Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I have been paying my student loans regularly and on time. My Cosigner and myself saw a huge drop in our credit scores. I called them XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) they could not find the issue at first. They eventually found the issue and said it would be rectified and would give me a call that Monday ( XX/XX/XXXX ). They did not give me a call. I called them Tuesday and they gave no help on fixing this problem. They stated it just went on to review which they said they were doing that Friday ( XX/XX/XXXX ). My cosignor and I rely on our credit score to be good because of our business.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Consumer Complaint: My wife and I are parents that have had XXXX children go to college that are paying back student loans. I supported all of my children by co-signing for their loans, one of which, I was able to pay off. In order for my youngest child to finish college at XXXX XXXX University, over the phone, I agreed to the loan, later to find out it was a " Parent-Plus loan '' loan that she nor I were given details about the loan terms, nor did we understanding this type of loan or the ramifications of it's terms. My daughter called me from the finance office of the school at the last moment for her enrollment. My complaint revolves around how my payments, to date, are being credited to the loans, extreme interest charges, and the lack of explanation as to why and how the fees and charges are causing the loans to increase, regardless of the payments made to date. The original loans for the Parent-Plus Loans totaled {$36000.00}. Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have consistent made payments totaling XXXX, but my total balances have continued to increased, to date, to {$42000.00}. I have attached documents explaining the terms, payments and balances of the loans. My wife and I would like to apply for assistance with the loans or forgiveness, given that she and I are XXXX years of age and are at our retirement ages. Please review the attached " Account Balances Statement '', original loan amounts and outstanding principal balances column for balance discrepancies and exorbitant terms. Also see the Detailed Payment History report and Account Snapshot and advise. Thank You, XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX and I am sending this request myself to address the inaccuracies on my Credit Reports. I have been patiently waiting on their response about the written requests I sent. However, any modes of response or coordination were not taken on their end. They have not complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i within the time allowed by law and continued reporting as unverified information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes. Below are the lists of the erroneous accounts reporting on my Credit Report :

Consumer Complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX and I am sending this request myself to address the inaccuracies on my Credit Reports.I 'm not swayed that Bureaus efficiently pleased the principles of the Fair Credit Reporting Act in completing their investigation. The Bureaus are reporting inaccurate information on Nelnet Loan Services. Per FCRA, reporting must be 100 % accurate or the information must be deleted.
