Consumer Narrative

I submitted my PSLF in XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX. I was told I had 4 months left to pay on my loans until forgiveness. I paid until XX/XX/XXXX and re-submitted my PSLF to XXXX. I gave them a month or XXXX but didn't hear anything about it so I tried calling them a few times. I was told 'another department handled those ' when calling and was transferred but either was hung up on somehow or no one answered at that number. I was then told MOHELA had my account. I did not want any confusion with the XXXX XXXX 's I turned in so I called and talked to a gentleman representative around XX/XX/XXXX and explained why I had XXXX XXXX submitted in XX/XX/XXXX and the other in XX/XX/XXXX. He put a note in so no one would get confused and knew why they were in there. He let me know my forgiveness would take XXXX business days. I waited XXXX business days and did not see any communication in my online account/portal with them so I had no clue where it was in the process. I called in XX/XX/XXXX and was told my XX/XX/XXXX XXXX had been marked as a duplicate despite the note the lady saw clearly in the system that states otherwise and had not been processed. I was told that even though it was their fault/mistake I had to wait ANOTHER XXXX business days and she put another note in there not to mark it as a duplicate. In XX/XX/XXXX I called about my PSLF again ( also no clear indication in my online account/portal that they were doing anything with my forgiveness or where it was in the process ) and was told by the same lady who took my call in XXXX that it was AGAIN marked as a duplicate and my forgiveness was again not processed. She told me they now had a XXXX business day policy to expedite the forgiveness when it is their fault. She assured me it would be completed in that time. It has been over 2 months and still no word about my forgiveness at all. I was sent a 'sorry we may have messed up your forgiveness here is XXXX for the inconvenience ' letter from XXXX but nothing from them since that. During all this time I had also sent messages through my online account to MOHELA trying to get answers but no answers or forgiveness ( plus they seem to have turned off my ability to send messages or hidden it really well since I last sent them since I no longer can do so ). I have also tried to complain to the department of education about this twice the first time they had told me the last XXXX form reported to them was in XXXX. I wrote back stating that both FedLoans and MOHELA stated they had both my XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX XXXX and I wasn't sure why either had not updated them with this information. I have yet to hear back from them on the 2nd email. Can someone please help me to get my PSLF from these companies that seem to be purposely denying it?
