Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: OK
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with the fees charged

Complaint:
Nelnet purchased my loan from Great Lakes. When covid hit, i opted to continue making my scheduled payments as i was not impacted by the pandemic in a negative manner that others were. However they chose to not charge me interest. When it got sold to Nelnet, i am now seeing capitalized interest from what i presume is the covid forbearance period. I feel it is deceitful and unfair to charge this when i was given no other option, especially at such high rates. I emailed nelnet when the transferred occurred, but never recieved a response that i was able to find. I am requesting the removal of the capitalized interest as i never entered into an agreement for this.
