Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: MD
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Federal student loan debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
In response from your statement on XX/XX/XXXX. The company GREAT LAKES offer repayment options but they deny being a debt collector, it does not make any sense. In Pursuant 15usc1692a ( 6 ) The term debt collector means any person who uses any instrumentality of interstate commerce or the mails in any business the principal purpose of which is the collection of any debts, or who regularly collects or attempts to collect, directly or indirectly, debts owed or due or asserted to be owed or due another. The balance in the GREAT LAKES account is a positive balance which means I do not owe anything. For this company is convincing me into paying for something that I do not owe is indirectly collecting a debt which would make this company a debt collector. In pursuant to 15usc 1692 ( a ) abusive practices There is abundant evidence of the use of abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices by many debt collectors. Abusive debt collection practices contribute to the number of personal bankruptcies, to marital instability, to the loss of jobs, and to invasions of individual privacy. This company is being deceptive and unfair because they deny being a debt collection agency but yet they want me the original creditor to pay for an account in a positive balance. In pursuant to 15usc 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) of congressional findings and statement of purpose states The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system The reason why this is the first statement under the U.S. code of this section is because the law knows the banking system is doing the exact opposite. GREAT LAKES is not using fairness and accurate credit reporting because I am allegedly obligated to pay for something in a positive balance of {$26000.00} which is not accurate nor fair. If I owed a debt the balance would be in a negative balance and it is not only unfair and inaccurate, but it is false and misleading information in pursuant to 15usc 1692e. This is my new evidence and proof. I am demanding this company to zero the balance and I need a response within 15 days.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
Back in XXXX of 2020, XXXX removed the 2 bankruptcies that were reporting on my credit file due to not being to able to verify it. A letter was sent to the court asking to please provide the procedure they use to verify records with the credit bureaus, the clerk of the court replied that they do not report or verify any information to any thirds party or credit bureaus. This letter was sent to all 3 credit bureaus, XXXX removed the 2 public records but XXXX and experian did not, it is very clear the court does not report to them or any credit bureaus, so their original response stating that the item was verified was either an error or a lie. Either way their reporting requirements do not comply with the FCRa law. If XXXX removed it because they could not verify the information, how did XXXX and experian do it? Please provide the documents or information with the person you spoke to or used to verify

Consumer complaint received 2021-05-14
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: AR
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I have an account I opened with wells Fargo on and around XX/XX/XXXX. Around XX/XX/XXXX while submitting an application for financing for business I was notified by the bank representative that unbeknown to be me on XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I was late on the student loan payment. 

I Immediately Contacted wells Fargo by phone first to see what this was all about and also to determine why I was not notified by phone or mail regarding this matter. I did not receive any correspondence from wells Fargo until XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter stating that they investigated my dispute and everything was accurate with NO explanation or supporting evidence as required by law. 

Then on XX/XX/XXXX more than 30 days from my initial request to investigate this inaccurate reporting. ( I am attaching the response from wells Fargo to this complaint. ) I received an email from Wells Fargo Executive Office stating that they are in receipt of the dispute and they will be getting back to me. Some of the concerns that wells fargo did not resolve with my dispute request are : 1. I was not notified of the negative item reporting as required by FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 7 ) 2. FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 8 ) gives me the right to dispute information directly with the furnisher and the furnisher wels fargo is required to provide proof to justify this reporting all I received was a canned response.

NOTE : FCRA ( FACTA ), consumers now have the right to go directly to the original creditor and ask for proof of negative information. In addition, court case opinion No. XXXX XXXX by the US Court of Appeals 9th Circuit, Nelson Vs. Chase Manhattan, the court ruled that the creditor has the responsibility to investigate and make sure that correct information is being reported to the bureaus, and that the consumer has a right to sue under the FCRA, should his or her rights be violated. 

3. Under the Care Act student loans were all placed on deferment. I am not sure if this is a public or private loan but I believe the spirit behind all Americans at the time was to help one another get passed this unfortunate time so wells Fargo to not even inform me about this late and continue to report to frivolous unverified derogatory account is a clear violation of my rights.

I also contacted wells Fargo by phone numerous time I was told my account was transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX Ext XXXX who has promised me on 3-4 different occasions that she will get back to me and still has not. 

This inaccurate and misleading derogatory has affected my ability to obtain funding and continue to support my business.
