I have a credit card with aspire XXXX since XX/XX/2023. I have not missed a payment up until now. I was out of work due to a family emergency I came back last week. I am on a fixed income and I am barely making it. Yesterday XXXX I received emails from aspire about a past due balance of {$56.00}. Then today XXXX I received a phone call from XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX. I answered thinking it was someone else. And it was an agent from aspire XXXX. She explained there was a past due balance and she had seen that a payment was scheduled on XXXX. And then she proceeds to ask me is there a reason why you missed that payment. It is clearly none of her business. I am on a hardship and short on income due to me being out of work and I need time to get back on my feet. I would like the calls to cease and desist until I get more income to get caught up

Complaint narrative:
I contacted : NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEM and an employee told me that I had to stop by the XXXX XXXX XXXX office. And resolve that charge of : {$410.00} with them and request a letter stating that said debt does not exist. The next day I went to said office and spoke with XXXX XXXX and she told me that they no longer have information on my payment history and there is no information in the systems. Since the company : XXXX XXXX took the computers and files, I asked her if I had the address and telephone numbers and I didn't have them. How is it possible that they are collecting a debt that I can not refute?

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I took out a personal loan with firstmark in the amount of {$29000.00}. When I ran into some financial difficulty, I contacted the company and was directed to go to XXXX XXXX XXXX I told Firstmark I didn't take out a student loan, so I was unable to complete this form to request help. They told me the personal loan I took out was actually a student loan. 

I am wondering how it could be legal for a company to claim that the loan they gave me was a student loan, not a personal loan. I haven't been in school since XXXX. I wasn't asked for, nor did I provide, any information ( name of school/graduation date/etc ), so I don't know how this is considered a student loan. Was I given this loan under false pretenses, and if so, is it still binding? I was able to secure a 3 month forbearance on the loan, but I'm now questioning the whole thing. 

I'm not sure the company will give me a straight answer, since I questioned them and was just told " this is a student loan ''. 

Please let me know if this is legal, and if not, what are my options. 

Thank you so much, XXXX XXXX
