      Misapplied loan payments causing some loans to be past due even though I paid and they messed up. Can never get to someone on the phone, the computer offers to put me on the call back list, never once gotten a call back. Tried messaging then through their website contact link. Still nothing.

      I called regarding my student loans and was on hold for almost two hours.Theyre not the original loan servicing company. I do not see an alternative method to communicate with them regarding my loans.

      I consolidated my student loans through Mohela and selected to continue my existing IDR (Income-Driven Repayment) plan during the application. Despite that, the consolidation went through without the **** and I was defaulted into a standard ***ayment planmore than nine times higher than what I was paying before. My monthly payment jumped from around $200 to $1,900.Their website is essentially useless for tracking application status. According to the federal student loan site, Im still on an IDR plan, but Mohela shows otherwiseand I cant get in touch with anyone to confirm or resolve this.Ive spent over 7 hours across multiple attempts just trying to speak with someone. A few weeks ago, I waited 2 hours with no answer. Yesterday, 1 hour. Today, I finally reached someone after 40 minutesonly to be met with hostility. That *** changed my contact number and then transferred me to another department with a 2.5-hour estimated wait. I waited almost 2 hours before the call randomly dropped. No resolution, no callback.I'm not alone in this. Just look at other reviewsthis is a pattern. Mohelas service is unreliable, their systems are confusing and outdated, and trying to get actual help is emotionally exhausting. At this point, I dont know what to do. All I wanted was to stay on my ***ayment plan. Instead, Im stuck in limbo and facing an impossible payment.

      Will not actively apply additional payments to principal only, company gains interest on the higher balance while you wait for customer service to manually apply the additional payment to your principal (removing the interest payment they applied back to only a payment on the prinicpal).Customer service has confirmed my account settings are correct that additional payments will be applied to the principal and that it will be reflected within 30 days. This has never been the case, even waiting over 6 months, a phone call is always ***********'s a fraudulent measure by the company to gain a trickle of additional money from each loan holder via the interest.

      I have tried to call and contact this company over 10 times and it always says that there is at least a two hour wait. No one answers the phone and they do not cash your checks when youre trying to pay back your loan. I have nothing but a horrible review for this company and will be seeking a lawyer.

      MOHELA never notified me my student loans were due. Luckily, I logged into my account and saw I was 2 months behind. I submitted for deferment in Decemeber of 2024 and did not receive any response until February 2025. In February I was notified they denied my deferment and notified the credit bureaus I was 3 months late making *********** credit score has sank. I am attempting to dispute it with Equifax but MOHELA isnt taking any responsibility for their delay in response.

      Absolutely horrible. They said monthly payment was $1100 a month and couldnt refinance my house until it was fixed. Finally got it deferred and they havent sent any documents saying deferred. But then decided to report to the credit bureaus and dropping my score 100 points. Now I cannot refinance my house at all. Putting disputes in with the credit bureaus. Also, from what I have heard with the lender, he has had to turn several people away for the same thing and it has been Mohela every single time!

      It is near impossible to speak to a human being with this company (a company my federal student loans were sold to without any choice on my part). I have been on hold for over well over an hour, after the automated system gave me an estimated wait time of 35 minutes. The last time I needed to speak with a customer service representative with this company, I spent over 6 hours on hold trying to do so. Each time you call in you hear a message to the affect of “we are experiencing high call volume” - something that has been part of their automated menu for years. If you are experiencing high call volumes - HIRE MORE EMPLOYEES TO TAKE PHONE CALLS. A company that deals with a facet of people’s finances should not be legally allowed to be this inaccessible to their customers. This can have very real consequences on people’s financial situations. Beyond unacceptable and, in my opinion, borderline criminal.
