Issue: Struggling to repay your loan

Subissue: Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan

Consumer Complaint: the problem listed on the prior webpage is the same as mine ... paid forever and many fees added -- owe more now than ever ... My loans were sold to a private institution ( preventing me from ability to receive forgiveness -- without my knowledge or consent ). I have worked as a XXXX XXXX XXXX, as a XXXX in a State University ( XXXX ), and as a XXXX XXXX XXXX -- for a cumulative total of over 15 years ... No forgiveness me though ( guess I am too XXXX and a male or something like that ) and I owe more now than I originally did -- despite 15 years+ in payments -- very discouraging! I believe I have paid interest now totaling approximately {$45000.00} and owe more today than I originally took out in loans... Doubt you will help! Keep making that money... Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: This is XXXX XXXX XXXX, who is submitting this CFPB complaint myself, and to inform you that there is no third party involved in the process. I have a loan with XXXX. I have always made my payments on time. For some reason, I realized that there were 120 days late payments on my credit report. I have read enough to understand my rights. The XXXX and XXXX Credit Bureaus are required to verify for themselves, but they failed to neither verify nor update me about these complaints. I also tried contacting XXXX and XXXX Credit Bureaus requesting a complete payment history with these accounts for me to review the exact date on which the late payments were posted. Unfortunately, there was no successful resolution provided nor feedback heard from the concerned Bureaus. Please update or remove the late payments from these accounts. Below are the following accounts with erroneous information and need to fix immediately.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Consumer Complaint: I have Low income. And each year I am to apply for the income-based repayment program. I tried on my borrowers website this year to apply but I was unable to do so for some reason it wouldnt accept my information. So I went to the federal student aid website and applied for my income-based repayment program there assuming it would transfer to my loan servicer NelNet. I called NelNet in XXXX to advised them of this and they said my payment would stay the same which was {$390.00}. However my payment went up to XXXX and I never received a notification that this would occur. The last email I received from Nelnet was in XXXX asking me to recertify which I had difficulty doing so I called them after I did it on the federal website and they said that my payment would remain the same but it changed and they did not notify me!

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Keep getting calls about your loan

Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/2021 I reapplied for Income Driven Repayment Plan through Nelnet attaching signed documents and affidavit statement of {$0.00} income as did not file with IRS. Nelnet 's dashboard for uploading documents then up loaded executed forms and non executed forms. It would not allow me to delete nor view uploaded documents. Nelnet continue to harass effort of non receipt and upon a second successful effort to provide them with documentation, uploaded to their dashboard. I am still receiving demand of already submitted. I do not and can not afford a phone and have effortlessly tried to comply with what is being asked of me. However Nelnet still harasses to default loans to garnish.

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: This is XXXX XXXX XXXX, who is submitting this CFPB complaint myself and to inform you that there is no third party involve in the process. 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 : DEPTEDXXXX-XXXX //LATE open - Balance {$900.00} -Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX //LATE open - Balance {$770.00} -Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX DEPTEDXXXX-XXXX //LATE open - Balance {$3500.00} -Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX DEPTEDXXXX-XXXX //LATE open - Balance {$6500.00} -Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX
