Consumer complaint received 2023-09-25 00:00:00
Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My federal student loan servicer is Nelnet. I have had the absolute worst experience with this company. I have called 3 times and have received misinformation from the call center representatives on all occasions. I applied for SAVE on XX/XX/XXXX. I received an email confirmation from FSA that my application was processed. Even when I login to my FSA account, it shows that the loan servicer has reviewed and processed my application on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  and it's now considered 'Closed. ' However, when I log in to my Nelnet account it showed my repayment plan was still 'Income Based ' which was the initial plan I applied for on XX/XX/XXXX. So even though they processed my SAVE application, their system did not update the status. Due to this error, I have since accrued capitalized interest on my loans since XX/XX/XXXX. I called Nelnet on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  and was told by the rep that only my IBR application processed and that the SAVE application is still processing ( even though it had been over a month since I applied ). The rep stated since I applied on XX/XX/XXXX, that Nelnet would backdate the interest and therefore, all the interest that had accrued since XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  would be removed. She assured me of this! I did not feel confident in her response, so I called again on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX. She stated she sees my SAVE application still in processing but wanted to make sure, so she placed me on a lengthy hold to speak to a supervisor to confirm. She then returned and stated that my SAVE application will be processed any day now and that nothing additional from me is needed. I gave it another week and still nothing processed. So, I called again on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  and immediately requested a supervisor. I spoke to XXXX, who stated he's a supervisor. He reviewed my application and stated they needed my most recent paystub and that was the reason for the delay. NO ONE else told me this. The prior two reps I spoke to said nothing was needed and that it would process, and all interest will be backdated and now I'm being told by a supervisor that they need my paystub. I immediately uploaded my most recent paystub to their online portal. XXXX stated it should process by Wednesday of next week since my application has been pending since XXXX and they process in order received and my application is considered older. It's been 10 days since that phone and still NOTHING has processed. I am absolutely furious at the customer service I have received. Clearly, no one at Nelnet has any knowledge and just gives their customers misinformation. As of XX/XX/XXXX, my loans have accrued {$300.00} in interest since interest restarted on XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an XXXX & Equifax breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I applied for the new SAVE repayment plan which required I also apply for a loan consolidation - I completed the 2-part application on studentaid.gov on XX/XX/23, choosing Nelnet as my servicer. Two weeks ago, I received an email from Nelnet that my consolidation loan had been originated, so I logged in and saw that I had been placed in a more expensive Standard Repayment plan, where my monthly amount due is double the amount I was expecting ( based on the official payment calculator provided on studentaid.gov ). I have tried calling Nelnet 5 times over the last two weeks and have spent over 6 hours on hold, without ever speaking with a representative. Once, the call dropped after 1 hour and 50 minutes on hold, and their website went down as well. I have also emailed my concerns about my repayment issues to Nelnet but have not yet received a response beyond the generic " we received your message '' email. With payments due so soon, I am extremely anxious and concerned about the mismanagement of customer service and repayment issues, and the lack of clear and accessible information.

Complaint narrative:
I lived in an apartment called The XXXX XXXX until our XXXX  XXXX  in XX/XX/2021. I paid the final payment prior to leaving, and there was no property damage. My last week living there they removed access to the online portal used to pay rent and it was no longer possible to pay anything or see any bills. About one year after this their parent company sent me an email asking for about {$260.00} dollars. I thought they were confused about me paying the final electric bill so i sent them my receipt and asked for more information. They sent a very vague bill just requesting extra rent money but did not m were not clear what time frame or reason for the request so i asked for a detailed bill. They never emailed me again. Now they have sent a debt collector who has requested even more money with no explanation and seems as though it could be a scam. I don't know what to do with them. Thank you

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for accounts listed without my expressed written consent. 
These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.
