Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Consumer Complaint: Nelnet debited my account after my loan was paid off under consolidation, and sent this payment unbeknown to me, to the new service provider. They claimed they had the right to do this because I had signed an automatic payment agreement with them. But my agreement was with them to make payments to. It did not authorize them taking money from my bank acct. to pay someone else. Besides they told me the automatic payment system was stopped in XXXX of this year after the loan was paid off. My bank acct was debited by them and indicated through my bank statement, on XX/XX/XXXX. If I had not checked my bank statement I would not have known because I was never informed of this taking place. When I discovered this payment was made, I called and they told me a check for the amount would be sent to reimburse me. It would take 6-8 weeks. I waited 10 weeks and after receiving nothing, I called again. First they told me I should have received it and put me on hold, then they told me the money was sent to new provider and my money would not be refunded. When asked who authorized this they said it was their policy. I hadnt even started a payment plan with new provider yet. I should have been informed by Nelnet that this was done. This is literally stealing money from my account!! How many people have they done this too without providing any information or authorization???

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I am in distress and can not believe that the Dept of education is still reporting inaccurate n incorrect information on my credit report. On XX/XX/2023. I wrote dept of education regarding this plight and to dispute these inaccuracies to which my request went unanswered. I wrote dept of education/Nelnet stating that they did not investigate my dispute within 30 days was a violation of FCRA section 623 ( a ) ( 8 ), to which the information in question has become unverifiable and must be deleted under the FCRA .Dept of Education/Nelnet finally wrote me back after 50 days stating they found no adjustment needed. I am in total disagreement with this conclusion first of all it was concluded outside of the 30 days they have to under the FCRA and was already deem unverifiable.
