Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Consumer Complaint: Nelnet XXXX XXXX ( " Nelnet '' ), either through negligence or malice, has caused me damages as a result of their irreverent handling of tuition refunds. Specifically, Nelnet has made multiple mistakes that have resulted in an ACH transfer being reversed, as a result of this reversal my bank account is likely to be charged one or more overdraft fees. Worse, Nelnet has purposefully delayed a refund of {$930.00} dollars in an apparent attempt to ensure that I would be charged overdraft fees. Outrageously, Nelnet has reordered their ACH transactions to ensure that withdraws are processed before deposits. In detail, I have been owed a {$930.00} refund for over one week now. However, despite promising to provide a refund in a couple of days Nelnet has not even started the process of initiating a refund and has instead focused on withdrawing nearly {$4000.00} from my account in an out-of-order manner. If Nelnet has processed transactions in their logical chronological order wherein the {$930.00} refund was executed first then it is likely that the current torturous activity of Nelnet and resulting damages may have not occurred or been limited in scope.
