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: VA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for the XXXX student loan repayment plan through studentaid.gov on XX/XX/XXXX, for my federal loans serviced by Nelnet. The XXXXXXXX website says my application was " processed '' on XX/XX/XXXX, and said my servicer completed a review of my application on XXXX. I received an e-mail on XXXX from Nelnet saying they were reviewing my application and that if they had not completed this process in 10 days I would receive another e-mail. Their website states they are still reviewing my application, and I have received no further e-mails or updates from them. I was issued a billing statement for the month of XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for an amount that did not reflect the amount I was quoted by studentaid.gov for the XXXX plan, due on XXXX. I submitted the full amount of this payment on the date it was due because I did not want my account to be delinquent. In looking for help resolving this issue, I read the following statement on XXXX : " If you applied for the XXXX XXXX close to your bill date or before your required payment due date, your servicer will place you in a forbearance status for the upcoming billing cycle while they process your application so that you do not pay more than you need to. Your servicer will also place you in forbearance if they can not process your application before these dates. '' This clearly did not occur, and Nelnet is showing a bill due in XXXX for the same amount ( which is about twice what I should be paying with XXXX ). If Nelnet could not process my application in time, they should not have charged me at all, according to the government website. They also stated they would provide further communication through the review process if it took longer than anticipated, and they have not. I am also attempting to resolve this with Nelnet, but the wait to speak to a phone representative is often several hours long, which is also unacceptable.

Complaint narrative:
Re : Experian Response to CFPB Complaint # - XXXX dated XX/XX/2023 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing in response to your statement dated XX/XX/2023, concerning my complaint about the inaccurate personal information on my consumer report. Your response mentioned, You are requesting these items be removed. Regarding the remaining names and addresses on your credit report, please note that we store address and name information as it is sent to us by your credit grantors or from information contained in public records. One or more sources of information report the address and name listings and they are a part of your credit history. If you believe an address or name in your credit report is inaccurate, you may want to contact the source of the information directly. 

I would like to highlight that this response is not only an act of negligent noncompliance pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) section 617 but also a direct violation of 15 USC 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy.

15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) states that, if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a consumer reporting agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly of such dispute, the agency shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate.

Furthermore, 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) mandates that if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file is disputed by the consumer and the consumer provides the consumer reporting agency with notice of such a dispute, the agency must, before the end of the 5-business-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute, notify any person who provided the disputed information of the dispute. This notification should include all relevant information regarding the dispute that the agency has received from the consumer.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
XXXXXXXX XXXX  continues to lower my credit limits on accounts that have no late payments causing my credit score to be negatively impacted. This started with my XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  almost 5 years ago. They just recently reduced it to only leave {$9.00} available instead of the roughly {$100.00} available credit I had. I had also opened a line of credit through XXXXXXXX XXXX  at XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was granted a {$4000.00} line of credit, used about half of that and have already repaid the majority of the balance, never been late on payments there either, but they also reduced that credit limit to {$1100.00} recently - leaving me less than {$200.00} available credit. Each time they lower my credit limit, it appears that my balance is high and the credit is maxed out, which lowers my credit score and they use that as an excuse to continue lowering my limit - an unjust cycle.
