Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Don't agree with fees charged
Company: Nelnet, Inc. (NY)

Nelnet is servicing my loan. The loan was guaranteed by a private bank but now Nelnet owns is. Total loan was {$8000.00} at 6.8 percent interest. I am now looking at {$15000.00} owed after paying them {$130.00} a month and without any statements or fee explanations. Because they are regulated by the Dept of Education they are not allowed to refund XXXX of the interest or fees. I spoke to the guarantor and they said they would be able to refund interest and fees if the loan was still in their name. Nelnet is corrupt. There should be some consumer law that if they threaten to garnish my wages they should be showing me what they are garnishing my wages for.

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I attempted to use my debit card to purchase gas for my car and it declined. When I called the debit card customer service line, they informed me that there was a fraudulent transaction for XXXX dollars and some change. I was then told that my card was indeed blocked and that I would be mailed out a new card in 2 business days. I also advised that my online account could not be unlocked until I received my new card. I then called back on XXXX to be transferred to the fraud department. At this time I was told that my card would be mailed in XXXX to 10 business days. I called again on XXXX to make sure my card was mailed out and to ask about automatic payments i have leaving my account. I was assured that my account was blocked and no one could charge my card. On XXXX when I called I was told again that my card would be mailed in XXXX to 10 business days. I was also told that my card had been charged the remaining balance to XXXX dollars fraudulently. I asked the representative how this happened as I was informed on XXXX that my account was blocked. The Rep. then transferred me to their fraud department to seek more information. I spoke with a gentlemen in the fraud department that then advised me that I was not the person my account stated I was. He stated that public information and my account states that I am a woman and that he did not believe I was who I had said I was. Again this is after I verified all the information that was asked of me several times and after I was given access to my online account after the bank blocked the account. The fraud representative asked me to verify my last XXXX digits to my cell phone and then he would call me back to make sure I was who I said I was. He hung the phone up and never called me back. I am now being told that I can not file a fraud claim on the over {$400.00} in fraudulent transactions that were made on my account because the bank refuse to acknowledge that I am the account holder even after I verified all the information needed to access my account.
