Company: Nelnet, Inc. (OH)

I am dealing with Nelnet not properly handling my payments and costing me money in the process. Their customer service is virtually impossible to get a hold of, I've waited on hold for more than an hour and did not get through. I will describe the specifics of my problem below : My first debt payments were due on XX/XX/ and I set up auto-debit on XX/XX/. My total loan amount was {$80000.00}. I was slated to make a payment of ~ {$950.00}. Because Nelnet didn't process my payment, my loan amount due is now {$81000.00} - due to their negligence and inefficiency, my loans have grown roughly {$310.00}. Also, my {$950.00} a month payment is steep for me, so I requested a lower payment amount on XX/XX/. Their website says it takes 2 business days to process the request- it is now XXXX XXXX XXXX, and it was never processed. 

I'm greatly concerned that I have such a substantial amount of debt being managed by Nelnet.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH 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.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in XX/XX/year> 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 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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue regarding inaccurate information being reported on my credit reports by multiple credit bureaus. Despite my numerous attempts to have these errors corrected, the account in question continues to be reported with derogatory remarks and comments about foreclosure. This inaccurate reporting has severely damaged my credit score and financial standing. 

Specifically, the account should be reflected as PAID and without any foreclosure remarks. I have provided detailed evidence, including account summaries and correspondence with the creditor, indicating that the account was settled in full and no foreclosure proceedings occurred. These documents clearly demonstrate the inaccuracies and the need for correction. 

The credit bureaus involved have failed to take appropriate action to correct these errors, despite my ongoing efforts to resolve this matter. As a result, I am escalating this complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to ensure that my credit reports are accurately updated and to prevent further harm to my creditworthiness. 

Failure to address this issue promptly will leave me with no choice but to consider legal action to rectify the situation. I trust that the CFPB will assist in ensuring that the necessary corrections are made.
