Complaint:
Hello. 
Normally, I submit my payments a month in advance, and I had been paying {$220.00} consistently the month prior. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted the payment of XXXX, but that amount was to pay the month for XX/XX/XXXX. For some reason, Nelnet allocated all the payments to one group and not both. Perhaps they use that as additional principal when they shouldn't. 
When I scheduled the payment for the month of XXXX, the website said that I had an amount due of XXXX for XXXX. After three different phone calls to get this clear, I was told that the payment I made on XX/XX/XXXX went all to one group and the second group did not get satisfied. I was a little confused and I was explained to provide some additional instruction to disburse the amount correctly to both loan and not to just one. 
This week ( week ending on XX/XX/XXXX ) I started to check my finance to schedule the next payment that was due on XX/XX/XXXX. I checked between Sunday and Monday and the payment due said XXXX. When I logged on on XX/XX/XXXX to schedule the payment, the amount was changed to XXXX. I called an advisor, asked to speak to a manager, spoke with XXXX and he said that, after I made a payment of XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, both loan groups were not satisfied??? I paid XXXX plus the amount that I needed to pay to satisfy the second group and I still get charged for the next bill???? So based on the last statement I owned XXXX for a group A and XXXX for group B. How come I will keep owning to these groups when I paid the unsatisfied amount and in addition to that, the corresponding XXXX for the month of XXXX? 
After my conversation with the supervisormanager, he explained to me that paying the XXXX will take care of this and then the next payment due date will be XX/XX/XXXX. So on XX/XX/XXXX, I paid the XXXX. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I check again to see what the status was and now it was showing that I was due XXXX for XX/XX/XXXX. So I called again, spoke I believe with XXXX ( or XXXX - she was very nice ), explained to me that again all the payment made on XX/XX/XXXX went to one group, but group B was not. So she said that she will reallocate that amount so both groups are satisfied and that should take care of the problem and it should reflect XX/XX/XXXX as the new date. 
Today XX/XX/XXXX I logged in to check the status because the advisor suggested to check and monitor on the site the payment to ensure that everything went well. Right now I am back with a due date of XX/XX/XXXX for the amount of XXXX. 
I need someone to help me on what to do because I am trying to do the right thing, be on time of my payments and all I get are explanations of how the interest worksaccrued but things are not getting better. Those payments were supposed to be used to satisfy the next payment as scheduled and not the be used as additional principal. I am not resolving this matter with Nelnet and I need help.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
