Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc. (WI)

Nelnet indicated that my payment was past due ( XX/XX/XXXX ), even though I have auto payments set up. Fearing that I missed a payment and then would retain my auto-payment discount they offered I proceeded to submit a manual payment ( XX/XX/XXXX ). I called them the next day ( XX/XX/XXXX ) ; they explained that they had an issue with auto-payment, but that it would backdate once the payment went through. I requested they then delete my manual payment. They confirmed they would. The payment still went through. I called again XX/XX/XXXX and they told me they could not do anything and when they transferred me they hung up. 

I filed a complaint, and they responded and said on XX/XX/XXXX that they changed the charge to apply to my loan with the highest interest rate. I followed up, and they said the change would take a month to indicate on my account. It is now XX/XX/XXXX, and the change has not been made.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX. XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

I demand the late payment reported in months that are reported late to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXXXXXX. XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

I have been paying my loans since payments started back up in XXXX. I have called multiple times and am put on lengthy hold times with no resolution. 

I set up auto pay and get confirmation email payments but apparently none of them have gone through. I have received no messages indicating that this was the case. Then I get a random email saying I havent made payments. 

I contacted aidvantage and they said everything was fine so I kept up my auto payments. Still no notifications on payments not going through. 

I get another random email saying I havent made a payment, yet Ive been getting all these confirmation emails on these monthly payments.

I call again and they said my bank rejected the payments. They havent. My bank asks for reference # s for the rejected transactions and now aidvantage is saying they do not have that.

Both sides are saying its the others fault and Im sitting here stuck with payments and late charges and cant get anyone to answer and when they do answer, theyre unhelpful.

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding unfair credit practices. that i have experienced. The actions taken by Ally Financial, have negatively impacted MY consumer report and has VIOLATED.my rights as a consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to be more specific, 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) states that the consumer report does not include information solely as to transactions or experiences ( payment history, charge off status ), between the consumer ( myself ) and the person ( Ally Financial, Inc ) making the report.

I recently obtained a copy of my credit reports.on ( XX/XX/2023 ) and discovered several inaccuracies and discrepancies that are ADVERSELY.affecting MY CREDITWORTHINESS. However, in Ally Financial , Inc terms and conditions they agreed not to share my information with non affiliates to which they stated the the credit agencies is an affiliate. XXXX, XXXX and XXXX is not an affiliate of Ally Financial , Inc because they are NOT " credit bureaus ''. The only true credit bureau is the CFPB and they DO NOT furnish consumer reports as stated in federal law. If they believe otherwise, I demand that they send me proof that those consumer reporting agencies are indeed bureaus and it must be written in federal law. Additionally, I demand to be sent the book entries security of this account to validate this Alleged Debt. If they can not provide this, then they must update this account on all consumer reporting agencies such as XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX any and all other 3rd party agencies. AS Paid As agreed. Further more,. There are two inaccuracies with this account. The first is both XXXX and XXXX are reporting two completely different information which is already grounds for removal. The second inaccuracy is that this account is marked as a charge off / cancelled debt and that can not be reported due to the fact that the IRS considers charge off as income. So in addition to validating this debt by sending me the book entries security, I am now requesting a copy of my 1099c that was filed when this debt was canceled/ charged off on XX/XX/2023 as I never received it. Lastly pursuant to the fair credit reporting act, to be more specific 15 USC 1681b, This also serves as my consumer instruction to update this account to paid as agreed, on my consumer reporting a.k.a credit reports.
