MOHELA Student Loan Complaint

Federal student loan servicing Can't repay my loan can't decrease my monthly payments

MOHELA Student loan department,

Federal student loan servicing Can't repay my loan Can't decrease my monthly payments Georgia

MOHELA does not allow payments to be made on accrued interest for existing loans if you continue to borrow. So you can not reduce the interest that will be owed on your loans when you graduate. This information is not clearly available anywhere on their website, and when attempting to pay off my accrued interest via phone, which is apparently the only way to direct payments, the representative assured me that my payment would be applied as directed. It was not until checking my account the following week that I was made aware of the error. Finally after calling another different representative they finally informed me that their rules did not allow my intent.
