Complaint:
I've been in the process of XXXX loan forgiveness. Was transferred from XXXX  to mohela even though I was already past the XXXX payments. Everything is taking months to process, it's impossible to get someone on the phone to explain what is happening, and the entire process has been the least transparent experience I've ever had with any loan or financial service in my life. It's not all on Mohela, also dept of ed., but it seriously undermines the entire point of the reforms to the system in the first place.

Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I initially sent a series of correspondence to the Credit Reporting Agencies as well as the Actual Creditor.

I am fully aware of how reporting works and found proof of non-compliance in accordance to the E-Oscar and Metro 2 format procedures ignoring to report. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account ID : XXXX The account is invalid and unverifiable. I demand that it be deleted from my credit report. 
If no proof of debt exists and there is no verifiable information, then the information may not be reported to the credit bureaus nor reported by them under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Obviously, this incorrect account information can not be verified so therefore is absolutely must be deleted from my credit report or you will be in violation of the FCRA. 

Please see attached documents of proof of me sending the letter and the agencies receiving them. In addition to that, please note that they are neglecting my request to modify accounts, which would lead to changes on all agency reports ( as per the carbon copy rules of E-Oscar updates ). 

It is very urgent that you please investigate and resolve as this is harmful to my character and is obstructing my capability to obtain financing.I already was denied by applying for a lease .That happened 3 times in a last 60 days already and I am financially hurt.

Complaint:
I do not think that NAVIENT completely understands the importance of reporting the account accurately. After submitting my dispute for this account same information was provided and it seems that nothing was reinvestigated. The credit has a different report for payment history that varies to the credit bureaus. NAVIENT has been very inconsistent and irresponsible on reporting this account. I attached my specific dispute from this creditor. Please report this account with 100 % accuracy that is important to reflect my true credit score. 

I do not want any invalid, missing, and inaccurate information on my credit report.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: CA
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:
I have a student loan, which was recently purchased and is being serviced by NelNet. On XX/XX/2023 I made three additional payments to three subgroups of my loan, separate and independent from my required monthly payment, which was made on time on the date of XX/XX/2023, which included mandatory allocations towards interest as well some to principal. The additional amounts were paid to subgroup AB, a total of {$19000.00}, subgroup AF, a total of {$24000.00}, and subgroup AG, a total of {$13000.00}. When reviewing my statement a few days later I noted that the majority of those additional payments were allocated to interest, and I contacted NelNet on XX/XX/2023 to enquire about allocating those payments instead strictly to the principal amount of the subgroups of those loans. When calling, I was kept on hold for over 60 minutes, and when speaking to their representative I was informed by their representative that all payments must pay off interest first, and that I would not be allowed to allocate those additional payments to the principal of the loans in those subgroups. When asked for clarification as to why the additional payments may not be made strictly to principal I was abruptly placed on hold without warning nor further instruction/discussion. I wish to file multiple complaints, first for NelNets unwillingness to allocate additional funds at my discretion, which, per my conversation with the CFPB representative, I have a right to so do. I also wish to file a complaint for their unacceptable customer service, in not only having wait times of greater than one hour, but for their lack of service and direction when speaking to their representatives. I finally wish to file a complaint regarding their dishonest practices, as it appears I do, in fact, have the right to allocate those funds to principal at my discretion. I would also remark that NelNet 's online web payment portal does not allow the borrower to direct where additional payments are to be paid to ( e.g. directed to principal vs interest ), which should be remedied. Their payment portal is also misleading, in that it lists under current balance only the principal left, not the entirety of the loan ( principal plus interest ). I have uploaded a screenshot of their payment portal, which provides example both of no option for direction of additional fund payments, but also to display the discrepancy between what they consider " current balance, '' vs what is the actual total balance of the loan ( as exemplified in the second screenshot, which includes the entirety of the subgroup loan via their online statement ).
