Consumer complaint received 2023-10-19
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: WA
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/2023 I submitted an application to Nelnet via StudentAid.gov to be placed on the SAVE plan, an income-based repayment plan for student loans that was recently made available. 

According to StudentAid.gov, Nelnet completed their application review on XX/XX/2023. However, according to Nelnet, they received my application on XX/XX/2023, and are still in the process of reviewing it. 

There are two issues here : One, the Department of Education sent the wrong application to Nelnet, which isn't Nelnet 's fault, but I did call Nelnet on XX/XX/2023 to ask whether I would still be placed on the SAVE plan given that the application did not even include " SAVE '' as an option. The representative told me I would be placed on the lowest cost plan, which is the SAVE plan. I also waited on hold for over two hours to speak to a representative, which I have heard is a very common occurrence. 

Two, Nelnet is taking so long to process my application that I was forced to make a payment at a higher rate based on a plan I had selected before the pandemic. The representative was unable to give me any kind of timeline for when they will get the application processed, other than " hopefully before your next payment is due '' ( to paraphrase ). 

I, and many other people, are currently stuck paying more than we would otherwise need to if Nelnet were processing these applications in a timely manner. I applied for SAVE a full seven weeks before my first payment was due, and they still have not processed the application. 

I also am continuing to accrue interest at the normal rate because I am not yet on the SAVE plan ( which subsidizes unpaid interest beyond the minimum payment ), thus costing me more in the long run.

The representative was also unable to tell me why StudentAid.gov 's dates don't line up with Nelnet 's dates in terms of when I submitted this application.

Complaint:
I purchased a car loan from US AUTO SALES, never missed a payment! But when they defaulted and " sold '' their loans they created fictitious account balances. After almost a year and a half of paying the loan I was told my the Buying company ( WEST LAKE PORTFOLIO MANG. ) that I would have to start my loan all over again equating to {$22000.00}. They also said I had been behind months before with US AUTO SALES but my bank statements and receipts say otherwise. I asked for the original documents, transfer agreement, payment history. None were provided. Westlake Portfolio has already begun reporting late payments to my CREDIT!!!! This makes absolutely no sense as I was never late and now my credit is in shambles because a company went bankrupt!! I already tred creating a suit myself but was ghosted by my lawyer randomly.
