That 's negative XXXX dollars? .The bank is not open at this time, so I call a XXXX number for this bank, by the way is Key Bank and I live in XXXX XXXX Or.

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

Hello- I'm writing to express my sincere concern that the U.S. Department of Education contract with Nelnet , student loan servicing company. This company is bewideringly opaque around application of payments to interest vs principle across different subloans ( which one can not access except by special request -- and usually very long phone calls ). Astoundingly, the company do not post the current loan balances ( principles ) on their website, unlike other loan or mortgage company -- making trying to determine remaining principle time consuming and challenging. Similarly, trying to understand end dates for repayment is nigh impossible. 

I just spent XXXX hours on the phone trying to understand why none of my {$1300.00} per month payment was applied to principle for 15 months, whereas previously over the prior several years about half was applied to interest and half to principle. The first call started with being put on hold for XXXX minutes and ended with me being hung up on after I ( very politely ) tried to understand the confusing explanation ( I don't think she actually knew ). The second call lasted XXXX minutes with about half the time on hold before I was transferred to a manager who appeared to have a better understanding but was still not able to actually answer my question, rather repeating that it was due to the company 's automated algorithm that was designed to benefit the consumer. Unlikely. 

For a company of Netnet 's size, the only plausible explanation for their lack of transparency is financial incentive. Which, I don't need to point out, comes at the expense of the consumer. Luckily, I'm reasonably financially stable and can somewhat navigate the complexities of the Netnet ecosystem, so not extremely important personally. But, frankly, I'm appalled when I consider the large number of consumers that have more limited finances or have difficulty understanding the Netnet system. A quick scan of internet reaffirms the highly irregular nature of this company although, again, concerningly, the other government contracted student loan servicing companies have similarly poor reputations. 

Given student loans are an integral part of the education system in this country, the fact that our federal government contract and indirectly condone such egregious companies is breathtaking. A meaningful investigation into these practices is past due.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (OR)

Please refer to case XXXX also. Yesterday, XXXX XXXX, 2017, I received a response from XXXX in regard to my response to them on their claim that they were unable to verify my current address. 

In my response to them ( attached as exhibit on above mentioned complaint ) I specifically requested that they DO NOT provide me with my annual free credit report, as I wished to request that at a later date, rather that they ONLY use the information to confirm my current address. In spite of this, they issued my report to me, now making it impossible to re-request my report at a later time for free. 

In addition, I requested a credit freeze on my account and was issued a credit freeze PIN, which was confirmed by them in a letter sent to me via USPS mail. I am STILL UNABLE TO CHANGE MY PIN either online or via telephone, and I AM STILL UNABLE TO ACTUALLY SPEAK TO ANYONE WHO CAN ASSIST as I CONTINUE TO BE HUNG UP ON BEFORE BEING CONNECTED TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. As a result, I am currently COMPLETELY LOCKED OUT OF MY XXXX ACCOUNT and I do not know where else to turn for assistance!!!!

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: GLA Collection Company, Inc. (IN)

As early as XXXX, I am seeing negative medical collections items on my credit reports as follows : Date of Service : XX/XX/XXXX AMT : XXXX Acct # : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Date of Service : XX/XX/XXXX AMT : XXXX Acct # : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Date of Service : XX/XX/XXXX AMT : XXXX Acct # : XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Date of Service : XX/XX/XXXX AMT : XXXX Acct # : XXXX XXXX  XXXX-XXXX XXXX The dates above are for medical expenses that were billed to me. The original creditors have since sold the debt to a local debt collection agency, GLA Collections. The amounts disputed have never been verified with me, despite several letters to the 3 bureaus requesting the documentation bearing my signature contracting I owe this debt. Additionally, I have always had some sort of health coverage, whether it was under my father 's plan up through summer of XXXX, where my employer has now covered my insurance consistently through the present. Through corresponding with the credit bureaus and directly with the creditor, GLA Collections, the only documentation they can provide is the date of service along with the provider and amount billed to me on generic computer print out statements, without any description of the service to prove the validity of the charges. As of XX/XX/XXXX, I had also sent a letter to the Privacy Officer of  the hospital over these charges in regard to them violating HIPAA when selling my information to a collections agency without my consent or knowledge. Since that correspondence, I still have not received the written communication I requested to verify this debt.

( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy.

( b ) Reasonable procedures It is the purpose of this subchapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter.
