Consumer Narrative
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally request an investigation into the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority ( MOHELA ) for their handling of my federal student loan account and their recent credit reporting practices. Despite an ongoing investigation and review of my account, MOHELA has reported a negative delinquency to the credit bureaus, which I believe is both premature and unjustified. This negative entry has caused significant harm to my credit profile and financial standing. It is my understanding that while an account is under active investigation or review, no adverse credit actions should be reported until the matter has been fully resolved. MOHELAs decision to proceed with negative reporting under these circumstances demonstrates a lack of fair and responsible servicing practices. I respectfully request that the CFPB initiate a formal review of MOHELAs actions to determine whether they are in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other applicable federal consumer protection laws. Additionally, I am requesting that MOHELA be directed to immediately remove the negative delinquency from my credit reports pending the resolution of the ongoing investigation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your assistance in ensuring fair and lawful loan servicing and credit reporting practices.
