Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Consumer Complaint: Automatic payments are not going through due to Nelnet 's system. The money is in the account and payments have been made on time every month for over a year. Now, all of a sudden, I miss payments due to Nelnet 's fault and they can't help. I called and thought I handled the issue. Welp, same issue the following month. I called again and once again I believe the issue is handled, but we'll see. They will not refund me their {$15.00} ( XXXX ) charge. At this point I'm thinking is my credit being hurt. Nelnet is not going to give you a refund, or make any changes to credit reporting, and/or be responsible for data breaches that are Nelnet 's fault. Good luck. That's how they treat you. It's not the person on the other line 's fault. It's Nelnet.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Problem with customer service

Consumer Complaint: Nelnet has failed to process {$1000.00} payment made refund back to me. They processed only one of two {$1000.00} payments neither have been received. They are using deceptive practices to the consumer and CFPB. In my last complaint and subsequent conversations with them they informed me that they only mailed me and processed one payment refund for the amount of {$1000.00}. However that payment of {$1000.00} was split into two different checks. They canceled those checks at my request and were to expedite them to me at a new address however they have failed to do that. During those subsequent conversations they informed me that the other payment for {$1000.00} was never processed back in XXXX of XXXX. At this point they still have not processed the second payment of {$1000.00} and I have not received that one either. It has been 5 months and passed the deadline when they are supposed to refund this money. They added the money back onto my account months and months ago. If they fail to respond to this or expedite both checks for a total of {$2000.00} within the next 10 business days I will be disputing {$2000.00} with my bank and credit card. The payment has already been added back onto my account so it looks like I have never paid anything and yet I don't have {$2000.00} back in my hands. That is deception and fraudulent.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Consumer Complaint: I had resubmitted my income based repayment through the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as I do for both of my loans and for my XXXX. XXXX of my loans through XXXX went through fine and my XXXX XXXX was fine, but Nelnet was unable to process the payment plan for some reason. I contacted the company and was told that they had issues receiving the documents. I offered to send over my full tax documents which I did on XX/XX/2022. I was told that the documents didn't have decimal points and clarified with my XXXX XXXX that they DON'T have decimal points on the documents. I resubmitted my income based repayment plan on XX/XX/XXXX and received a confirmation that it was received. I was then charged another {$300.00} in XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX while I tried to get ahold of the company and resolve the issue. I finally resubmitted another income based repayment in XXXX and again didn't get put on the plan through Nelnet. My last attempt was at the end of XXXX. They just hit me again for another {$300.00} payment as of XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted the company again and they were able to take me off the automatic payments, but weren't able to provide me any information about why my lengthy attempts to get put on the plan were denied. Since XXXX they have charged me {$1200.00} instead of the approximately {$200.00} that should have been charged my account. I have yet to speak to a manager because I have been told that XXXX is unavailable. I would like to have my money refunded and re-charged at the correct rate as well the ability to transfer my loan to another company without a penalty.
