Consumer Narrative

During the summer, my loans were transferred from XXXX to Mohela. I sent two in-messages on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX, XXXX about employment verification and getting payments to become eligible. I event tried to call, but had absurd wait times. I was ignored and read that others were being ignored as well which was convenient given the XXXX XXXX deadline set by the government and already passed so they didn't have to honor the Limited XXXX Waiver. To get help, I reached out to the XXXX last week. The XXXX has been getting responses from Mohela, however, Mohela is refusing to fix the problem. I filled out the XXXX application last XXXX of XXXX. During that time, I was hired with XXXX XXXX Texas XXXX XXXX XXXX ). My time spent with them is also stated on my XXXX XXXX that I provided to the XXXX and Mohela which which is dated, signed, and stamped by HR. This should be plenty of proof for employment verification. According to Mohela, since I filed the application in XXXX XXXX and XXXX confirmed it, my payments from XX/XX/XXXX- XX/XX/XXXX do not count as eligible payments. That's ironic since Mohela stated at the beginning that was was still employed by XXXX. XXXX records clearly show that I was employed by them from XXXX XXXX XXXX but Mohela refuses to honor that. I did switch districts and started new employment in XX/XX/XXXX which I stated to the XXXX and Mohela. The issues are this : 1. Mohela is cheating us out of eligible payments towards the XXXX even when given employment verification. 2. They purposely ignored out communication since the XXXX XXXX deadline would pass as set by the US Govt. 3. Next, when I do fill out a new application, then only my payments from XXXX to XXXX. will count as eligible, but nothing for the rest of this school year though I'm employed. Mohela states we only need to fill out an application once a year, but what good is that doing us when they don't honor a full given year and stop counting eligible payments from when the application is filed. 4. In addition, as a teacher, our contract is from XXXX to XXXX in a given school year. However, our service records show only our school year 's end date when we leave so either XXXX or XXXX depending where you work. So all of us are losing eligible payments in XXXX and XXXX when we leaving a district even though we are paid and contracted through XXXX in a given year. 5. I understand if they're going by the service records which is why they can not honor XXXX and XXXX, but even then, that's not fair. With that being said, if they'll go off of the XXXX XXXX for that, why aren't they honoring all eligible payments for the full time we've been with a district then? It doesn't make sense as they try to cheat us out of money and payments.
