Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

I have been a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX student at XXXX University in Virginia since Fall  2018. I received federal student loans to pay all of the tuition and related school expenses. I finished the first semester, but we began hearing rumors that XXXX had defrauded the students and misappropriated all of our funds, including amounts held as as students account credits early into the Spring semester. On XX/XX/XXXX, we received written notification from XXXX that the school was closing immediately. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received notification from the Department of Education that my loans for the Spring term were cancelled. As a result I filed the discharge paperwork through my servicer, Nelnet. Arrangements have been made for most of XXXX students, including me, to transfer to XXXX XXXX XXXX in DC as of XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed by Nelnet that the loans were not cancelled and I was now in repayment status ( grace ) because they have decided that the school is not really closed despite XXXX actually ceasing operation and having a trustee appointed. They will not allow me to speak to their claims department, but they can not explain their decision. This is either a case of complete ineptitude on their part or their compensation model is based on collection activity, thus they are motivated by blatant self interest.

Received legal statement/ from Discover Student Loans regarding CFPB legal action and settlement information for account holders. This letter contained information regarding my account, stating that it was eligible for a {$75.00} account credit for applicable servicing years. I have yet to see this credit applied to my remaining balance. I have called on XXXX separate occasions to inquire about when and how this amount will be applied. They have told me that the {$75.00} was applied to my XXXX XXXX statement, however, all deducted payments were made by me and my checking account funds. When I called the second time, I was passed around to XXXX departments and made to feel ignorant about their financial procedures and told that a special statement would be created to illustrate how this {$75.00} credit had been applied. To the best of my knowledge, all deductions to my principal account balance have come from my personal checking account. I have just received this " special statement '' and it is nothing more than loan information, original disbursement information and contains information about credit reporting. Nothing about your judgment against them for their illegal servicing practices with their student loan borrowers. I have had many issues with them over the duration of our contractual agreement, including upping my interest rate to above what they currently offer to new borrowers, taking additional payments on my account and applying them to interest, however, they were additional payments made to be applied to the principal, furthermore, I was instructed by their representatives to seek out plasma donation sites for income when I was out of work in XXXX and asking for a 30 day deferral.

I did that and was called a month later saying I was late and I now needed to send in XXXX payments or it would go against my credit report.

Each call with them says it is being recorded so there should be proof as to what im saying.
