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

Complaint narrative:
Over the summer of 2023, I was notified my loan was switched from Great Lakes to Nelnet. 

Upon logging in to the system in mid-XXXX to set up auto pay, the processing form reported 'error, your request can not be processed '. I double checked all the information entered ( which was correct ), tried again, and received the same error. I changed browsers - same error. I chalked it up to a systems issue and tried again at varying times over the following two weeks. I also tried using the regular one time payment method, and received the same error message as well. 

Yesterday, I sat on hold for XXXX minutes trying to contact Nelnet and understand what I should do with payments due on XX/XX/XXXX, and no feasible way to ensure payment is processed. Meanwhile, my loan continues to accrue interest that I can not pay off. After XXXX minutes, I had to end the call and return to work. I also submitted an email request yesterday outlining the issue, experience, and process I used. I underscored the need for a quick reply/solve due to the approaching XX/XX/XXXX deadline. I have not even received a response confirming receipt of message. 

I can not believe it is legal for a company to continue accruing interest on accounts that can not be paid on

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX we sent a check we received from our insurance company to our mortgage company ( Newrez ) for their endorsement and release of funds. We also provided all of the required documents via their portal. We were told it would take 8 - 10 business days to process, and we did not get a check until 16 business days later, and it was only $ XXXX of $ XXXX. This was after several frustrating calls and emails with the company. 

We were informed that the rest of the money would be released after a satisfactory inspection by their contracted inspector indicating at least 60 % of the work was completed. I met the inspector on XX/XX/XXXX, and she indicated we should hear something back from the mortgage company in a few day. Today - XX/XX/XXXX there still was no new information on the portal, so I called, and the customer service agent confirmed that 70 % of the work was completed, and a payment of only {$8500.00} was requested by management, and we should receive it by XX/XX/XXXX. He also said that the remaining {$17000.00} would be released when they assessed that 90 % of the work was completed. I told him this was not acceptable, and that I would file a complaint with the CFPB. He tried to get a supervisor for me to speak to, but XXXX was not available. He said a supervisor would call me, but no one has. 

We have never missed and/or been late on a mortgage payment. 
I also want to know how to collect any interest they may have earned while holding our money.

XXXX XXXX  ( my employer 's payroll ) said they could not file a dispute because they only have a record of my mobile deposit and advised me to call my bank to file a dispute.
