Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Received bad information about your loan

Consumer Complaint: I called Nelnet about conflicting information I was receiving between The secretary of education, XXXX, and Nelnet. Sometime around XX/XX/XXXX I applied for the XXXX debt forgiveness offered by Secretary of Education. In completing the application I used the loan number for the loan I had with Nelnet. The balance is about {$10000.00} on this loan. A letter dated XX/XX/XXXX was received by me from the secretary of education stating not to make payment until XX/XX/XXXX. I talked with a supervisor today at Nelnet and they said that was for another loan with Great Lakes and did not apply to this loan. They also turned me in to the credit bureau for not making payments. I have not heard from nor takes to Great Lakes for over 5 years. I was not able to explain this to the supervisor because he kept talking over me when I would try to speak. He said FASA informed me wrong. Because of the way he was talking to me I was able to see he was not going to help resolve my issue.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: Between XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX ; I took action via a credit reporting service to have older and inaccurate information on ALL my credit reports be removed. ALthough some information has been removed, unfortunately not all the information was removed and therefore is causing a halt and sometimes negative affect on my reporting. To maintain accuracy and truth to my reports, I'm taking action myself to ask for items to be removed from my account based on the laws listed below : According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) the credit bureaus have to modify or delete accounts that are not reporting accurately According to 15 USC 1681b ( 1 ) the credit bureaus dont have no written permission According to 15 USC 1681 I have the right to privacy According to 15 USC 1681s-2 A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. ( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Received bad information about your loan

Consumer Complaint: On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed in an email that all loans serviced by Nelnet would be automatically opted in to electronic notifications, and that if I did not wish for this to happen, I would need to opt out of paperless billing on XX/XX/XXXX. I went to the Nelnet website to opt-out and there were no options to opt out, but under the Manage Paperless tab there was an option to opt in. I then went to the email which provided a link to the area to presumably opt out of paperless billing. However, this only took me to the Manage Paperless tab where I had the opportunity to opt in to paperless billing. I then emailed my concern to Nelnet. On the morning of XX/XX/XXXX, I received a reply thanking me for my email and saying it would be added to a database of suggestions to improve Nelnet services. In response, I once again searched the Nelnet web page ( including the Manage Paperless tab ) in order to opt-out of paperless billing, and once again the only option allowed me to opt in to paperless billing. Nelnet plans to implement this on XX/XX/XXXX. Their notice requirements fail to meet federal regulations, and thousands of borrowers who prefer paper statements will be opted in to Paperless Billing as a result of their actions.

Consumer Complaint: I have received bad information about a private student loan I secured with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Nelnet Servicing LLC ) in XX/XX/XXXX. I did not receive information on when payments were scheduled to begin and the monthly amount. Recently, I have started receiving harassing phone calls from XXXX and an email dated XX/XX/XXXX, that my loan was delinquent. I then received an email dated XX/XX/XXXX indicating that there was an important message in my XXXX inbox regarding my account. These two notices have been the only communications I have received from XXXX. I have not received any prior communications on how to access my account, billing statements, or any prior communications from XXXX that my loan was coming up for repayment.
