Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2021, I sent Great Lakes a letter stating that the loan on file for {$44000.00} is not correct and demanded a removal off my consumer report. They followed up on XX/XX/2021, by stating the debt was paid in full, closed, paid, and the balance as '' XXXX ''. Great Lakes violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 2 ) ( A ) by giving false representation of the amount of debt allegedly owed and the false representation or deceptive means to attempt to collect any debt Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 10 ). Take further notice that Pursuant to 15 U.S Code 1692e ( 9 ) articulates that the use or distribution of any written communication which creates a false impression as to its source, authorization, or approval stating that someone other then me a consumer, in fact, is the creditor when I am the creditor Pursuant to 15 U.S Code 1692a ( 4 ). Great Lakes has violated my consumer rights by using my credit card and I the consumer received no benefit. Congress has said so under 15 U.S Code 1602 ( p ). The term " unauthorized use '', as used in section 1643 of this title, means a use of a credit card by person other than the cardholder who does not have actual, implied, or apparent authority for such use and from which the cardholder receives no benefit. Only I the consumer and natural person have authority over my credit card because I am the cardholder the natural person.

I am a victim of identity- theft, I am writing to request that you block all accounts disputed as fraudulent on my credit reports with XXXX XXXX XXXX , and XXXX. This information does not relate to any transactions I have made. I did not give anyone authorization or consent to use my personal information. I hereby exercise my legal rights enacted by Congress and The Federal Trade Commission, which explicitly states when a victim of identity-theft dispute a fraudulent account on his/her credit report it shall be honored by all credit bureaus and all fraudulent information should be blocked within 4 days and proper notification shall be given to all data furnishers pursuant to section 605b of The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act.

( b ) duty of furnishers to provide accurate information. -- Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) of THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) is amended ( 1 ) in subparagraph ( A ), by striking " knows or consciously avoids knowing the information is inaccurate '' and inserting " knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate '', and ( 2 ) by adding at the end of the following : ( D ) DEFINITION -- For purposes of subparagraph ( A ), the term 'reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate ' means having specific knowledge, other than solely allegations by the consumer, that would cause a reasonable person to have substantial doubts about the accuracy of information.

Therefore, my position is being clearly stated, these accounts do not belong to me, meaning that you are reporting inaccurate account information within my credit file.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: My student loans had gone in default and were transferred to a collection company- back in XXXX I setup a payment plan to bring those out of default but the old information still shows on my credit report. In addition that company helped me consolidate my debt owed to middle XXXX XXXX XXXX into my loans that are out of default and back to being processed through Great Lakes and are currently deferred due to Covid 19. The XXXX old account information still shows on my report as well. This year I submitted a new fasfa and tried to reenroll at XXXX. I was told I still owed that account balance that I had thought was consolidated so I paid it to the school in order to enroll. After I submitted a complaint with you I noticed my consolidated loan balance went to XXXX rather than XXXX refunding the money to me during a current hardship as a single mother. I decided not to reenroll at the college due to a multitude of troubles that I endured while registering and with the financial aid awards being different than what I had been told in correspondence from fasfa. All the old holders of my loans before transferred or while in default are still showing also.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Don't agree with the fees charged

Consumer Complaint: Hello, I just learned that my on-time and auto-pay benefits were turned off in XXXX due to a supposed missed payment. I've been paying this loan for 20 years ( since XXXX with the same bank account ) and have XXXX record of a payment ever missed. It is very likely that this happened when the loan changed hands ( which it has many times in 20 years - Nelnet has been the servicer multiple times. ) I have not to my recollection ever missed a payment. As I noted to the servicer in XXXX my wife and I had recently sold a house and had no banking issues at all. As this has been on autopay for many years it doesn't add up that a payment would have been missed. I not only was ever informed of the late payment but I only caught it while going through statements and doing the math. If the loan didn't change hands so often I may have found it much sooner. Looking for a refund of the overpaid interest going back 14 years. Even 0.25 % adds up over that long of a period. Thanks, XXXX
