Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I have filed numerous complaints with numerous government entities including the cfpb and the problems are still not fixed. I have filed complaints directly with the credit reporting agencies I have filed complaints with Nelnet directly I have filed complaints with the Department of Education and the problem is ignored and not corrected. This is my final attempt before I contact a lawyer and I become part of a class action lawsuit to sue Nelnet. 

I have repeatedly asked for the past 12 to 18 months worth of statements an information showing payments that I have made how they were applied and previous interest rate information how it was calculated in all kinds of information that I have not received and it is not in my account. I am sick to death of asking for XXXX that I am required to have by law! There are no statements there are no details there is no information. On top of that I continue to make payments that it or not reported to my credit bureaus. My loan has has decreased because I have been paying down the loan and there is no interest accumulated yet none of this information transferring over to my credit reports. They are only reporting that I am on time they are not reporting that I'm making payments which I am. They sent me some ridiculous response and I'm going to attach to this complaint about my address and other things that was not even part of my complaints and they completely ignored the second part of my complaint which dealt with the credit reporting problems. They also keep flat-out lying and stating that they are uploading statements and all of us other lies that they are not in my account. I want this XXXX fixed now I have had enough and I'm going to go to the media as well. They are playing games even in the response that I have attached to this complaint they tell me to detail my complaint again and send them more information which I have multiple times. I am not playing games they are to report what they have to the Credit Agencies immediately and accurately. They are also reporting an address that I have never lived at and they keep reporting it to the Credit Agencies an address in XXXX Michigan.

Complaint sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

I went to XXXX XXXX located in XXXX, Washington to purchase a used car. I was already pre-approved through XXXX XXXX for the loan and had a check in hand with me. I was putting down {$5000.00} as a down payment. The guy said he needed to run my credit. I asked why? Im pre-approved through my bank already. He said its a soft hit for the check to verify it. I said okay, No need to check my credit for a loan approval. They took my ssn, drivers license and information and after 20 minutes I got a notice to my email saying there was a inquiry to my credit report. I was angry because I had just got a inquiry getting the loan approved through my bank. 

The employee at the dealer kept lying saying he didnt pull my credit report and it was just a soft hit to verify the check. I said why didnt you call the bank to verify the check. He said they always do a soft verification for checks. He was lying. Another couple was getting a car and presented a check and I didnt hear them tell them they would have to check their credit for the check. 

They kept saying they didnt do a hard hit but they did. I went back and forth with the manager trying to get it removed over the phone for several weeks. He said he would take care of it and never did. The credit bureaus dont allow you to dispute a hard hit online. You have to send in a letter and go through several inconvenience steps when this should have never happened. I want this inquiry removed. I feel they only verified me because I was a XXXX guy presenting this check!
