Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Nelnet reported to the credit bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX for late payments. In the amount of {$9800.00}. This caused a huge negative drop on my credit score during a time that I was in the midst of taking out a loan and then to find out my credit dropped from a XXXX to a XXXX has ruined everything. With absolutely no communication from the lender or anywhere in the world regarding student loan status this has caused a major set back for millions of people. On XX/XX/XXXX my loans were placed back into a forbearance through XX/XX/scrub> 2025. 
I have submitted disputes on my credit reports on XX/XX/XXXX with no change and again XX/XX/XXXX. The information reported to the credit bureaus potentially ruining the lives and economy is outrageous. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I called Nelnet and explained the situation to the representative and she said she understood and assured me that my accout was back to current since the forbearance was approved. I asked about how credit gets reported and she explained that Nelnet reports back to the credit bureaus on the last day of each month ( so that day ) and the information should show up as current when updated. It did not come back as current. 
I also made a {$5000.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX towards my loan paying more than what was missed and paying off entirely 2 out of the 4 " groups '' that had open balances. On XX/XX/XXXX i also sent an email to Nelnet customer solutions explaining the same information.

Complaint narrative:
[ Your Name ] [ Your Address ] [ City, State, Zip Code ] [ Email Address ] [ Phone Number ] [ Date ] Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , DC XXXX Subject : Complaint Against XXXX XXXX XXXX for False Reporting Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding their misleading communication and failure to accurately report my account to credit reporting agencies, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On XX/XX/scrub> 2025, I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that they had updated and reported my account to all credit reporting agencies. However, upon contacting their customer service on the same day, I was informed that my account had not been reported, and I was advised to reach out to TransUnion for clarification. 

Following this interaction, I contacted TransUnion, which confirmed that XXXX XXXX XXXX had not verified or reported my account information. TransUnion 's response explicitly stated that they could not reinstate the account on my credit report because the information from XXXX XXXX was not verified, highlighting the inaccurate claims made by XXXX XXXX. 

The failure to report this credit card account has not only misrepresented my credit history but has also significantly shortened my credit history. A longer credit history is crucial for maintaining a favorable credit score, and the absence of this account is negatively impacting my overall credit profile. 

This situation raises significant concerns as it appears that XXXX XXXX XXXX knowingly provided false information regarding their reporting activities to both me and the credit reporting agency. According to Section 623 ( a ) of the FCRA, it is a violation for creditors to furnish inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies. By falsely claiming to have reported my account, XXXX XXXX XXXX is not only misleading consumers but also violating federal law. 

The implications of such actions can be severe, including potential damages, fines, and attorney fees for affected consumers. I urge the CFPB to take action against XXXX XXXX XXXX  for their misleading practices and to hold them accountable for their violations of the FCRA. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope for a prompt investigation and resolution regarding this issue. 

Sincerely, [ Your Name ] [ Your Signature ( if sending a hard copy ) ]
