Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email notifying me of the debt. On XX/XX/XXXX, I asked for more information and debt validation. A few emails went back and forth, I got a few phone calls during times in which I could not answer. I sent a letter following up that I would like more information and debt validation. I received a letter back asking for information that is not required for debt validation. I received another email on XX/XX/XXXX asking me to call in regards to the debt, I responded to this email reminding them that I asked for debt validation in XXXX and attached the letter I sent which requested them to stop contacting me if it wasn't in reference to the debt validation and to remove everything from my credit history as the debt is being disputed. I never got a response. They are still reporting on my credit history, they have not provided anything to validate the debt, and if this is not fixed by the end of the month, I will be contacting an attorney to sue.

Subissue: Received bad information about your loan

Consumer Complaint: In regards to group XXXX nelnet balances and payments. The website does not reflect the total amount due to pay off a student loan group, nor does it allows for any overpayment for daily interest. You can not over pay or try and the daily interest. Upon my payment on the website it appeared that I was paying off my group B loan in full, but my statement show I still have a balance of XXXX cents Daily interest is {$0.00}. A full business day did not pass after payment, how was interest added? My payment due is {$3.00} which is {$3.00} more than the balance and interest combined. XX/XX/22 statement shows a principle balance of {$500.00} and a daily interest of {$0.00} XX/XX/22 on Friday night I made a phone call to Nelnet about paying off a laon. I was advised to include the daily interest so my loan would be paid off. That amount was not provided during the call. XX/XX/22 Friday night I went onto the website and set up the payment of {$500.00} for the payment to process on Monday XX/XX/22 so my payment would process on Monday. The website would not allow more that {$500.00} in payment, I was not allowed to pay an extra {$0.00} for the daily interest. XX/XX/22 my payment was successfully processed. XX/XX/22 the statement shows a balance of {$0.00} and my amount due shows as {$3.00} How did daily interest apply when the payment was the less than one business day? Why is my amount due higher than principle and interest? XX/XX/22 I called Nelnet and made a complaint that I paid my balance for group B in full per the website. The representative said you have to also pay daily interest. I said the website does not allow payment above the balance. She tried to remove the XXXX cents but was allowed to. She asked if I wanted to pay the XXXX cents and I said it was presented as if I had paid the loan in full. I should not have to pay additional money. She tried again to removed the XXXX cents, again unsuccessfully. I said fine, I will pay the XXXX cents, but she said she was unable to for some reason, it would not allow her to process the {$0.00} payment. She said call back before XXXX tomorrow during business hours. I said ok and hung up. I work during normal business hours and had already spend XXXX minutes trying to sort the amount owed out. I did not take time off work to try and pay money that I did and do not believe I owe. XX/XX/22 statement shows {$0.00} principle balance and an estimates interest of {$0.00} but the amount due is {$3.00}. How do I owe {$3.00}? XX/XX/22 my balance on the website said {$0.00}. I made a pavement of {$0.00} using Nelnet website. This payment was successfully processed. I have other loans for a much higher amounts that I intend to pay off in the future. Will I continue to experience this problem on a larger scale?
