Incorrect information on your report
Student loan: Federal student loan servicing
Account status incorrect
Complaint: In late XX/XX/XXXX, I asked to have my payment lowered ( {$2000.00} per month ) for an income-based repayment plan. I provided the correct amount of my income and provided the documentation in the correct timeframe. I was then placed on a forbearance dropping my credit score by 20 pts, but not for a single month as I asked. It's until XX/XX/XXXX. I didn't miss a payment and am in no way derelict. I called Nelnet and tried to resolve the matter and all the respondent did was repeat that I was under obligation to fulfill my promissory note. I still don't know what's going on or how to fix it.

Student loan: Federal student loan servicing
Received bad information about your loan
Complaint: Nelnet student loans servicer is reporting my loans increases interest while in deferment in red to appear as a negative then right under them in red they are reporting my student loans in blue to look as if I have loans than what is actually.
They did this just in XXXX or XXXX. When I filed a complaint they removed all of my loans in red. Now they have replaced them in XXXX, XXXX.
I have had these loans since XXXX and XXXX had they reported my loans in red for each time interest is applied to my balances while in deferment until XXXX and XXXX.
I believe Nelnet is purposely placing the list of my outstanding loans in red and blue to make my creditworthiness damaging and make me look like I have 100 loans when thats not true.

Dealing with your lender or servicer
Student loan: Federal student loan servicing
Received bad information about your loan
Complaint: I have been paying for over 20 years on two student loans that are now held by Nelnet as of XX/XX/XXXX. Today, I spoke on the phone with a Nelnet customer service representative and learned that I have been accruing capitalized interest at a rate of $ XXXX/month. This capitalized interest has been accruing without my knowledge and Nelnet has not notified me of the existence of this debt.
When I asked the Nelnet rep how I was supposed to pay off this capitalized interest that I am not being billed for and which has now grown to be a debt of {$1400.00}, I was told to just add {$64.00} to my monthly payment of {$360.00} even though that does not appear anywhere on the monthly statement as a debt I owe. However, if I only pay $ XXXX/month, I will keep up with the monthly interest accumulating but never pay off the total debt, right? That seems like bad advice and disingenuous. How can I pay off a debt that I never get billed for and never get notified of its existence?
I spoke with another Nelnet phone rep named XXXX back on XX/XX/XXXX, to inquire why the extra principle payment I sent in was not applied to my loan and instead was issued as a credit on the following months statement ( statement date : XX/XX/XXXX ). I was told that I accrued interest of {$110.00} during a previous forbearance in XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX that had not been paid off so extra payments could not be paid toward principle until that had been paid off. I asked how was I to know about this and how could I pay it off XXXX said she would investigate and I have still not heard back ; in the meantime, Nelnet is apparently charging me daily interest without billing me for it and without informing me of the debt.
I made numerous payments toward extra principle in XX/XX/XXXX before Nelnet purchased my loan and they were applied per my instructions to pay down principle. When I paid extra to Nelnet, it was not applied to either the principle or the capitalized interest but instead was designated as a credit to the following month 's bill. I could have easily paid of {$110.00} if notified of the debt ; now that it has grown to a debt of {$1400.00} ( and increasing by the day ), it is much more difficult to pay off.

Struggling to repay your loan
Student loan: Federal student loan servicing
Can't temporarily delay making payments
Complaint: Nelnet payments known as campus commerce or student loan servicer is holding me responsible for {$290.00} monthly payments, as of XX/XX/XXXX on a balance term total of : {$1700.00} for the Fall XXXX semester. I made a down-payment with non-refundable processing fee on XX/XX/XXXX and one payment of {$290.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I can not afford such large repayment ( s ), and I've let both the XXXX, ( XXXX XXXX College ) Campus : Students Accounts Office and Nelnet repayment plan offices understand this. I currently am in a student loan deferment to postpone payments until XX/XX/XXXX with NELNET, making many attempts to express of my inability to make any more payments. Senior Administrators at XXXX XXXX College recognize my hard work and persistence and commitment earning a semester average grade point that meets or exceeds 3.50. The XXXX College has also accepted my Intent to Graduate Application as of XX/XX/XXXX with graduation commencement on XX/XX/XXXX, but have put holds on mailing my Diploma. until payment of {$1100.00}, is received. With a still remaining Term balance amount of {$1100.00} for the Fall XXXX Semester, I've run out of explanation of how to get repayment to their offices, knowing I can not meet their demands for payment, can you help me?

Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports: Credit reporting
Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Complaint: This company is reporting multiple accounts on my credit reports that is inaccurate. I sent out a dispute to all credit bureaus regarding this company on XX/XX/2018 and still this company has verified information back to the bureaus that is incorrect and inaccurate.
This company chooses to violate my rights by failing to complete proper investigating under section 611 and 609 of the FCRA. This company continues to report incorrect charge off information even after these accounts were closed. In some accounts showing that I was late even after the dates of last activity showed these accounts to be closed.
Even after filing for a chapter XXXX bankruptcy, this company shares incorrect payment history while also not reporting statements like this account is currently a charge off account, 120+ days past due, 180 days delinquent, Account renewed, and/or no update received. This is obviously a violation as companies show only report accounts current/included in bankruptcy. It has been over 60 days from my initial dispute and I have sent 3 in total and this company still fails to correct this incorrect information and still chooses to delete this incorrect information after being challenged.

Billing dispute for services
Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I opened a loan account with Nelnet , Inc., a Federal student loan administrator whom I was directed to by my college XXXX XXXX XXXX University - XXXX, NY Campus. I borrowed the amount that would suffice the difference between total tuition cost and my partial scholarship, which was {$6500.00} or thereabouts. On XX/XX/XXXX, I borrowed a like amount from the same administrator for the same reason as the first loan from XXXX. In the XXXX instance, I had to acquire two loans that made up the amount needed ; a larger loan of {$4000.00} and a smaller one of {$2000.00}. At this time, the balance of all three loans totals {$13000.00}, including interest.
In XX/XX/XXXX, as shown by the provided images of the reporting of XXXX , XXXX, ascertained by an online credit monitoring service, the lender began to report missed payments in excess of 90 days. I myself, as the borrower, was not properly notified of payments becoming due and eventually delinquent at the time of these reports. I was not contacted directly by Nelnet , Inc. until XX/XX/XXXX, when I was granted forbearance of payment for financial hardship. I was notified by the representative who assisted me with the forbearance procedure that efforts had been made to contact my mother, whom I did not live with and did not have regular contact with, in regards to the delinquency of the loans. As the sole borrower of the loan, whose accurate contact information was provided with the application for the loan and online management portal, I believe it is not just that this administrator made no effort to contact me as the borrower in pursuance of payment or procedure in regards to the loan until several months after the account had become delinquent.
I continued with forbearance with no issue from the provider for more than one year after the initial delinquency and maintained good standing with Nelnet , Inc. and they reported as such to credit bureaus. However, in XXXX and XXXX of XXXX, they once again reported missed payments in excess of 90 days, also visible in the provided imagery, despite my forbearance status. Upon contacting the administrator again, they reinstated forbearance, but did not report good standing to credit bureaus until seven months later, in XX/XX/XXXX, also visible in provided images. More investigation of their reporting procedures indicate that numerous months of all three accounts being in good standing went unreported by Nelnet , Inc., which I believe is unjust. It is unjust not only for the initial failure to contact me as the sole borrower associated with the loan, but also for Nelnet , Inc. to continuously report the account delinquent in excess of 90 days and not reporting at appropriate intervals of 30, 60, and eventually 90 days, as well as their failure to report positive standing for many months throughout the repayment period.

Problem lowering your monthly payments
Complaint: My total loan is for {$360000.00} with the company XXXX, Nelnet. The loan is from when I attended XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in the XXXX XXXX, however I did not see that listed as an option. The lowest payment they gave us through IBR and extended payment is {$2300.00}. We can not afford this monthly payment. Consolidating the loans would still be about XXXX and would hurt my credit as we are trying to move. They go off my gross salary and do not take into account our bills or my other student loans, or taxes. They refused to see my salary after taxes and after our bills. They refused to help us with a payment lower than XXXX. The most we can afford is $ XXXX. They kept trying to get us to do foreberance which does not help the situation. I have a contract job and my salary will not increase, ever. The loan will also collect more interest with foreberance. They refuse to help us and now the loan will go into default due to not being able to make the payments. I dont think they should force people into foreberance where the company will make more money.

Trouble with how payments are being handled
Complaint: I have made monthly payments on my Nelnet loan since I finished graduate school approximately 12 years ago. My balance is now $ XXXX _higher_ than the original loan amount. I do not see how 12 years of payments has not lowered my debt at all ; in fact, it has been raised. There is no way in which I am able to get their numbers based on their stated interest rate and practices ; and I would like CFPB to assist in resolving not only my situation, but in looking into Nelnets business practices. It would be particularly helpful as a starting point to request that they turn over borrowers payment history and corresponding calculations upon request for transparency and independent oversight mechanisms.

Student loan: Federal student loan servicing
Problem with customer service
Complaint: I have nothing but problems with Nelnet since the inception of my loan in XXXX. They have improperly, unprofessionally, negligently, and in a continually timely manner handled my loan which resulted it the outset a negative reporting to the three major credit bureaus. I thought it then appropriate and fair to have the negative information. I had taken a semester off of school and were asking for money and offered no solution to fixing things and reverse the negative credit reporting.
Then in XXXX I was finally told about a REPAYE Plan because of my income. I applied and was approved. Then in XXXX, when I went to recertify my Plan, I marked the appropriate boxes that nothing had changed from the year before, which was supposed to trigger an auto renewal of the plan. However, they messed it up and required I start a whole new application. They did the same thing to my wife 's loan!
Then in XXXX, history repeated itself. But not for my wife. Hers went through fine. When I went to recertify I hit the same boxes saying nothing had changed. I found myself two to three months later having to redo things because they admitted they again dropped the ball. Additional information was requested me and I complied. I was sent statements showing no balance owed and a letter saying my REPAYE Plan was certified, only to be hit with an email on XX/XX/XXXX, that I had a payment due the following day! I made every attempt to contact Nelnet by phone, online contact page and email, but no one was available. When I filled out the online contact page I was told someone would get back to me. What I got was an email five days later telling to reapply!
I then contacted Nelnet by phone on XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. I spoke with XXXX XXXX. She apologized for the troubles I had with Nelnet and said she would talk with her supervisor on a plan to straighten everything out.
When she returned from a hold, she assured me!, that if I trusted her this would be my final hurdle to making sure my REPAYE Plan was in place. Her instruction, she would fill out a new application so I did not have to, all I had to do was have my wife sign it and I sign it. Then she would send me a sample income self certification letter, I would write one modeling it. That was ALL I needed to do. She also said that any amounts owed would be waived and any negative reporting to any credit bureau would be reversed. As well no payments would be required after our conversation.
My wife and I printed, signed the app page, scanned it and sent it back back with the income self certification letter. Yet, after that, Nelnet kept sending demands for payment! Then 10 days after we sent them what they asked for they said they needed MORE info! They info? Well they said they only received a partial application and therefore needed a new app! I simply added the signature page into the app they sent me and sent it back.
BUT! Then on XX/XX/XXXX the dared ask for MORE information! I called and the first person I talked with said I had to start over with a new application! I talked to three others after him only to be told the same scripted story and there was no one else available who had any Authority to do anything!
I did make a request to the first gentleman to have XXXX XXXX call me back on XX/XX/XXXX when she was to return to the office.

Incorrect information on your report
Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports: Credit reporting
Account status incorrect
Complaint: Ive just reviewed my credit reports at all 3 major bureaus and noticed there are eight inaccurate late items on my report all from my DEPT OF ED/NELNET student loans. Please note, the only time Ive ever been late was in XXXX, when I sent my payment on XX/XX/XXXX, which was only 12 days late! It should NOT have shown up on my credit reports as even 30 days late, not to mention 90 days late, which is what it is showing. This is absolutely untrue, and Ive attached screenshots of my XXXX payment, as well as the payment I sent XX/XX/XXXX, to show that these accounts were never even 30+ days late.
They are reporting all 8 student loans as 90 days late, but none of my payments were even 30 days late. This is so frustrating as it's taken my credit score down 200 points, and is not even true! I ask that Nelnet remove all of these late payments from my credit reports immediately, as I have provided proof of my payments, and the information they're reporting is not true.

Problem lowering your monthly payments
Complaint: I have a student loan with Nelnet that I started paying in 2012. At that time, the monthly payment was {$220.00} per month for more than three years. Then, without any notification this increase to {$330.00} per month. Now Nelnet increased to {$370.00} a month. This is a high amount that I have had difficulty paying. I contacted Nelnet and they did not give me any convenient option to make my payments in an affordable way. In addition, they informed me that the loan will be paid in full within ten years from now and this was the same information I was given when I started making my payments in 2012. The total of my debt is {$25000.00} and in ten years I'll end up paying about {$45000.00}. Nelnet must provide accurate information about the payment plans and respect the established conditions.
