Consumer complaint received 2018-07-22
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: GA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Problem lowering your monthly payments

Complaint:
Over the years, by Nelnet, I was guided to forbearance without a clear understanding of the consequences of interest capitalization. I was told that my loan is simple interest. Even though I am financially prudent and astute, the true meaning of interest capitalization just became clear. 

My credit score went down 50 points from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, because my student loan debt increased. When I contacted Nelnet today, XX/XX/XXXX, for the first time, interest capitalization was clearly explained. Interest capitalization is the reason my loan debt increased, and my credit score decreased by 50 points. 

Also, Nelnet lost my Loan Forgiveness application for {$17.00}, XXXX. The forgiveness process, including when the application was lost and resubmitted, took from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. Nelnet accrued and capitalized interest during the time the application was lost and while the forgiveness process completed. A Nelnet adviser said today, XX/XX/XXXX that interest accrues at {$4.00} a day so for the approximately 6 months the process took from submission, being lost, and processed the accrued interest is approximately {$830.00}. 

Furthermore, I received two almost identical letters regarding a single forbearance. One letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX and the other XX/XX/XXXX. The 1st letter said the estimated interest to accrue was {$.00}. The second letter said accrued interest was {$4900.00}. Scanned copies are attached. 

Additionally, on XX/XX/XXXX, a Nelnet adviser said that my 10 year loan repayment was {$170.00}. After checking my account today, XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered that the payment term is 233 months instead of 120 months, is {$190.00} instead of {$170.00}, and I could pay more than {$20000.00} interest on a {$25000.00} debt. 

I need to make much higher payments to avoid further interest capitalization financial damage. This appears unethical.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
account : XXXX XXXX - XXXX I didn't give the credit reporting agencies permission to report some of the accounts I'm trying to get removed. This is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). This law states that a consumer reporting agency can only provide a consumer report with the written instructions of the consumer. This violation can lead to identity theft, which is concerning.

According to 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( l ), a credit card can be any device used to obtain money, property, labor, or services on credit. Therefore, if I didn't give a company permission to share my credi
t card information ( like my ID or SSN ) with a credit reporting agency, this is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ).

This law requires that a consumer reporting agency must block the reporting of any information in my file that results from alleged identity theft. The agency has to do this not later than four business days after receiving appropriate proof of my identity, a copy of an identity theft report, identification of the information by me, and a statement from me that the information is not related to any transaction by me.

Complaint:
Hello, On XX/XX/2018, I made two identical wire transfers of $ CAD XXXX each from my companys bank account in XXXX to my wife and my personal accounts at XXXX and Capital One in the US. The two transfers were made in interval of several minutes. 

To my surprise, the amounts in USD which were received at each bank were entirely different. In XXXX, I received USD XXXX, which was calculated at the currency exchange rate of XXXX XXXX/USD. In Capital One, I have received USD XXXX, as the conversion rate they used was XXXX. So the difference was nearly {$3000.00} for two identical transactions of foreign exchange conversions made at the same time. Please see the attachments showing the two transfers. 

While understandably it is likely to have differences between two banks rates, the difference was substantial. I looked at rates range on XX/XX/XXXX, and could see that the lower rate that day was XXXX. Please see : https : XXXX I have therefore approached my local Capital One bank, who contacted their wire department for further explanation. The answer I was provided is that Capital One set their own rates which are unrelated to the trading day rates! I was very unhappy with this answer, and filed a complaint at Capital One Customer Care. I have explained that when a person makes an international wire transfer, he can reasonably expect to have the funds converted into local currency based on a trading day range ( even if it would be the lowest rate on that day ). However, Capital One used a considerably lower rate to convert my CAD to USD XXXX vs XXXX ( the day lower rate ), which it has determined arbitrarily. 

The response I have received from their Customer Care department was the same as the one I received from the wire department Capital One uses their own rates, and that the rate they used was correct. I responded that doing this intentionally is even worse the bank knowingly overcharges its customers when converting funds from other currencies. 

I therefore believe this is a very unfair and unlawful behavior of a bank to determine their own rates regardless of the days market rates. This behavior resulted in a loss of nearly {$3000.00}. 

I hope you are able to assist. 
XXXX XXXX
