Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I have been reaching out to Sallie Mae for over a year to resolve this matter. 

I called to process a payment over the phone and the representative updated my bank account information with an incorrect number...

I was not made aware of the error until the payment was declined due to error message "Account Not Found"

I asked the rep on the phone to repeat the account number back several times; however, she ensure it was correct.

Well about 38 days later they updated credit report as late because of their own personal error on 3 of my accounts...
Complaint sub-issue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

I have a 2.5-year-old fraud complain against a store card from Macy 's. I had an existing card account with them. While I was on a 3-year assignment overseas, somebody had a card issued on my existing account in their name, much how you would add a spouse to your account. They then charged {$900.00} in goods using this new card and then did not pay the balance. At the same time, I had a fraudulent credit account created with a different bank and under my name with a credit card issued to the exact same individual as the Macy 's card. This credit account was discharged as fraud very quickly. 

I suspect that the cause of the fraud was a mail forwarding service in XXXX Texas that I was using to receive my home mail while I was overseas. This would put them in the position to respond to any credit card offers and to receive my billing statements from existing accounts. 

I opened a fraud case with Macy 's but according to them it was denied because in their investigations system they labeled it as " account was created fraudulently '' which is different from " card was issued fraudulently under an existing account ''. In the meantime, they sold the debt to Citi IRU as a collection agency. Right now I have 2 organizations that deny that the problem is on their end and they blame the other company for keeping the ticket open. Meanwhile, I have faxed fraud statements, my overseas assignment letter, etc to show that I have not lived in Texas nor was I even in the United States during the time that the new card was issued under my account. However, I have to send documents to both organizations since they each believe that they are the sole account " owner '' and do not share investigation details with each other. They have also claimed that email and faxes have not arrived. 

In fact, they don't even share information with me as far as why a card was issued on my account or past billing statements so that I can verify if the purchases were made by myself or not. I have had to reconstruct the fraud incident using bits of information gleaned from conversations with the fraud investigations teams over the course of these years. 

2.5 years later, this is the only negative mark on my credit history. At {$900.00}, I could easily pay this account off. However, in doing so I would be acknowledging that the debt is legitimate and that The case file at both Macys and Citi is XXXX The person who created the card on my account is : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX

Equifax mishandled my information which has led to a breach that puts myself and millions of others at potential risk. I am extremely disappointed with how equifax has handled reporting this breach.

Complaint sub-issue: Having problems with customer service

I have repeatedly attempted to request that all of my federal loan groups be placed under the income based repayment plan. I have submitted my application for this XXXX separate times. Nelnet has communicated false information to me over the phone on over XXXX occasions causing the delay of this change taking place and causing me to have to use up to three months of hardship forbearance which I should not have had to use at all since I qualify for $ 0 monthly payments at this time due to my family 's very low income. Nelnet has claimed that they would put my loan on administrative forbearance twice since it was their error. These claims were untrue and I received calls from them weeks later stating that their representative was wrong and I do not qualify for administrative forbearance. When they call they ask for payment for the loans which become past due since they never placed the administrative forbearance on the loan that they promised to place on it. The representatives largely refuse to give me their last name, their employee ID number and anything in writing that states the promises that they make to me over the phone about the steps they are taking to get my loans on the right track. They have also coerced me into putting my loans on hardship forbearance, of which I only have a limited amount, and then denied me the opportunity to place those loans on an income based repayment plan because the loans were already on hardship forbearance. Then once the forbearance runs out they state that I owe on the loans, that I must reapply for the income based repayment plan and that if I ca n't pay the amount due then my only choice is to put them on hardship forbearance again. I 've been dealing with this issue for over 6 months and find that their staff is largely incompetent and untrustworthy. I hope to find a way to, in the future, have an agency that is reliable and trustworthy manage my loans even if that means a higher interest rate and consolidation. Nelnet 's practices are harmful to consumers and the overall feeling is like you are in the twilight zone. It seems that their departments do not know what each other are doing and that the staff that consumers can reach over the phone have had extremely unsatisfactory training in how to do their job. The root of the problem seems to be either poor training or willful deception of consumers that have little to no opportunity for recourse since documentation of the calls is not provided to the consumers and when I request documentation they state they are not allowed to provide anything to me. I feel trapped and miserable dealing with this company and disappointed that the Federal Government allows them to manage student loans. I did not choose NelNet and it seems extraordinarily unfair to have to bear the burden of their continuous mistakes and misleading information.
