Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I made a payment on XX/XX/XXXX. They did not credit it toward my XXXX due date. I made 3 calls to Nelnet in the month of XXXX. The first call, they said they would reallocate my payment and advance my due date. Two weeks after that, I called again as my due date had not advanced. A Nelnet representative told me that the initial request was handled incorrectly and that another request would be made to reallocate the XX/XX/XXXX payment and advance my due date. This has still not happened. 

A similar issue is now happening for my XX/XX/XXXX payment. I made my XXXX payment on XX/XX/XXXX. At this point I have paid my monthly amount owed three times - specifically on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX - since entering back into repayment starting XX/XX/XXXX. The website still says I owe a payment for XXXX. I called in a few days ago and was told this was an error and would be fixed, but my payment is still showing due.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I recently checked my credit report and noticed that Midland Credit Management is reporting 2 collection accounts. Account numbers XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They are reporting these accounts as being open as of XX/XX/XXXX but their initial reporting to my credit was XX/XX/XXXX. Midland did not notify me about these accounts before reporting them.

Ive attached a copy of my credit report dated XX/XX/XXXX that shows Midland was not reporting these accounts at that time. Ive also attached a copy of my credit report that I checked on XX/XX/XXXX and it shows Midland reporting both accounts with a balance update as of XX/XX/XXXX. 

Midland has reported these 2 accounts on my credit report illegally and is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Federal Trade Commission. The FDCPA requires debit collectors to notify consumers about a debt before reporting it.

The Federal Trade Commission has taken legal action against companies engaging in debt parking, emphasizing that it violates consumer protection laws ( FTC vs Midwest Recovery Systems, XX/XX/XXXX ). 

Furthermore, by Midland illegally reporting these collections on my credit report without notifying me and giving me the right to dispute, this has damaged my credit. I have been denied loans and credit cards due to this.
