Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Nelnet reported me delinquent in XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. They claimed to have sent me emails and mail concerning payments that were due but I never recieved them. I have not changed my address or email address as they try to say I have. I have had my gmail account dating back past XXXX. When I spoke with Nelnet they said my payments weren't due for 6 months or unless I was reenrolled into school. When I spoke with them over the phone they have no explanation for why this was not the case and claim they do not have a record of me contacting them. I have been told by Nelnet that I had no payments due, that my account was up to date, and I would have no payments due. This was inaccurate information as they have put me as delinquent for those two months and have significantly lowered my credit for it. I have never made a payment to Nelnet because I have been finishing my degree and have always been up to date with my loans since I have had them as my loan servicer since XXXX. The company claims that even though they gave the wrong information they won't change their reporting and I would have to prove I was in a " coma/dying in a hospital or active military '' during the time they claimed I was delinquent. I was enrolled in school Fall XXXX and Summer XXXX and was told my payments weren't due until XX/XX/XXXX unless I was enrolled in school which I was by XX/XX/XXXX at the University of XXXX XXXX  which was before my first payment was due. This delinquency is inaccurate and they refuse to take accountability for their mistake and remove this from my credit report.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the 3Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you. They have shown negligence and an act of refusal of complying with my request. I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, to provide proof, documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to correct and update the items which are erroneous and unverified. Their unfavorable and unacceptable actions have been hurting my credit scores immensely.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with fees

I noticed my amount due never got much lower so I started to review my statements and found a recurring {$95.00} charge on my statements, called XXXX XXXX. 

I immediately called Citibank who directed me to XXXX XXXX division and the agent was very evasive, told me I signed up for it and they would not refund those fees ( which amount to thousands of dollars at this point ). 

She also said she would send me proof that I signed up, which of course I never received because I never signed up for this. 

After doing some digging, I discovered that this exact product/service was part of unfair and deceptive credit card practices that Citibank got sued for and lost in 2015.

If this has been on my account since prior to 2015 ( which it has ) then I should be refunded. 

Thank you for the help, I feel I have been taken advantage of and victimized.

AES ( American Education Services ) is trying to collect a debt that is no longer owned by the loan holder that they claim is the loan holder ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I spoke to several people at AES as I was trying to pay a debt that was originally placed on my bankruptcy and resolved, however, I was told its a possibility of it re-surfacing. After speaking to AES and them telling me they were not the loan holder and they could not change anything with my loan, I asked who is the loan holder and contacted who they said is my loan holder which is XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX said they do not own my loan and have no records of it. I then called back to AES and was told, " no one owns my loan ''. I now know that they are just a collection agency trying to collect a debt that was resolved in my bankruptcy in XX/XX/2009. I want them to take this off my credit and to stop harassing me.

To whom it may concern,XX/XX/2019 I woke up to an email that a new XXXX XXXX account had been opened up under my name Come the days to follow I began receiving numerous notifications from the credit bureaus of more fraudulent hard credit pulls.

Ive tried contacting XXXX and still havent received a response. I dont know why I didnt have to verify the change first because now Im still here locked out of my account. 

To date, here are the actions Ive taken so far ... 
I called XXXX XXXX  about the opened bank account immediately after I found out. They informed me they had done their part to make sure the bank account would be closed and no further accounts would be opened with my information. 

I then made sure to call and place a credit freeze as well as a fraud alert with all three credit bureaus. 

After finding more credit inquires, I called XXXX as well as Citibank to make a report. Both companies assured me that no credit cards or accounts will be opened in my name. 

I received a letter in the mail from CitiBank that mentioned they were unable to verify the accuracy of the credit information on my account, therefore not proceeding forward with the application. That letter will be attached. 

I took it to sign up with XXXX XXXX XXXX as a precaution for any further actions that may arise. Ill attach a screen shot as well from my XXXX XXXX account showing the reported credit inquiry information.
