Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My student loans were transferred from Great Lakes Borrowers Service to Nelnet this year. Ive yet to receive my full payment and loan history from Nelnet. When I request it, instead of providing the information in a PDF, in an email, or through traditional mail, they send me a message to my Nelnet inbox on their website. The problem is, messages sent to my Nelnet inbox are not accessible. There is no way to view the contents of any messages they send me. Clicking an unread message does not open it, it just marks it as Read. 

Additionally, on XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed a mistake in my loan information on Nelnets website. Ive attached a screenshot, but essentially they have categorized one of my XXXX loans from XXXX XXXX XXXX as a XXXX  loan from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX This is clear because their website indicates the disbursements for this loan occurred in XXXX and XXXX. I attended XXXX XXXX from XXXX. Since there are different procedures regarding XXXX student debt and XXXX  student debt, there are potentially serious financial ramifications mistakes like these could cause for me. Since I am unable to access my complete loan and payment history, I have no way to check if Nelnet has made additional mistakes regarding my loans.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am giving authorization to this company to respond to this cfpb complaint. I have requested that this company cease the reporting of the account stated in the attached dispute letter due to federal violations. Pursuant to the IRS Publication 4681 any cancellation of debt is considered a certificate of indebtedness and its now income. Income can not be reported per the IRS publication. However, this company did NOT honor my request for removal. This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act and both this company and the consumer reporting agencies are participating in this violation. Additionally, as a financial institution, they did not disclose to me my right to opt out of the disclosure of my nonpublic information or directions on how to exercise my right to opt out as dictated by law. I sent them a letter notifying them of my request to be opted out of my nonpublic information being furnished to consumer reporting agencies pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 6802 and 16 CFR 313.7 in which they have denied my right. Instead, they stated that they do not offer their customers the option to opt out which is a direct violation of federal law ( s ) as they are REQUIRED to give opt out disclosures. As a federally protected consumer I am now revoking any and all authorization that I, the consumer, may have given them written, non written, verbal, and nonverbal per 5 U.S. Code 552a and I am demanding that my nonpublic information cease to be furnished. If this matter does not get settled, I will pursue litigation for damages.

15 U.S. Code 1681s2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies ( a ) Duty of furnishers of information to provide accurate information ( 1 ) Prohibition ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.
