Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc. (GA)

I paid off my student loans in full on XX/XX/XXXX. The payment processed on XX/XX/XXXX. I realized that I accidentally overpaid by {$10000.00}, because the payoff calculator on Nelnet 's website I used to determine my final payment didn't take into account a payment I had pending. I emailed XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX requesting help and provided my loan number and details about my case and got no reply. I used the website customer service form on XX/XX/XXXX to request assistance and got an automated reply asking me to call the hotline on XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email in response to something ( I'm not sure what ) asking me to explain my situation if my issue hadn't been resolved, which I did, and received zero response. I called Nelnet repeatedly the week I made the payment, and finally spoke to a customer service representative within a week of making the payment. I was on hold for at least an hour before speaking to the rep. That representative told me he would escalate my issue to management. I received no follow up. I called again in XXXX and spoke to a billing agent, who told me refunds take 4-8 weeks, which is totally unacceptable. I told her I can't wait months to be refunded {$10000.00}, and she told me there's nothing that can be done about it. It's been approximately 8 weeks and I haven't heard anything about my refund -- Nelnet should not be allowed to keep refunds for months!

I have items passed on that should be taken out or blocked. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate any records recorded on an ID THEFT REPORT. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more. I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Product: Debt collection — Federal student loan
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: IMMEDIATE RECOVERY GROUP, INC (TN)

After successfully completing my adult education and securing a career that allows a salary to begin paying back my school loan debt to the Dept. of Education, I shared a long call with the collection client handling my account with the Dept. of Edu., named Immediate Credit Recovery , Inc. During the call, I was able to secure a monthly payment plan of {$500.00} on the correct amount of debt owed of {$57000.00}. 
On both the government letterhead and the collection company 's letterhead, this is the correct amount shown as due and to be collected. All seemed great, now. I had talked with them, worked out and began paying on the re-payment plan, and was so happy to have the better career and paying back what was borrowed. 
Then, in XX/XX/XXXX, the collection agency sends a new letterhead with an unexplained new amount due, {$68000.00}. No explanations, just quietly changed the amount due to a nearly {$14000.00} extra profit on their part. I called and talked with a person with the collection complaint department for my state, and he carefully explained that unethical collectors will, sometimes, change the amount due. The idea is that since the agreement has been made, most people just stay locked into making their payments and forget about the loan. I saw a XXXX XXXX episode, where he said the same thing. He implored people to save every piece of writing from collection companies and compare for changes. He and the person from the state were right. I was happy n content that I had an agreement and was making payments as planned. But, luckily, I looked at the statement, and without notification or explanation, they added {$16000.00} +/-. 
I have all documentation from the Dept. of Education to show the correct amount due, and from the collection agency, that showed the correct amount then the increased amount, too. All on letterhead from the company. 
I was so proud to have been successfully paying on a target debt amount and watching it go down. Now, such devious behavior that was mentioned on XXXX XXXX show and by the state dept. of consumer affairs has happened to me. I 'm proud to have used my school loans to better my career and to have begun faithfully paying it back. But, such changing of numbers has hurt my encouragement. Just like the XXXX unethical changing of numbers and overcharging, Immediate Credit Recovery has had many complaints filed with other states and agencies, as I learned from talking with them. Please help.
