Re : Nelnet Bank Dear XXXX XXXX : Thank you for your correspondence. We have completed our review of your concerns involving Nelnet Bank XXXX Bank ). You indicated that you were a student at XXXX XXXX where the XXXX identified evidence of widespread fraud involving the use of illegal and deceptive tactics to persuade students to borrower money.
