Inaccuracies and Violations : Charge-Off Status and Balance Discrepancy The account is reported as " charged off '' with a balance of {$3700.00} while also showing " {$3700.00} written off. '' This is contradictory and violates 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires credit bureaus to maintain maximum possible accuracy.

Incorrect Payment History The report reflects ongoing charge-offs in XXXX and XXXX despite the account status being closed in XXXX. Reporting charge-offs post-closure is inaccurate and misleading.

Unverified Ownership and Account Closure Reason The comments state that the " Account closed at credit grantor 's request. '' However, no proof has been provided that XXXX XXXX XXXX  had the right to continue reporting past the account closure date. 
Hindrance to My Financial Opportunities Due to these inaccuracies, I have been denied multiple credit opportunities, employment, and financial products. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), I demand the immediate deletion of this erroneous account.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem lowering your monthly payments
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is regarding my student loan servicer 's ( Nelnet 's ) unfair and deceptive interest accrual practices. My loan servicer is continuing to charge interest on a loan even after I have paid it in full, applying interest to the previous balance until the next billing cycle. This practice is misleading and financially harmful to borrowers who, like me, are hard workers, struggling to pay off their loans while providing for themselves and family. When I pay off a loan, I expect that my payment immediately stops all interest accrual on that balance. However, an advisor told me that interest continues accumulating based on my old balance until the next billing cycle begins, even though the loan has already been paid off. I seem to be getting new information every time I call the servicer, too! I believe this is an unfair financial practice because : Borrowers are misled into thinking they have fully paid their loans when they actually owe additional interest. This creates unnecessary additional charges that make it harder for borrowers to pay off debt
efficiently.

Other financial institutions ( like credit card companies ) do not operate this way, so why are student loan servicers allowed to?

I request that the CFPB investigate this practice and enforce clearer, fairer policies regarding interest accrual and loan payoff timelines.

Student loan servicers are gauging VULNERABLE people. I, for one, am very well-read and intelligent -- yet there is alway something new and different I learn about the loopholes that student loan servicers exploit. Again, if I were to loan individuals money and pull this criminal activity, I would be sued. These companies need to have spines and operate fairly. MAYBE THEN, fewer people would try to get OUT of paying their loans!

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against Navy Federal for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request an investigation into my account transactions.
