Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem with your payment plan
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
At the beginning of this week ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I received an email from FAFSA stating that my SAVE repayment plan would begin accruing interest on XX/XX/XXXX. The language in that email strongly implied that I needed to take immediate action to switch to a different plan. Specifically, it included the statement : " If you're working toward loan forgiveness, are enrolled in the SAVE Plan, and want to start making qualifying payments, you must apply to switch to another eligible repayment plan. '' Please note the use of the word mustthis was presented as an urgent requirement, not a suggestion. 

Acting in good faith and based on the urgency conveyed in the email, I submitted an application to switch repayment plans. That application was approved today, XXXX XXXX XXXX days later. However, I was then informed that interest on my loans would begin accruing immediately, even though my first payment under this new plan is not due until XX/XX/XXXX. 

When I expressed concern and requested to be switched back to the SAVE plan until XXXX XXXX avoid two weeks of unnecessary interestI was told that doing so was not possible. 

This entire process has been extremely misleading and, frankly, punitive. I am being penalized for responding proactively to what I believed was an urgent directive. I now stand to accrue approximately {$160.00} in interest between now and XX/XX/XXXX on my {$59000.00} in student loansinterest I would not have incurred had I simply done nothing. 

How is it that a repayment plan can begin accruing interest before a single payment is due? And why was none of this disclosed in the initial communication? 

This situation undermines trust in the student loan servicing system and disproportionately affects borrowers who attempt to comply with guidance in good faith. I request that this issue be reviewed immediately and that steps be taken to reverse any interest accrued before XX/XX/XXXX due to this miscommunication. 

My service provider is Nelnet by the way.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my consumer credit report by Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX  for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Specifically, Equifax is reporting the account as " Pays account as agreed '' with a " 30 days past due '' delinquency. XXXX  is reporting " Paid account/was 30 days past due '' with a " 30-day delinquent '' status. XXXX  is reporting " Paid or paying as agreed '' but does not indicate a payment status. These reports are inaccurate and need to be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' and " Paid as agreed '' for all accounts. These entries are inconsistent, contradictory, and inaccurate. I am requesting that the status of this account be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' or " Current, '' and the worst delinquency status be updated accordingly to ensure accuracy in reporting. Upon review, I have discovered that these entries violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( CRA ), particularly Section 611, which requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information contained in consumer reports. Furthermore, the entries were reported without my written authorization, in direct violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ), which mandates that consumer information can not be accessed or used without the explicit written consent of the consumer. I expect a detailed response outlining the findings of your investigation, including documentation of the original written instructions from me, with my wet signature, authorizing the reporting of this information, and an explanation of the legitimate purpose for reporting these late payments. Additionally, I request a thorough investigation into these disputed late payments as per Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA and written confirmation of the investigation 's completion, along with details of any actions taken to rectify this matter. 

Lastly, I request documentation to verify compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b, which mandates that periodic statements must be delivered at least 21 days before the payment due date, including the periodic statement and corresponding tracking number to confirm timely delivery. I have attached proof of the inaccuracies and highlighted them in red for your convenience. I trust that you will handle this matter promptly and in compliance with all applicable federal regulations. I look forward to receiving a response within 30 days of the date of this letter. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
