Company: Nelnet, Inc. (FL)

I do n't understand how I can make a XXXX monthly payment and only {$20.00} gets applied towards the interest. I have federal loans as well but at least {$90.00} will pay the principal down. I make my payments 2 weeks before the due date and yet almost all of my monthly payments are going towards interest. Is this correct or am I being ripped off? The amounts every month are really inconsistent even though I pay around the same time every month. It just does n't add up.

I am writing to express my frustration and concern over the incorrect information that has been reported on my credit file. I want to make it abundantly clear that the items listed on the following pages do not pertain to any transactions I have made. It appears that someone, or some entity, has unlawfully used my personal identifying information to obtain goods, services, or money without my authorization, resulting in these erroneous entries on my credit report. I have taken the appropriate steps to address this issue. I filed a formal report with the Federal Trade Commission, which is attached to this letter, and have been in contact with the relevant agencies and creditors, who have been cooperative and guided me to this point. I understand the gravity of my request, and I want to emphasize that this is not being made in error or with any intent to deceive. I declare under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the United States, that the statements made herein are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I am fully aware that any knowing and willful misrepresentation of material facts is a federal criminal offense, punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001.

Additionally, such misstatements are also punishable as perjury under 18 U.S.C.

1621.

Despite my efforts to file a police report, I was informed by my county that, without specific information on the individual or entity responsible for this identity theft, they would not file the report. This has left me in a difficult position, but I am determined to clear my name and correct my credit file. I appreciate your time and attention to this matter and trust that you will take the necessary actions to rectify these inaccuracies. For security purposes, I have included a copy of my identification on a separate page.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Experian disputing a late payment reported by XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX5 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : I made my payments on time for the billing cycle, which was due on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. However, a late payment of XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and 120 days was incorrectly reported. 
I have provided evidence of this timely payment, including bank statements showing that the payment was processed well before the due date. 
There appears to have been a clerical or administrative error that resulted in the late payment being reported across all three bureaus, despite no actual delinquency on the account. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Experian has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report.

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I noticed on my credit report that an incorrect collections balance from XXXX Collections was reported for {$760.00}. I have contacted XXXX XXXX who was the original creditor, the collections agency reporting the debt, and even my insurance company to see if there was any debt from XX/XX/year>. None of them can provide anything, the original creditor and my insurance company have absolutely no record of how this debt was incurred and both have their own active investigations opened right now. The original creditor has no record of what the collections agency is reporting and has escalated their investigation to the highest level. I disputed this with XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion and all XXXX disputes were denied twice in a row within just a day or 2. I even called and told them what was happening while the 2nd disputes were still open. I have now opened all 3 disputes, for all 3 bureaus for the 3rd time. Their lack of research is appalling, I have done all of the research on my own and gotten this being investigated with the creditor and even the insurance company completely on my own while all 3 credit bureaus have repeatedly said its been confirmed accurate by the collections agency. This confirms that none of the 3 credit bureaus bothered to so much as contact the original creditor for proof of the debt, if they had then they would know that there is no debt they have any record of reporting for me from XX/XX/year>.

I was unemployed so I contacted Ocwen about an unemployment forbearance. I paid every one of my forbearance payments every month. After the forbearance period ended, Ocwen declared that I was 5 months behind on my regular payment amount, placing me in an impossible position and attempting to force me into foreclosure. They are demanding many thousands of dollars at once in order to " reinstate '' my account, which I had been paying my payments on every month until then.
