Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/2020 I sent a letter to my student loan provider Nelnet advising I was an active student and shouldnt have been billed a monthly payment. I have never been late with my payments. My school provided a notice advising I was still a student and the service provider denied fixing the late payment to the credit bureau. Although its only XXXX late payment with Nelnet it had significantly affected my credit score which hinders me from obtaining a mortgage loan.

Consumer Complaint: I received a letter from the Department of Education on XX/XX/2022 stating that the department is discharging my loans without requiring me to file an application because of the persuasive and widespread nature of school 's behavior and under borrower dese regulations ( 34 C.F.R. 685.206 and/or 685.222 ).

Consumer Complaint: My loan was sold to Firstmark services. First of all, when I first got with this new company, I was told I had 90 days before being reported to a crediting agency. A little long, but I always made sure I kept it in that window since Im trying to start my life off. At the start of this process, I hit some snags because the XXXX XXXX was supposed to be paying this loan per my enlistment contract as a part of my bonus. When I found out that the XXXX was not fulfilling their end, I started paying. After starting to pay, I continually told Firstmark that I am the primary so please get with me on all the information I need to know. Firstmark continually sends mail, emails, and calls to the Co-Signer, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and only sends me the bill. Firstmark does call but I repeatedly told them that I am a Deputy Sheriff on Midnights and when they call I am asleep. The times I do get to answer, no one answers the phone. Ive even heard the person on the other end of the line having a conversation. They will then call the co-signer as if I didnt answer at all. For example on XX/XX/XXXX, I answered the phone and, with witnesses, stayed on the line for XXXX minuets with the both of us trying to get someone on the other line to talk. Then, XXXX minutes later Firstmark called the co-signer and left a message. Something Firstmark has never done for me. Now, the co-signer is threatening to sue me due the him being adversely affected by the situation and me not being able to take care of the situation. All due to the fact that after multiple complaints Firstmark refuses to elevate the issue. Ive reported to management multiple times and when I ask to speak to management, like today XX/XX/XXXX, I get hung up on. I feel as if Firstmark is operating as such on purpose given the fact the co-signer has stated that he will not pay any part of the loan to both myself and Firstmark. As I do not have the best history of payment, I do have a history even paying more than what the monthly payment is at times in order to try and catch up.

Subissue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Consumer Complaint: I took out my student loan for my graduate studies ( XXXX ). Please see attached document for the payments, amount applied to loan and amount applied to interest with dates. My parents helped be a large portion of my loan payments throughout the years as I did my Masters ( XXXX ) and Ph.D. ( XXXX ). The loan was transferred to First Mark Services on XX/XX/2021. The amount we have paid on interest is incredibly high compared to the price on my loan, which is very unfair given that I was a student for many years throughout that period, the pandemic, family illness, and recent death and economic hardship has effected this too. I was consistently given the advice to request forbearance/deferment as the only possible options, which I did because it was the best given my economic/personal situation. Even recently, the only option I had was to commit to a high monthly payment in the future. Recently, I requested First Mark Services to send over the document I have attached to this complaint and I calculate that I have paid more in interest on the actual loan. In fact, the amount I have paid in interest accumulates to a large portion of the original loan itself. Something that is very unfair, confusing, and should be an illegal practice especially on education.
