Consumer Narrative
I have two federal student loans administered by MOHELA. The calculation for my second loan grossly miscalculated by MOHELA and they charged me far too much for the most recent auto-draft of the student federal loans now that the loan payments resumed. Loan # XXXX is for a principal balance of {$21000.00} at 4.05 % for 10 years ( 120 months ), though for some reason they have it posted in my loan details as 115 months. {$21000.00} at 4.05 % for 115 months should be a monthly payment of {$220.00}, though they are charging me {$220.00}, which is pretty close. Loan # XXXX is for a principal balance of {$16000.00} at 5.05 % for 10 years ( 120 months ), though for some reason they have it posted in my loan details as 119 months. {$16000.00} at 5.05 % for 119 months should be a monthly payment of {$170.00}, though they are charging me {$320.00}!!! This is grossly miscalculated. I called MOHELA on XX/XX/2023 to draw attention to the fact that they grossly miscalculated my monthly payment for XXXX # XXXX. They phone associates did not understand that the calculation was incorrect and were asking me to look at other loan repayment options, but I explained the calculation was incorrect based on the principal balance, interest rate, and loan term. I asked to speak to a manager, who admitted the loan calculation was incorrect but could not explain why. He said that he recalculated it and the new monthly payment for both loans would be for a combined {$410.00} ( this is still not quite correct, but much closer ). Even though the manager said he would fix the issue I was still charged {$540.00} for the most recent loan payment in XX/XX/2023.
