Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
My student loans from the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX were discharged on XX/XX/year>. I received an email from the Department of Education stating that my loans were discharged based on borrower defense evidence and that I did not have to make any more payments. The email also mentioned that my loan servicer would inform me if I was eligible for a payment refund, which could be mailed to me or sent electronically. I contacted my loan servicer, Nelnet, to confirm my address and was informed that a check would be sent in the mail within 30 to 60 days. However, I have not yet received the check. 

After 90 days, I called Nelnet again to inquire about the timeline for my refund check, but was directed to the Department of Education and Federal Student Aid. Both departments confirmed that the refund should come from my loan servicer. Upon contacting Nelnet once more, I was told that they would escalate the issue and provide a response within 5 to 7 business days. However, I have not heard anything after 10 business days. 

I am frustrated with the runaround I have been given regarding my refund check and I am eager to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Chime Bank Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Chime Bank regarding a transaction issue that remains unresolved. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I made a purchase at XXXX for {$140.00} using my Chime account. Shortly after, the transaction cleared for only {$70.00}, leaving an authorization hold of {$71.00} unreturned to my account. 

Per Chimes policy, I should have been credited the difference immediately after the transaction cleared, given that only {$70.00} was debited from my account. However, this did not happen. When I contacted Chime 's customer support, I was informed that I must wait XXXX days for the {$71.00} to be refunded to my account. They also claimed that XXXX is responsible for the delay. 

I find this explanation unacceptable as it contradicts Chime 's own policy regarding the handling of authorization holds. This delay in returning my funds is causing undue inconvenience and financial stress. I believe Chime is not acting in good faith by holding onto funds that should have been promptly returned. 

I am seeking the CFPB 's assistance in resolving this matter and ensuring that Chime returns the {$71.00} to my account without further delay. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, GS Bank reported a late payment on my Apple Card. This issue occurred because my primary bank, XXXX, unexpectedly closed my account, and I had to open a new bank account to handle my finances. The process caused delays in making payments, which resulted in the reported late payment. 

As a 100 % XXXX veteran, I take great pride in managing my finances and making timely payments. Since opening my Apple Card account in XX/XX/XXXX, I have never had a late payment prior to this incident. I am doing everything in my power to continue making on-time payments, and I believe this late payment was an unfortunate exception due to circumstances beyond my control. 

I understand that GS Bank has since closed my account, and I fully intend to continue making all payments as required to fulfill my obligations.
