Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I have not been able to login to my Experian account. I have been trying since early XX/XX/XXXX / In early XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to login to my Experian account which I froze in XXXX after a credit tracking company data breach. ( I have the letter from Experian stating the account is frozen. ) The webpage did not recognize my password. When I tried to reset, the webpage did not recognize any data including my email or SSN/birth date combination which has not changed in XXXX  years. 

I attempted logging in several times. I logged out and back in to reset. I turned off the computer VPN. I tried all data at least three time and checked for errors. I tried to resolve using provided phone numbers. The phone automation kept redirecting me back to the pages that refused all data. I then tried emails on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Their reply email string stated they did not recognize my data, to use the number I could get by logging into my account and sent me to another phone number whose automated line directed me back to the email account. I sent a letter on XX/XX/XXXX with all the data they required such as address, current license and insurance. My reply back was like the email. I resent a letter in XXXX after their reply that did not help. I stated would contact consumer bureaus but did not. 

Through all of this I only want to talk to a person not automation and determine why I can not get into my account. I gave up. I decided to take the time to contact you this year when I could not unfreeze my account to free up my credit for a purchase. Before contacting you today XX/XX/XXXX, I tried to login and reset my password and use the customer number. I was not able to reach anyone. 

I do have an account as I have a letter from Experian concerning the account and freeze status from XXXX. 

I find it amazing that an agency that collects critical data on me without my consent to use as they see fit and provide to strangers upon request, can not be contacted to solve a problem. 

I attached XXXX letters to Experian. The second has the same date as the first likely because I was too steamed to proofread it closely. 

I still just want to talk to a representative instead of automation to determine why I can not access my account and fix it for future credit freezes/ unfreezes. 

Thank you

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2022 following the opening of the student XXXX XXXX application, I requested a refund from my loan servicer, Nelnet, amounting to {$20000.00} for payments made on my loans during the XXXX pandemic. 


I checked in regularly on the status of my request for a refund, and at the end of XXXX, it was approved and a balance was restored to my Nelnet account. 


I waiting for a month to receive a XXXX for my refund and received nothing, and did not get a notice that a XXXX had been issued. I called back in XXXX, to which Nelnet said they were checking into the issue. 


On XX/XX/XXXX, I called back and noted that I had not received any follow-up, and more over had not received the refund I was owed. With the customer service team, we decided to place a hold on that check and re-issue the refund, noting that this had been in process for XXXX  months after approval at this point. 


In speaking with the representative, they noted that this would put me at the bottom of the list of refund applications, and I would have to start the process all over. I argued with them and filed a complaint with the company. I was told at this point that I should receive a check in XXXX weeks as they were prioritizing issue resolution. 


When I asked for confirmation that this complaint has been submitted, Nelnet proceeded to promptly email me the private information of another borrower, including their name and loan amounts. I promptly reported this, to which they had me delete the information, but gave no further update on the status of my complaint. 


Following this, I heard nothing from them, and called back again at the end of XXXX, to which the representative I spoke with reiterated that my refund application had been sent to the bottom of the stack, and that they were currently experiencing a processing delay of XXXX months, and that I should receive my refund in XXXX or XXXX. She also confirmed that they would follow up with me every XXXX weeks to update on the status. 


This follow-up occurred throughout XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, but I have not heard from them in XXXX, it is now XXXX, and we are XXXX  months post when my refund was approved, and I am still awaiting my XXXX for thousands of dollars, and the balance has been restored to my account. 


In this time, I have lost out on hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in interest at this point. In addition, should the loan repayment begin again before my refund is received, I am concerned that I will now owe more than I did initially. I am VERY frustrated, and feel as though I am being gaslit and have been gaslit by Nelnet for almost XXXX months, knowing that if I were this late on my payments, I would face serious consequences.
