their refusal to say there is nothing they can do about it regarding interpreting the debt transfer.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan

Subissue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Consumer Complaint: In 2010 my income sensitive payment program was approaching its fulfillment time of 25 years, so I contacted my loan servicer to find out what the process of completion was. At that time I was informed that my loan had been transferred from its original servicer to MOHELA two years previously and that I was no longer on the ISRP but had automatically had my loan placed on MOHELA 's XXXX program and that the 25 year forgiveness period started all over again with the new servicer! I am now XXXX XXXX XXXX and my loan will not be forgiven until I'm in my nineties! In the meantime, as interest has accured, my credit report shows that I owe more than {$150000.00}. up from my original {$43000.00}. loan through interest. I applied for forgiveness for my work in nonprofits but was turned down because they were not qualifying nonprofits. I can not purchase a home, nor anything else requiring a credit report because of this debt, although I have been meticulous in keeping up my status with the loan servicer. This " start over again '' policy on firgiveness when a loan is transferred without the borrower 's knowledge or permission is a federal scam!

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was result of identity theft

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I received documents from Mohela stating that enclosed is the information that I requested. I previously filed a complaint XXXX and which I included documentation of my request to Mohela that was sent certified requesting a contract bearing my signature in wet ink. I first received documentation from them stating that I took a parent plus loan out showed my daughter school as the school I received a loan for. The date that my named was typed was XX/XX/XXXX. However I did apply but was denied on XX/XX/XXXX due to having adverse credit. So how can I have applied and type my name on XXXX XXXX if I was already denied on XX/XX/XXXX. I also a couple days later received another package with documents now stating that its my debt. As I read over the documentation that is still not a contract bearing my signature in wet ink where I agreed to pay a debt owned to Mohela. I read that some of section one may be completed for you. Because I was denied on XX/XX/XXXX for the Parent plus loan that they are trying to say I own but yet send me documentation with my name typed on XXXX XXXX someone other then myself filled that information for me. I have not giving anyone permission to type my name of fill out any form for me. A couple days after I received the first documentation from Mohela I received another package now saying that the debt belong to me. So I am now feeling like Mohela is pulling my Information from somewhere and sending documentation that are false. I still have yet to receive a contract which bears my signature to validate that I agree to pay a debt to Mohela. I received another corespondent on XX/XX/XXXX stating they have enclosed a Promissory Note that I signed on XX/XX/XXXX which again my name is typed. Anyone can type my name. Signature-a person name written in a distinctive way. Mohela have failed to provide me with the requested validation that I have requested a month ago. Mohela is in violation of 15 U.S.C 1692q. 15 U.S.C 1692j ( a ) ( b ) 15 U.S.C 1692d 15 U.S.C 1692e Mohela keep sending all these correspondences but yet have sent anything that validating the debt. As a consumer I have rights.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Consumer Complaint: When I filled out the online form for seeing if I qualified for student loan forgiveness, I found out that MOHELA is claiming that I have made no qualifying payments, yet my loan is decreased by more than {$2000.00}. I make my payments early every month and more than the required amount. I even had a few payments ( like 6 ) made by an employer of more than 2 times the required amount on top of my monthly payment. I have been paying through the forbearance time period and still it says no qualifying payments. I have tried to call numerous times and no one will answer the phone. I am on forever hold and if it does get through, I get hung up on. I filled out an online help ticket and the only response I got for help was a cancellation or closing of the ticket I generated. Why are none of my payments " qualifying '' and if it is so hard to have your payments " qualify '' by their standards, then the early loan forgiveness plan for public service people is a farce. I'm a nurse, I have always worked in small, critical access hospitals. I should qualify. Honestly after the last two years, these student loans for nurses and medical professionals should be 100 % forgiven now... Thank you for your help. Sorry for the angry tone, this has been a frustrating endeavor.
