Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
The lender, Select Portfolio Servicing sent a letter out to me after I was denied a loan modification. The letter was dated XX/XX/2018 and had options in which I choose to short sale my home. The letter also stated to have the requested documents back to SPS no later then XX/XX/2018. I sent the signed documents to my agent XXXX XXXX and she sent all of signed docs and listing agreement to the lender on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/2018. My agent then called SPS to make sure the docs had been received and she was told we longer were eligible for a short sale, that my only options were cash for keys or a reinstatement of the account. The letter SPS sent and it is attached, clearly states we had until XX/XX/2018 to get the requested documents in for the process of the short sale. My agent was also told by the reps that the letter is generalized and the options offered expired. How would any consumer know that? Where on this letter does it state my options would be expired before the date they gave me to have all of my documentation in? The letter states to reach out to the lender within 30 days of the date of the letter whish is dated XX/XX/2018, that's not 30 days, we just received the letter last week. I would like for upper management to review this file and letter that they sent to me and I am requesting that I would be allowed to short sale my property to avoid the set foreclosure date they have set. This is a bate and switch for sure, I have never seen any kind of trickery like this ever and it can not possibly be legal, I am seeking legal representation on this matter.

Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
Over 30 days ago, I sent letters regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. Up until this point, I haven't received any word or feedback from the consumer reporting agencies on the status of my disputes or complaints. I feel like I'm being ignored and my disputes are being taken lightly. In section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days is a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 30 days, so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately. My information was also impacted by the XXXX data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person. My name is XXXX XXXX. Any variation of my name besides that is not me and I demand it be deleted from my consumer report. The address that I live at is XXXX XXXX XXXX Any variation of that address that says otherwise is not correct and shall be removed from my consumer report.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: TX
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid off an entire federal student loan in full via Nelnet 's website ( {$2000.00} USD ). I immediately got an email from Nelnet that they received the payment. On XX/XX/XXXX, the transaction posted to my bank account. I was tracking the payment for around 3-5 business days ( checking daily, multiple times a day ) excited that I paid off a sizable amount. I found it odd that the amount I paid stayed in " Processing '' on Nelnet 's website when the payment already posted to my bank account the day after I made the payment. 

Sometime during the 3-5 days, I logged in and the transaction was nowhere to be seen on the site. I called the next day. The first person I talked to had no idea what I was talking about, it was almost as if I was being gaslit that I hadn't made a payment. I asked to be escalated and the next person knew exactly what I was talking about, somehow saw the payment, and submitted a request to have my balance be updated. I was told the update to my balance would take 2-4 days. 4 days pass and I call again. They tell me it will be an additional week. It has been 6 days. There has been no communication from Nelnet and no updates to my balance. I am frustrated that the next time they will tell me it will be another week or they " don't know '' why it's not processing AGAIN. I paid well in advance to avoid interest payments and yet we are approaching the beginning of interest kicking back in.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I have been in contact with Discover and they had advised me on XX/XX/2021 that the amount that they had offered for a settlement was 50 % of the balance. They were contacted various times and this was not the amount advised as I had the information written. I'm in a significant hardship due a permanent health condition. The agent was advised that I was not able to come up with the funding which they advised was to settle at 65 % of the balance and would not change this amount. I have secured a amount that is close to the 50 % which is 35 days subsequent to the date I contacted the credit card. The position they have taken is to advise that they will not honor the 50 % which was not advised and kept requesting a minimum payment to secure the settlement which is higher than the 50 % now at 60 %. I have secured money from a family member to settle the debt and am formally requesting help from CFPB for the credit card company to honor what they advised would be the amount to settle with me. The last representative in XX/XX/2021 has misled me and not advised of the amount the representative advised on XX/XX/2021. Discover attempted to increase the settlement to 60 % and make the payments extend to 36 months to make it seem as if they were working with me but they are not as the increase of 10 percent is significant when do not have income.
