Company: HomeTown Lenders, LLC
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I started my home loan process with hometown lenders back in XXXX. It started out great but towards the final process of my loan things have taken a turn for the worst! This has been the most stressful experience of my life. My loan officer did not tell me that I would have to put funds in an escrow holdback at closing. She kept saying that I qualified for the dream home program and would close and have over 30 days to complete the needed finishes on the home I purchased. Then right before closing, I was told I had to put over {$15000.00} in an escrow holdback so that I could close on time. I believe I closed on XX/XX/XXXX and then it said that I had to make the repairs by XX/XX/XXXX. I told the loan officer that I did not think my contractor would be able to make that timeline but she told me to sign it anyway and to not worry about the date. I never felt comfortable with this. Then, my contractor did not complete it by that date. I was threatened after this by the loan officer. She would say that if it was not completed Hometown Lenders would fine me for not holding up to obligations. She also contacted my contractor and demanded to know when he would complete the repairs and was extremely rude to him. Now, the work has been completed. The appraiser has also done the final inspection and my funds have still not been released. I already had to pay my contractor some of the balance for the completed repairs before even receiving my funds from the escrow. This has put me into financial turmoil. I am absolutely devastated and do not know what to do! I already had to come up with {$15000.00} and now I will have to pay my contractor almost {$9900.00}. This is {$25000.00} that I have had to come up with and I have no idea if or when I will receive this {$15000.00} back. This has gone on for weeks and Hometown still cant tell me where my money is or if I will get it back!

Company: Nelnet, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am unable to reach anyone at NelNet by phone. The website frequently crashes. I applied for the XXXX plan XX/XX/2023. I have not been put on the plan yet. I have received a letter saying I have a balance due XX/XX/2023. However, I login and the balance says " XXXX '' owed until XX/XX/2023. I emailed XX/XX/2023 to followup on these questions, have not heard back. 

Everytime I call, it says the wait time is too long and to call back. If I elect to wait, I wait XXXX hours, and then the automated service says the call center is closed ( even when their listed business hours say they should still be open ). 

My concern is that I don't know how much I am supposed to pay, or when it's actually due, and interest is accruing this whole time. 

It is not transparent, there's no one to go to for help.

Complaint narrative:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an Experian & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.
